I read that we stopped supplying steel to Japan which caused them to attack us.

Caused? No. It was one of the reasons they chose to do so, but that's not the same thing.

And why did we stop selling them steel? Because we didn't approve of them invading China and massacring people.

So if I slap you in the face and you punch me...my slap didn’t cause it? K.

In wartime, when your neutral, you’re supposed to supply all sides or nobody. Who made US protector of the world?

Meanwhile George Bushes grand daddy was funding the Nazis with his bank.

You mean in retrospect? Or was that the prevailing opinion of citizens at the time that had anything to do with trade or total war?
