Comments by "John Fisher" (@johnfisher9692) on "The Russian 2nd Pacific Squadron - Voyage of the Damned" video.

great video and I learned much about the voyage and Admiral Rozhestvensky. He had what had to be one of the most horrendous appointments given to any officer. A point you made but many ignore is the incredible hardship of the journey on the crew in ships not designed for tropical conditions and the fact they made it is a testament to the skill of the few competent crew in keeping the ships afloat and moving. The Japanese boast of their massive victory, but it's obvious they had nearly every conceivable advantage except numbers, but those numbers were actually a detriment to the Russians.

What do you think would have happened if Germany had NOT declared war on the US after Pearl Harbour? Would the US have joined the war or would they have just said "Tough luck Tommy, we now have our own war to fight" This would have been interesting if the Japanese had decided to NOT attack any British territory to keep them from getting involved in the Pacific.
