1.Throughout history, it is the rarest of events when two forces are evenly matched. The usual balance favors evil, oppression and slaughter over liberty and individual rights. I have my theory about why, but that’s for a different forum. Today, facts explaining contemporary events.
First, Franklin Roosevelt was a below average intellect and the same applied to his moral compass. Stalin was far more insightful, never lost sight of world domination- he gave us the United Nations to carry on his work- and, as is true for all Leftists, had no compunctions when it came to slaughter.
2. America had no spy network before WWII, after all, Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin were his idols, and we had to co-opt the Nazi’s Gehlen Group after the war to spy on the Soviets. Stalin had a prodigious spy system in every major nation. This was no problem in America, as FDR welcomed them in. They were particularly effective in Japan.
3. Which brings me to today’s birthday boy :
Richard Sorge, (born October 4, 1895, Baku, Russia [now in Azerbaijan]—died November 7, 1944, Tokyo, Japan), German press correspondent who headed a successful Soviet espionage ring in Tokyo during World War II. Britannica.com
4. In need of natural resources to become the global empire to which they aspired, Japan had it’s eyes on Stalin’s Russia.
Always thinking two moves ahead of everyone else, Stalin knew his ally, Hitler, would attack him for the same natural resources…..so he set his spy network to work to move Japan to attack a different power…..America.
5. Under Stalin's auspices, Sorge worked to direct Japan against America.
And he was successful.
...Richard Sorge was arrested in Tokyo in 1941 by the Japanese police, he had just informed Soviet dictator Josef Stalin that Japan was planning to attack Pearl Harbor. Thus was the culmination of a years-long operation directed by the Soviet Union wherein the ultimate weapon was influence(there's that word again, Joe Biden's favorite).
The Sorge spy ring achieved success in steering Japan away from its previously considered plan to attack the Soviet Union, and instead to turn its fire on another target which turned out to be the United States."

Amongst the myriad twists and turns and subplots of World War II was the amazing efficiency with which Soviet agents in the U.S.O., Japan, and elsewhere around the globe coordinated to steer the imperial Japanese government away from an attack on the Soviet Union – a multi-year effort that...
