AIUI, shortly before #PearlHarbour and the USA entering #WWII, the USA had "turned off" Japan's petroleum supply.

Interesting.

One reason I've seen put forward for Japan attacking USA in #WWII was "The USA stopped oil supplies to Japan".

Which AIUI left Japan to either attack or roll back on industrialisation and empire building.

Seems so convinient for #Netanyahu that his tool for stopping the #TwoStateSolution , being #Hamas, a group with massive international funding, would be #MisjudgedAndUnderestimated by the #IDF.

I very much doubt that this #CompleteFailure wasn't deliberately orchestrated.

The only surprise to Netanyahu et al was the magnitude of the 07 October 2023 attack I think.

Oh damn, the leopards did eat lots of faces. Guess we'll have to do a genocide.

20 bucks well spent
