Since the anniversary of Pearl Harbor is fresh on our minds, we should reflect on what provoked the Japanese to attack us: unbearable sanctions. It should alarm you history is repeating as we target Russia with sanctions of the same kind. The economy under this administration is very similar to the economy under Roosevelt. To put it bluntly, the powers that be need a war. Compare: Japan/America WW2: The Roosevelt administration, while curtly dismissing Japanese diplomatic overtures to harmonize relations, imposed a series of increasingly stringent economic sanctions on Japan. In 1939 the United States terminated the 1911 commercial treaty with Japan. On July 2, 1940, Roosevelt signed the Export Control Act, authorizing the President to license or prohibit the export of essential defense materials. Under this authority, on July 31, exports of aviation motor fuels and lubricants and No. 1 heavy melting iron and steel scrap were restricted. Next, in a move aimed at Japan, Roosevelt slapped an embargo, effective October 16, on all exports of scrap iron and steel to destinations other than Britain and the nations of the Western Hemisphere. Finally, on July 26, 1941, Roosevelt froze Japanese assets in the United States, thus bringing commercial relations between the nations to an effective end. One week later Roosevelt embargoed the export of such grades of oil as still were in commercial flow to Japan. The British and the Dutch followed suit, embargoing exports to Japan from their colonies in southeast Asia. {Copied from the independent.org} Hmmm, sanctions on energy, economy, defense, freezing assets... and other countries followed suit. Lets see about sanctions on Russia, present day...
