WWII Speculations

I'll talk about somethings that I have thought about before, all relating to the outcomes of World War II.
1. Would the US have joined the allied forces even if Japan hadn't attacked Pearl Harbor?
I'm not quite sure about this question, and I think the question is yes. I've heard a theory that said FDR purposefully had Pearl Harbor open for attack. He wanted to go to war, but he needed a reason. Pearl Harbor was a good reason, as the vote to declare war was unanimous. It seemed like a coincident that all the aircraft carriers that were normally stationed in Pearl Harbor weren't there. Either it was incredible luck on the US' part, or it was planned. Even if Pearl Harbor never got attacked, the US would still eventually go to war.
2. What would've happened in the Axis force happened to win?
This may be very unlikely, but I'm just thinking. This means that the entire world was under the power of Germany, Italy, and Japan. There would probably be disputes about the land that they receive. What would they do with prisoners of war? South America and most of Africa weren't part of the war. Hitler supported globalism. It would be very unlikely that he would write a treaty or negotiate peace with these continents that pose no threat to him. Those two would soon come under the rule of the Axis powers. I'm not quite sure what the Axis forces would to to the American citizens, but I know that the Japanese would probably not treat the Chinese well, considering what they did in North-east China. Switzerland traded with Nazi Germany during WWII, so Hitler would probably keep it that way. It would be unwise to cease trade with a country and spend money and troops to invade it. Germany would run the world as a dictatorship with Italy and Japan. Italy is the weakest of the three so it would be natural if they weren't given that much power. I'm not sure what would happen between Japan and Hitler. Perhaps they start another war between themselves, or they somehow negotiate peacefully and coexist peacefully.
Well that's it for the speculations.
Have a great day.

    True, I guess one reason they failed was because they showed no leniency towards the people they conquer, leaving them no choice but to fight.

Being Short

Being short sucks doesn't it? Every time you talk to your peers you have to look up. It hurts the neck. Doesn't it suck walking through a bunch of people and only seeing the back of the person in front of you, not what's up ahead?  Don't you hate it when you really like to play basketball but you're short, making it so that you can't get some rebounds or shoot some shots that you could make if you were taller? You have to take more effort on getting space between you and the defender when you could just shoot the ball from wherever if you were taller.  Being tall gives you more confidence. You can appear more attractive. By social norms, the boyfriend should be taller than the girlfriend. That kind of sucks, because when you're short there are very few that are shorter than you. That's my rant! I am Albert Einstein.

Muscles and Working Out

I am seriously at a lack of ideas for blog-writing. So today, I'll talk about something I have only started doing, working out. I gotta say, working out consistently has been one of my long-time goals. I remember last summer I started working out everyday, but that only lasted for 11 days. It was interrupted because I had to go to a camp. After that, I never found the determination to start working out. I would suddenly work out one day but those days only came once a month, maybe even less. One of these days happened during quarantine. But it wasn't like the others. I kept working out. I don't know why I kept a routine on during quarantine but not during any other time. Perhaps it was because online school gave me a lot more time to do things I wanted to do. Either way, I started working out. I adjusted my work out based on things that I saw on youtube. For the first month I only focused on upper body. Only now am I starting to do lower body. Of course during this time...

Current Stuff

Some interesting stuff has happened recently. Mainly one. There's a teen in Kenosha, Wisconsin. More accurately, he drove to Kenosha Wisconsin, then proceeded to shoot and kill two BLM protesters. Here's what happened, based on what I know. He drove over from his house with an assault rifle. He was treated as a friend by police and was given water, probably because he was one of the few who actually supported them there. They saw him with an assault rifle. He then killed two people. The police of course heard this, but didn't act on it. He then walked back into his car and drove home. Now he's facing charges and a ton of backlash. I know this will also impact his college. What I just don't know is how people are supporting someone like this. His name is Kyle Rittenhouse. He wasn't even defending himself. He doesn't live there. He drove in from his own house to  Kenosha and shot two people. Tucker Carlson and Steven Crowder have actively defended him. Carl...
