Germany could have, and should have done more to help their Japanese

Yes.

Germany would have done better to wash their hands of Japan entirely, desu.

You mean the opposite, the Japanese should have made deals with the KMT and waited to coordinate with Barbarossa.

This. Fighting Britain, China, and the Soviet Union at the same time was already ambitious, adding America to that mix was suicidal.

>Japan invading Siberia
What would that accomplish? There's nothing to capture, and there's always more land to retreat to. You can't capture all of Russia, and the manufacturing output of Germany and Japan combined still don't come close to matching what the United States and Soviets were producing.

Japan should not have attacked America.

They could have used all that amphibious bullshit to go coast hopping all the way to India.

Keep pissing off Britain until the USA declared war on them, if they even would.

He means have Japan take the "Northern plan" and ignore China/SEA, in favor of seizing Soviet Siberia.

Japan would then not take actions that would drag the US into war against Japan.

germany should have left the gooks banzai their way to suicide alone

Pearl Harbor was a Hoax.

Staged by Americans so they would have a noble reason to enter the war.

4D Chess and Americans play it perfectly.

Actually, what Germany should have done was NOT declare war on the U.S, thereby permanently fucking itself into oblivion.

Actually, what Germany should have done after 1935 was just slowly rebuild their economy without starting an unwinnable war.

It would pin down some Soviet troops making it easier for the Germans on the Eastern Front.

One of the main reasons the Germans were unable to capture Moscow in 1941 is because the Soviets were able to pull elite reinforcements from the Japanese border after signing a non aggression treaty with Japan.

No, it's the opposite. The Japs should have invaded the USSR instead of pissing off America
