Then when the Japanese did it they claimed it was a sneak attack so they didn't have to admit they let all those soldiers die because they thought the Japanese were bluffing. basically same thing happened for 9/11. ๐
Just wanna give my two cents again the American military also received prior notice from the Japanese that they were intending to attack Pearl Harbor but the Americans were like "lol yeah right there's no way they can pull that off" so they ignored it. (1/2)
