Sanctions are NOT an act of war. There has NEVER, in the history of the world been an actual war between two liberal democracies - sanctions are very effective in these situations, so....there goes that part of the theory.
Sanctions are a means of avoiding an actual war, they are an alternate form of leverage.
But to your point, if it was Roosevelt's desire to dupe the Americans and he was that clever, well, he wasn't very smart to just let them take out a bunch of assets required to fight the war before he even went to war. But then again, I don't think he was that clever anyway looking at his other actions, some of which we are still paying for today.
There are many different types of warfare, conventional, covert, economic, cultural, moral, digital/hacking, each with potential consequences.
Sanctions are a serious type of warfare, perhaps just a level under a direct attack as it potentially deprives a nation of resources necessary to maintain itself and it can directly effect a nation where thousands and potentially millions of people will suffer and die. Quick example I can think of are Iraq sanctions, oxygen tanks were banned to export to Iraq directly effecting hospitals and directly causing the deaths of many medical patients including elderly, children and babies along with crippling the economy causing widespread malnutrition along with other things that have consequences of intense hatred towards the oppressors.
Pearl Harbor was a small price to pay to take the country completely out of the depression and get the national war machine crunching out in full drive around the clock. I dont think Roosevelt was as clever as those investors advising him.
And just like today, with many Americans voting for an evil, racist, child-sniffing baby killer for president, Americans include a large group of stupid people. You have made an excellent case that staying out of wars and not imposing sanctions sooner and more aggressively, was a huge mistake on the Americans part. Not getting involved sooner was a huge mistake. And don't fool yourself if you think that Hitler was a singular case. There are plenty of other bad actors out there...and we either learn to get involved sooner before we end up trying to fight our way onto a beach, or we repeat it. And the average American barely remembers 9/11 or H1N1 - and will vote to repeat it. I am not going to take that side.
As far as 9/11, I will take a look as I said....but I am somewhat doubtful. The statements they have on their site's front page are not statements I would allow into the light if I was trying to convince a critical mind.
You do, also, remember that there was a bomb set off in a terrorist attack in the trade center years before, so if it was an inside job and they were going to take it out with explosives...there would be no need for them to fly a plane into the building too. They could have just as easily planted the bombs and blamed Osama.
All I can say is during WWII they said never again, and now China turned a million+ Uyghurs into concentration camps and instead of throwing them in ovens the CCP decided its better to make money off selling their organs.
And of course, Hitler wasnt a singular case but lets work with Stalin who murdered 50 million of his own people and then prop Mao Tse Tung into power just because they were pissed of at Chiang-Kai Shek leading to the deaths of up to 100 million Chinese civilians only to shake hands with Mao in the early 70s and hug it out with the CCP you really think you or anybody can convince me to buy all the bullcrap, RROOOFFLLLLL......
Yeah sure, we see a thread drop love bombs on 2 million civilians just because we dont like a guy and prevent a holocaust by creating a holocaust.....its no logical sense and the war mongers keep play boy cries wolf.
Im with the Founding Fathers, no foreign entanglements and that is not negotiable. America is on the verge of collapse and Im out to restore the Republic.

Yes I do know, my sister was in a building across the street when that happened in '93. She saw bodies on the ground on the street and walked right across into the WTC building and took a still open subway home back to brooklyn. She till this day does not recall calling me that day as I was wondering why the NYC channels on TV were blacked out and freaking out telling me what happened.
We can get into more hypotheticals of why they did or didnt do things in certain ways its fun but what they did worked. '93 was an absolute inside job but it failed. But sure...years later the hijacker's passport somehow flew out of his pocket, through the fireball and landed in decent condition on top of the rubble but somehow both the indestructable black boxes completely vaporized that day even though they were able to identify fragments of fingernails of some of the victims.
But yes all 3 buildings had bombs, so if you thought they needed to plant bombs that was well taken care of and most clearly evident in building 7 when Barry Jennings NYC's building coordinator was saved hiding in Rudy's bunker as said bombs were going off inside the building, clearly not boiler explosions and as he left before its controlled demolition he was crawling over dead bodies during the escape. Another note, he was to testify, got scared in court changed his story and then all the sudden died after coming out again.
Another true story, my sisters Isreali high school teacher in the late 80s (possibly '90) warned her and her whole class not to work in lower manhatten because they are going to blow the world trade center up. I think this was coincidental but there were people in the city that thought the time was to come....anyways nothing to do with proof just felt like sharing that.
Not proofreading this my wife is bugging me so if it sounds messy well it is what it is lol!
Here is another site I used to check out years ago, looks like it changed but if you scroll down on the Firefighters for 9/11 truth website they have their own compilation of materials. You have to click on "posts" and scroll down a bit to investigative reference materials.
