It looks very hypocritical, especially to peoples in asia, when the british are on board with this. Roosevelt is apparently open to the idea of a meeting with the japanese prime minister but his advisers kind of shut it down. The japanese have just rejected the latest diplomatic proposals, and the advisers salus. And those need to be clarified before we meet now,. how long can you put this off when the fleets burn in 400 tons of fuel an hour, right? So this becomes another one of the problems. It's a great era to look at if you are a fan of diplomatic history, the tit for tat things that go on."
