it was just a couple of weeks after pearl harbor, and there was a lot to discuss. we had the same goals, but there were tremendous questions about allocation of supplies and material and men to europe or the pacific or north africa. and so they had a lot of work to do, but roosevelt and churchill got along famously after christmas. churchill took a special train to canada, gave a famous speech to the canadian parliament in ottawa. he came back on the overnight train on new year's eve, and the next morning he gets off at union station, goes to the white house, where roosevelt had arranged for him and mrs. roosevelt in their party to come here to christchurch for the commemoration of the national day of prayer. churchill's granddaughter, celia sandys, wrote a book about churchill's travels, and she said it would be hard to find a more evocative setting for this service because this was the home of george washington. it's a beautiful setting and a sacred space. and so they sat here in the washington family pew and the service was special and many levels. the church wa

he's writing this letter in december of 1941, after the of pearl harbor, knowing that he is about to get drafted into a segregated military, he's going to be asked to fight for potentially die for a country that doesn't yet treat him as a full citizen. and just to ground ourselves. remember that the entirety of the war, the is segregated in the army. initially black men can't serve in they're put in to supply the disco rolls in the navy black men are only allowed to serve as mass attendance will serve officers aboard ships at the start of the war. the marine corps isn't allowing any americans to serve. it's that until you get the war, they get the montford point marines, the first group of marines, everything in military life is segregated down to the barracks, latrines, the dining facilities. the red cross is even segregating blood from blood donors, even though there's no scientific basis to do that. so thompson is asking a really powerful question matters to him and matters to hundreds of thousands of other black americans. the pittsburgh courier uses thompson's letter to launch w

well, the subject of pearl harbor. yes.was on my mind or your talking about all that was going on behind the scenes. yes. had it not been for her. pearl harbor was. it just so appalling in that that roosevelt had no choice. no. you had you ask a great question. what have what would have happened to. course, i can't know. and it's a couple of facts. one, i'm skeptical of counterfactuals. you always make them do what you want them to do. it's like the tyranny of the ellipse and quotations with the of the ellipse in quotations you become the puppet master. so with you know what i would say here is that what would have happened had the japanese attack not attacked pearl harbor when when we have gotten into the war, would we have gotten it in the war? and the answer probably? i don't know. yes. do you think i mean it's a guess, but i think that's a great question because without pearl harbor and, you know, we have continued to dither. we we might have had to do it, might happened. it's possible that we could have done what woodr

i don't know we can then extrapolate that absence -- that absent the equivalent of pearl harbor, andtler's triumph that's not a straight line. to your second question, those numbers exist. if you go on the congressional research service c hasrs one issue i have with the notion that ukraine is this wonderful opportunity for us to modernize all of our stocks while no americans die but a whole lot of ukrainians are dying to do what we should do if we were reefs responsible country and that's an unpersuasive argument. justin: to pull from that question, there was a real debate on the old write about whether over committing -- we defeated nazi germany to an extent we relatively built up the soviet union. this was at the center of the old write. brandan: particularly in east asia. the argument was that by march of 1945, it was effectively cordoned off by the navy and they ceased to be a threat to the united states and we had a massive army in china and this was the timnegotiate. that seems appalling to us on war in the context of unconditional surrender. world war ii is abnormal in that se

the crisis for america that has some echoes here is really pearl harbor.is where our military was literally sleeping in their bunks in pearl harbor, had no idea, seemingly, this attack was going to come, even though, in retrospect, we saw plenty of intelligence flickers out there. so that moment for the israeli military reminds me of the pearl harbor moment for the united states. in terms of options, more importantly than all of that, and israel will pull that apart and it can't happen fast enough, they need to be doing this in parallel to the fight. let's face it, they're not fighting the japanese empire here. they are not under existential threat from hamas. they can do the investigation and understand. after pearl harbor, what the united states did was bring in new commanders. we got rid of the team that had allowed this to occur. we brought in new, fresh admirals, like chester nimitz, halsy, relatively unknown officers who stepped in and recovered from the situation pretty remarkably. israel, a, needs to investigate this now and fully. b, reshape their

the japanese bombed pearl harbor in hawaii. and they found themselves in the space of that one afternoon going from peacetime right into. wartime. now, -- nixon came from a very quaker family. quakers, as you may know, in that religion. they are very opposed to war and combat. -- parents, frank and hannah, really did want him to fight due to their religious beliefs. and -- was really wrestling that. so he had received a job offer from the newly formed office of price administrator in a wartime agency and, washington, d.c. so this sort of solved his problem for the moment. he could work for the war there out of harm's way. so he accepted the and pat also got a job in washington at the opa and she loved this job and became an economist and was quite good it. however, -- did love his job so much he was very frustrated by the bureaucracy. and later he would take what he learned at the opa and of apply it when he became president. many later he always remembered that with bureaucracy. see, now we've talking about the fact that -- wa

