Peak Petrol

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Before WWII the US was a major exporter of oil. Cleverly, FDR got us into WWII by not giving the Japanese any of our oil.

j/k  

 More clever to say the Japanese got us into WWII by striking our naval base on Oahu.

Yes, ma'am, a harbor at the mouth of the Pearl River, with a nice restaurant with a balcony overlooking the Naval Station at Pearl Harbor, that was a lovely place for Yoshikawa Takeo, third assistant minster in the Japanese Consul on Oahu, to watch the comings and goings of the US Fleet under Husband E. Kimmel, officially CINCUS. Meanwhile, Nagumo Kido Butai was steaming east from Tankan Bay in the Japanese owned Kurile Island.

Thanks for your help, most informative.
