There was zero threat to CONUS during WW2. If you understand that FDR was planning on fighting a pacific war long before pearl harbor it makes a lot more sense.

- analognoise 3y agoThe USA is not just CONUS. Also there was a Japanese plan to unlease the plague on San Diego - it was ended by WW2. Not...quite sure how much of a threat "attacked Hawaii, allies under attack, plans to send plague to San Diego" all groups up to be, but yeah it was existential.
