Nope. Japan attacked US while there was no war between them. Ukraine is attacking Russia while Russia is actively invading its territory. Absolutely legitimate military operation, no matter how you want to look at it.
- cjbgkagh 1y agoDepends if you consider blockades to be an act of war.
- credit_guy 1y agoActually it does not depend, because the US was not blockading Japan.
- cjbgkagh 1y agoIt was at least an economic blockade. I had to double check, I did think they took a more active role, there was a prevention of transit through Panama Canal, and a few other things. If there ever was a time for an economic blockade to be effective that was it. “ an embargo of all trade with a country or region, intended to damage or dislodge the government.” I’m pretty sure if the US was in a position where their government was under thread from an economic blockade they’d consider it an act of war.
