Why was Japan more afraid of Russia than the USA even after Midway?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 13th, 2026 1:53 PM Author: opaque step-uncle's house prole After Midway, that Siberian oil would have looked mighty tempting. And everyone knew Stalin was pinned down fighting Germany at that time.
So why didn't Japan call a lid on the Pacific war and tell the Kwantung Army to get that oil? |

Date: August 13th, 2026 2:00 PM Author: opaque step-uncle's house prole The Japanese could confirm based on public reporting that Russian units stationed in eastern Russia got pulled away to defend Moscow. This was reported by everyone even before Pearl Harbor got bombed. Yet Japanese leaders thought it was a trap. They were sure Stalin had left a garrison in the east. They thought Stalin was playing mind games on them. They figured America had a big navy but Russia was too high IQ (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5892781&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310907#50065777) |

But that only adds to the mystery. Why was the Japanese army never ordered to fight Russia? It's like raping was the only thing anyone ever told them to do |

Opening a third front against the USSR would have been suicidal. By the way, they faced the Soviets in battle before the war really kicked off in Mongolia and it was a total disaster for the Japanese.

The army favored taking the Soviet far East but after the got their asses kicked, it was a popular opinion and the army lost favor.
Then the army tries a coup https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_26_incident which failed and they never regained respectability. Intel sucked back then too.

Date: August 14th, 2026 6:01 PM Author: opaque step-uncle's house prole 1. that incident involved the Mongolian border, and the USSR's desire to prove to its allies that a defensive pact meant something. Japan wasn't even testing Soviet territory in that conflict. It was a battle of choice by the USSR, fought in order to make a point.
None of those factors were in play in December 1941, because Moscow itself was under siege by Hitler. If that if had been happening in 1939, there's no way Stalin would have committed all those forces to the east.
2. The Japanese had CONFIRMED sightings of Soviet eastern forces fighting in Moscow by December 5, 1941. They KNEW the east was unguarded. Furthermore Yamamoto had told the kang that an assault on US would end in disaster. Yet they still chose to bomb Pearl Harbor on December 7. |
