Lend lease was in full swing, and they were sanctioning the imperial Japanese.

Not really… Sanctions against Japan and Lend and lease were approved the same year we entered the war.

there was a glimmer of hope at the time that the problem could be resolved with political pressure.

I mean, that’s what both the Japanese and the Nazi were hoping for. That the rest of the world would settle for peace and allow them to keep their spoils.

Putting boots on the ground without trying anything else first is Bush doctrine level bullshit.

And when has appeasing fascist with political discourse ever worked? There’s a difference between standing up to literal fascist invading allies, and Bush’s “war on terror”, trying to conflate the two is pathetic.
