Just War Theory, Pearl Harbor Provocation Debate

The concept of "Just War Theory" and the "supreme crime" of unprovoked aggression are explored in the context of international law. The hosts pivot to a historical debate regarding the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, arguing that the United States provoked Japan through trade wars and oil embargos. They mention the Pacific War Museum in Fredericksburg and the strategic movement of U.S. aircraft carriers prior to the attack.
