Like I said, you really don't know much of anything, understand even
less, and seem incapable of grasping plain English.
Japan wouldn't have needed the NEI oil *at all* if she hadn't invaded
China and brought the US embargo on herself.
All else follows.
You have, of course, achieved that much vaunted target of aficionados
of Alien Space Bat theories ... Low Earth Orbit, achieved entirely by
violent handwaving away of anything resembling a fact or any argument
that makes a mockery of your ... complete, total and utter lack of a
clew.
Congratulations on becoming the biggest clewless maroon on the
newgroup since frackybabe was finally prevented from accessing the
internet from his cell in the local asylum.
Hmmm.
You aren't logging on from Florida, by any chance, are you?
That would explain a lot.
I suppose the next thing you'll be telling us is that the Japanese
should have used their trained Sealions to sink the US Carriers
