I've had to argue with an Englishman about why his interpretation of the 2nd Amendment was wrong. The classic "militia means state army" nonsense. When I pulled up a website showing the 13 separate charters of the 13 colonies, all of which included a right to bear arms worded 13 different ways (most of which unambiguously granted the right to the common citizen) he stopped responding. The fact that Militia is a legally defined term in the Constitution that means "Male citizen from age 17 to 45" didn't sway him.

The Australians, like some American politicians, are letting the Chinese buy their land as well. It's a dreadful situation.

That's actually a misquote, Japan never really planned to invade the US at any point. They wanted to control southeast Asia for resources, and prevent the US from interfering with those plans. The Pearl Harbor raid was a strategy of "the best defense is a good offense," but it backfired horribly because they underestimated our abilities to refit and manufacture more ships. The IJN and Yamamoto (who the quote is attributed to) were obsessed with this idea of drawing us into a decisive battle in the islands, such as Midway (but not a loss for them), and then brokering a peace. This was my top annoyance with The Man in the High Castle as well because it is completely detached from any kind of strategic campaign that the Axis powers actually had.

@shabadooshabadoo4918 It is attributed to a particular historian on MacArthur's staff that went around basically interviewing Japanese servicemen and other people of note to ask them why they did what they did or how failures or successes happened. However there is no evidence at all that Yamamoto said this and there are quite a few reasons for the Japanese (much like the Germans) to lie, especially when the historian in question likely relied on an interpreter. There is a letter referenced that simply doesn't exist. The letters and documentation we do have suggests the IJN never considered invading the US.

In reality, only about 40% of Americans own a gun and that's tragic. That means that only around 150 million people have to try and own about 450 million guns. Well, I have 4, so I guess I'm doing my part... I know a English guy, always lived in shit urban neighborhoods. He is a bit mentally unstable so he never really got ahead in life. However he never thought that giving his right to self defense up was intelligent. He did what he could, mixed his own pepper spray and kept a wooden sword at his bed side.

@marcfilms999 There is no evidence Yamamoto said this. It's important to be factual when arguing for important issues.

@S1D3W1ND3R015 More important than that I would say is our large land mass. Russia has never been successfully invaded for the same reason

@ The Germans did the same thing in WW2. Conquering a capital is an important step to victory, but if you can't hold it, it doesn't matter. If the Axis leaders were intelligent, they wouldn't invade the US at that point. Their resources would have been drained on the war leading up to that point. They would have to stop and consolidate their territorial gains at a minimum. It would likely be an end to the war, and if they were hell bent on conquering the US, a new war in 5-10 years. The point of Germany invading North Africa and Japan invading SEA was to acquire resources. They have to work out the logistics for those resources before they even consider invading us
