Alan FerrierWell played.
GJ Groothedde 🇪🇺@alanferrier This is brilliant.

Going T. Maine@alanferrier I like the sentiment, I don’t understand fully why the time for this is now and not those other times when we have done air strikes.
Tor Iver Wilhelmsen@going_to_maine @alanferrier The point I think is that this case could escalate to a world war? But by the time Japan dragged the US into it, that war had already been a world war for a few years.
@toriver @alanferrier I think the bigger difference here that I was thinking of was that the earlier strikes have been against terrorists, etc., while this is very specifically an attack on a government.
sanpan@alanferrier I doubt Trump uses Mastodon, otherwise this might have started a war with Japan.
Juho MäntysaloPerhaps truth.social is still federated enough through relays that this gets there eventually?
Julio J. 🀲@sanpan @alanferrier well, technically he does because truth.social is basically mastodon with a "made in America" label on top of it. Not joking here.
derptron@sanpan @alanferrier Him and his cohorts most certainly use mastodon. Truth social is one of the many such servers that much of the federation has blocked. It's a fork of mastodon.

ArchaeoIain@alanferrier that sounds like something that would echo through the ages
Michel PatriceBut they were not at war with the U.S., they were at war with the port of Pearl Harbor.
Magnus Ahltorp@MichelPatrice @alanferrier But Japan actually declared war, even if it was delivered later than it was supposed to.
WELKER: Is the United States now at war with Iran?
JD VANCE: No. We're not at war with Iran. We're at war with Iran's nuclear program.
(J.D. Vance thinks that we're as stupid as the MAGA cultists.)
Kinene⭐🐻@alanferrier Excellent snark.
Erik Haugen@alanferrier Took our nuclear program years to recover.
Ishitonyoutankie@alanferrier more like Toho Hideki but 10/10 still
Hurricane Daveosaurus@Ishitonyoutankie @alanferrier That's Netanyahu. Trump's just going along with everything Netanyahu does like Hirohito did with Tojo. That's why it was Tojo strung up in 1948, not Hirohito.

Arthur van der Harg@alanferrier Hawaii hadn’t been softened up by another country before the Japanese moved in.
GinevraCat@alanferrier Very clever.
Fuck I hate that we never learn!

Indeed. Again, for those in the cheap seats at the back, history does not repeat, it simply echoes.

@alanferrier I assume this is a paraphrase of some tweet from the Swine Emperor?
Father EnochNo way in hell would he be able to make so long a post on #Xitter.
Robin Barton@alanferrier Well done and very enjoyable
Christopher Faille@alanferrier As Vice-Emperor Vance said in December 1941: "We are not at war with the United States. We are only at war with the Pacific fleet."
Michael Zeevi@alanferrier I don't want to get political, so I'll just lol at "all planes are now outside of America airspace"
Brian Repko@alanferrier we aren’t at war with the USA, just their Pacific Ocean expansion program
