Well, it really did work in the US. This is literally what happened at Pearl Harbor.
Roosevelt knew the attack was coming, very much so, our intelligence was good. But he needed the attack to happen, so he let it happen.
At the time, Europe was at war and our allies desperately needed help, but the US had been dragging it’s heels about getting involved for years. Roosevelt wanted to enter the war and support our allies, but congress just didn’t want to make the official declaration of war. But after the attack on Pearl harbor, that declaration came in short order, just as Roosevelt knew it would.
This is untrue. This is a false conspiracy theory that people keep repeating that has no facts to back it up. This one bugs me because my grandfather was in the merchant Marines and was stationed there when this happened. People parroting that untrue fact drove him bonkers.
What was the prior situation with the reservists? Did they backtrack on their no show threats before the war broke or was the war what forced them to show up
It’s not that easy. There is constant information coming in all the time and intelligent agents need to parse signal from noise. It’s not every single bit of intelligence regarding an attack comes into fruition. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. This is an extremely difficult signal detection problem, one with lives at stake.
And just like 9/11, they were warned of the attack weeks in advance but were still woefully unprepared to protect their citizens.
I’m worried that they DID know, and are using this as an excuse to further their agenda against Palestinians.
With the Netanyahu government, that’s the more plausible explanation.
Well, it worked in the US /s

That’s sadly a possibility.

And just like 9/11, their response is sowing death to countless civilians.

Also they did have radar signatures of the attack incoming but radar tech was new and they didn’t trust it.
