That was too easy! :)
(My understanding is that although the quote appears to be naive, Britain started preparing for war in a serious manner. The USA also started their build-up at least a year before Pearl Harbor.
- ilaksh 7y agoRight, and just before all of that started we had the Great Depression which was proceeded by the "roaring 20s". Look up what people like Ray Dalio are saying. He says that US entitlements are intractable, global debt is at historic levels that look like 1937, and in one interview he even seemed to imply that he status of the dollar was in question and there could be a global depression and war. He says we are in the giant slump portion of the long term debt cycle.
- Proven 7y ago> The USA also started their build-up at least a year before Pearl Harbor. If so that is because they planned to push Japan into starting a war with the US.
