The Japanese were trying to wipe the entire Pacific fleet out with one punch, making it too costly for the Americans to enter the war.

…so they could capture the Philippines unimpeded. That is not “hoping for peace”. That is hoping for an easier war.

Fascism may have some overlaps with the Baathis party

You could say that. It would be more accurate to say the venn diagram of the overlap is a circle. It’s weird that you oppose fighting one and not the other. What is the difference you’re concerned with? Do you just not like the word “fascism”, and are ok with governments that are fascist in all but name?

But it’s pretty distinct from it considering Baathism revolves around pan Arabic unity

More like pan Sunni supremacy. Are you forgetting he gassed an entire region trying to genocide an ethnic minority in his own country? Fascist ideologies all revolve around pan (insert race/nationality here) unity. So, again, what’s the difference?

and socialism

Hussein was about as socialist as the National Socialists I guess.

and you sound like Neville Chamberlain circa 1930’s.

Chamberlain gave the UK time to arm so they didn’t get blitzkrieged into extinction.
