Japan wasn't an ally, it was a strategic threat - like Russia and China are today. -- nm - Roger More Oct 30, 11:29 1
- and Germany, France, Italy and Spain are too it looks like - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 11:31
Japan was one of the closest allies of the US in june 1941? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 11:26 6
- No, but weren't we friendly before we weren't? The key point is you don't wait to find out that your friends have betrayed you. -- nm - Max Oct 30, 11:35 5
  - And more seriously, not really. In the 1860s, the US sent warships to Japan to force them to open trade. - Roger More Oct 30, 11:46
  - "I'll take Jap anus relations for $400, Trebek!" -- nm - Sean Connery si Oct 30, 11:39
  - so an surprise attack from Canada or Belgium is likely yes? - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 11:38 2
    - Yes, exactly, an attack from Canada is likely. And when people betray you they always put it on the agenda for discussion. -- nm - Max Oct 30, 11:44 1
      - NATO is an integrated millitary allience and you need spies to prevent from attack fro member nations there? - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 11:50
