@izzythepush,
The corruption of the Democrats has made at least partial agreement between usually opposed people, for sure.
And I have to say that if I had been president--attacked in a very serious way like the Japanese attack on the US at Pearl Harbor, killing 2500 Americans in a sneak attack -- and I had this horrible weapon that could save my country's freedom-- and I TOLD the country what I had and that I'd use it -- and they refused to stop trying to conquest my country and my people -- would you expect we'd continue to be killed? We'd give up our country and become subject to an aggressor? We'd hold up our hands and hand over the keys?
It's very easy, Mr British Empire, to judge us now.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were horrible.
And I say to you, if you'd been responsible for this country is that moment, you'd have done the same. So easy in retrospect to see the horror and to say you'd never do it.

We dropped letters of warning. They attacked.
It was war. Not sought by America.
And, knowing every self-righteous thing you might say-- and every small wisp of distraction you'll try to use to blame the US--I'll be honest and say I'd have done the same. We didn't seek that war.
Maybe you should be outraged.
And ignore me.
I'll consign myself to the punishment--and isolate from you. Sad, sad.
I would never have surrendered my country. For nothing.
Talk about Vichy France if you have the nerve.
