<2022-03-07T23:07:02.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: I’m reading the Japanese destroyer captain book you posted. 
<2022-03-07T23:07:24.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: That first chapter was so sad 
<2022-03-07T23:07:36.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: Where they sink his boat
<2022-03-07T23:14:15.000Z> Paultron: oh the Yahagiyeah jap WWII books tend not to have happy endings
<2022-04-29T21:56:14.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: I’m reading this book more now
<2022-04-29T21:56:39.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: i don’t think hara knew when he wrote it about the fact we broke their codes
<2022-04-29T21:57:11.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: Hes confused over and over at how hard they’re getting stomped
<2022-04-29T21:57:25.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: Americans outfoxing them
<2022-04-29T21:58:32.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: Must not have been declassified yet I guess
<2022-04-29T22:04:59.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: Would be interesting to see what wwii would have been like if we couldn’t read so much of their codes 
<2022-04-29T22:05:10.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: just unfair on top of everything
<2022-05-01T23:59:58.000Z> Paultron: yeah like midway was only a fight because they're codes were brokenthen radar just being ship versions of wallhacks
<2022-05-02T03:03:57.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: It would be interesting to see how it would have gone if the Japanese bought enough time with their navy that they managed to dig in in the pacific and build lots of airbases all over
<2022-05-02T03:04:38.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: would have been a lot harder to evict them from the pacific I would think
<2022-05-02T03:06:06.000Z> Paultron: i doubt anything would changedsubmarines spam was real and was managing to starve japanese island garrisons even in 43 since there was no good jap convoy system, entire garrison forces eating coconuts and game meat since the retarded army/navy rivalry plus ships sinking by the dozen meant no food or supplies were arriving
<2022-05-02T03:06:43.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: Yeah fair enough 
<2022-05-02T03:07:52.000Z> Paultron: gotta love how the japs got beat back at kalkhin gol and the army heads were like 'USSR too hard, let's go fight someone else instead" and that someone else was USA
<2022-05-02T03:40:08.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: I still feel like they could have just sailed around the Philippines and stole the oil from the dutch
<2022-05-02T03:40:33.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: circumventing the American “I’m not touching you I’m not touching you” strategy 
<2022-05-02T03:40:58.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: cant kick the dog until it bites if it steals from the dutch
<2022-05-02T03:42:34.000Z> Paultron: FDR would have never let it sitthe US would have got the excuse it needed at some point
<2022-05-02T03:42:54.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: I mean
<2022-05-02T03:43:06.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: you can at least try not to play his gamr
<2022-05-02T03:43:12.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: *game
<2022-05-02T03:44:07.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: Those army guys had it rough in the pacific
<2022-05-02T03:44:23.000Z> Ghislaine@comfyboy.club: end up eating each other 
<2022-05-02T03:59:29.000Z> Paultron: entire thing was terrible, and the leadership made seemingly every mistake possibleand now i can't even get a Type 38 at decent prices since macarthur dumped them into the sea
