I guess I could see that argument.
If I understand correctly, 1938/39 is when Japan started getting frisky with Manchuria / Northwest China, to which Chinese immigrants / Chinese heritage Americans on the US west coast demanded action by the US government, which then caused the US to stop selling steel and other industrial goods to Japan, effectively starting a trade war.
I don't think I agree with your conclusion, but I def see the logical basis and how it relates to current world events.
I wish I'm wrong but this administration keeps adding fuel to the fire every damn day.