island, to their military base closest to taiwan,” they are moving fuel reserves from hawaii's pearl harborurse, want to help, the defense of taiwan is very important to us, which, as expected, caused an instant reaction from beijing; chairman xi has already personally warned joe biden that quote: he who plays with fire will get burned. the so-called independence of taiwan is the biggest threat to cross-strait peace and stability, and is doomed to fail. us leaders have repeatedly said they are committed to the one-china policy. support independence in taiwan, do not support two chinas or one china, one taiwan, and should not seek to use the taiwan issue as a tool to contain china. in fact, taiwan is today choosing its life course for the next 4 years; the administration will be headed by the candidate who receives a simple majority of votes; there is no second round on the island. natalya lyublinskaya, sergey aksenov, maria mortanova, yuri shcherbakov, natalya labanova, channel one, china. this night the us launched a new attack on the targets. kusitov in yemen. the pentagon confirmed the l

in 2001, the american blockbuster pearl harbor was released, which tells the story of how japanese komikazes sailors, terrible events, explosions, and so on and so forth, and how, as a result, the americans, gathering strength and courage, took revenge on those who killed their comrades. this happens 3 months before the september 11 tragedy. the film is a huge success, and it gets longing, thousands of copies are shown on screens, in thousands of cinemas around the world, all this convinces the audience, in fact the world in general, that a villainous attempt was made on america, which. was rightly dismissed, and this film was released on may 31, 2001, again you can say, conspiracy theories, nonsense, what are we talking about, but i don’t believe in it, you understand, the point is that they are playing the long game, they they play the long game, they are patient, they prepared...

and once the japanese attacked on pearl harbor, he decided join the navy. now, nixon was originally stationed in ottumwa, iowa, in the united states. i, too, was in the navy, and i happened to go to law school, iowa. and i can tell you, in my reasoned opinion i don't think you can get farther away the ocean than to be in a tunnel. iowa. and richard nixon must have agreed because he insisted sea duty somewhere or at a base closer to the action. so he received orders to the heart of the south where the united states troops, the armed forces of the imperial japanese from island to bloody island. and once he was there, he didn't stay the rear. he aed to be sent into combat. he explained reasoning. he said, well battle areas are very dangerous and potentially. the boredom of serving in the rear. when your friends, former colleagues are in battle areas is wno u.s. president has been a member of the united states marine corps. yet richard nixon is the only united states president who served with the marine corps combat unit, and he did it in the heart of world war

if pearl harbor hadn't happened, how world war ii turned out. we might not have gotten engaged.g how much of the money we spend on all of our foreign adventures, leave the united states, certainly military salaries don't leave the united states and hardware money doesn't leave the united states mostly, anybody have an idea how much the congressional donations to the rest of the world actually leaves the united states? >> the historical question and then-- >> i think that's a very valid question of what might have happened had pearl harbor not occurred and i think that we should be mindful of that, as we approach the ukraine problems that now, of course, did happen and we can't go back and trace an alternative history at this point. we don't know what would have happened in the congress. we don't know what roosevelt would have done vis-a-vis the war. so, i think it's something certainly to take into consideration, but i don't know that we could then extrapolate, oh, my gosh, absent the, you know, absent the equivalent of pearl harbor, hitler's triumphing. that doesn't, to me, tha

who fears that his province will become military purpose. 10 hours after the attack on america's pearl harbor, japan attacked us, mainly because there were us troops. i think it will happen again if there are foreign powers in our midst. the philippines was under us control for decades until independence in 1946. the last permanent american base there was eliminated. in the early 1990s amid internal opposition in the philippines. the new arrangement does not restore a permanent us presence. according to philippine officials, attention is focused on acceleration of the military. we have improved our military but it is never enough, it is never enough because of our territorial issues with china. philippine vessels have increasingly come under pressure from china, which is expanding its influence in the south china sea, and some in manila see the us military presence as a deterrent to beijing. the first island line is very important, though, and the first island line is taiwan and the philippines. so with the return of american troops in the philippines, it becomes a problem for them. china cri

the soviet japanese neutrality pact, its relation to pearl harbor and other events in the pacific, which i'll get to shortly, the soviet, the russian, now foreign ministry was not amused. they denounced me by name on the 4th of july. i was after the tweet congratulating americans on their national holiday. they denounced comrade mcmeekin, for his nefarious book. they told me that the soviet union was a peace loving empire and had no designs in other countries. was great, was the very first kind of counter tweet there was? yeah. then who took sakhalin on the islands? santa claus. i thought that was a pretty good retort. that wasn't mine. it was someone else. but so the soviets were slamming the amazing. they maintain this pretense even as they're planning to carve up eastern europe with. it was a brilliant ruse when you really think about it, they just proclaim neutrality. and the germans were actually kind of annoyed about this, as you might imagine. they keep asking the soviets when are you going to invade? we have this agreement. there's a partition line, there's a map. our militaries
