Nice list! A small but significant correction: Japan attacked the Philippines on the same day they attacked Pearl Harbor, Japan time. It was a mere 10 hours later. Japan was an absolutely horrible military in terms of their treatment of anyone they came in contact with, including their own people. In this way the comparison with present day Hamas is uncanny.
Talk about how Franklin D. Rosenfeld committed treason with Lend Lease, cutting off Japan's oil to instigate the attack, and by seizing German ships in US ports before entering the war.
Thanks, I appreciate how you get one right every now and then. Also: FDR was able to pay for it with Social Security withholding collateral and the new Victory Tax that became the personal income tax; and FDR had the decode knowing that Japan was about to declare war but let Pearl Harbor get attacked anyway rather than reveal his knowledge and jeopardize the intel advantage later in the war.
