It would require such a provocation that we would actually hate them as much as we hated Japan.
Impossible.
we are not a united states, but are mishmash of self-serving tribes and individuals all looking out for our own interests. Our nation is bankrupt yet the lines keep on growing on people looting the corpse. We have Communists and Progressives who have taken the next generation and converted them all into America and freedom hating myrmidons of the Global State.
There is no definable "American Way", therefore there is no foundation of morality, principles or ideology that a significant number of people can coalesce on to serve as some sort of front against any enemy.
For crying out loud, we as a nation can't even decide on whether we should fight Libya or even support Israel.
“we are not a united states, but are mishmash of self-serving tribes and individuals all looking out for our own interests.”
On the left, you are correct.
Here’s a broader perspective:
We were also divided during the American Revolution. And, we were divided prior to WWII.
But actually on the right, you are largely correct. We have RINOs, closet RINOs, and confused conservatives who work for RINOs.
