DO some fact checking Germany declared war on the USA.
The President's Message
To the Congress of the United States:
On the morning of Dec. 11 the Government of Germany, pursuing its course of world conquest, declared war against the United States. The long-known and the long-expected has thus taken place. The forces endeavoring to enslave the entire world now are moving toward this hemisphere. Never before has there been a greater challenge to life, liberty and civilization. Delay invites great danger. Rapid and united effort by all of the peoples of the world who are determined to remain free will insure a world victory of the forces of justice and of righteousness over the forces of savagery and of barbarism. Italy also has declared war against the United States.
I therefore request the Congress to recognize a state of war between the United States and Germany, and between the United States and Italy.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Is this some sort of historical revisionism to get at FDR? If that's the case then it isn't effective. If the U.S. hadn't entered the European theater there was a pretty good chance that--like you guys always say--they'd all be speaking German over there. And there would be a decent chance we'd all be speaking German here eventually too. Sooner or later a united fascist Europe and Japan--who knows, maybe they would have taken Russia too--would have been a very nasty customer for us to face. So besides bailing out our longtime friends and last bastions of liberal western civilization in Europe we probably saved our own hides by giving them a hand. Understand?

The Overclass pushed Japan into a corner by laying down an embargo of vital resources the Japanese couldn't get except by trading. Once their boy FDR knew Japan was planning to attack, he deliberately ordered a standdown of air and naval defences to make sure their initial move did horrendous damage so the American People would be really pissed off. They were, and FDR and his Overklass buddies had their war.....
None of this means the Imperial Japanese elite were nice people; they weren't and all propaganda aside, their Nazi German friends probably were even worse, but
Pearl Harbor WAS A FRAUD,
just like 911........
