Japan did sneak attack the American Naval base Pearl Harbor, killing thousands

Yes, here were my exact words:

The Japanese did not attack the U.S. They attacked a foreign military base, after significant provocation.

We had conquered part of Asia, so had they. We were equally brutal. What is wrong with one imperialist attacking the military base of another imperialist?

as for raping and pillaging, ask China about Japan, they set the bar

Ask the Filipinos, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotians, etc. Body count: 3-5 million

we had every right to embargo oil to Japan

Sure, but we had no right to militarily block Japanese attempts to acquire oil elsewhere.
