He'll put our troops in harms way, let them get blown up, then scream for vengeance for the atrocity he staged. It got us into WW2, it'll get us into WW3.
Trump got us into WWII?
Trade embargoes got us into WW2.
And here I was thinking it was pearl harbor... I'm so dumb!
But sure, we can step back before that and say it was the US oil embargo of japan.
Then again...
If we do that, we can just as well take another step back. The US was drawn into WWII because Japan occupied French Indochina in 1941... See, japan was a bit deep into the whole land grabbing game, which caused that embargo.
We can go back to the beginning of humanity but I feel like we can just leave it at that the US was drawn into WWII because Japan attacked pearl harbor and then Hitler declared war on the US because Hitler was an idiot.
The point being, the trade embargoes were America's first step into the war. Not that it was the beginning of hostilities. Up until Pearl Harbor, there wasn't enough support for military action, so trade embargoes were used to spur a reaction drawing us into the war.
