  I mean, kind of? Not in a morally absolving the attacker way. But in a you had agency and chose to underinvest in defense way. That said, it's pretty unlikely the rest of the world could have defended against a technologically advanced Europe / Middle East / China, at their respective peaks, and especially after transoceanic sail enabled cross-sea logistics.
