Falcon jur, Please in no way think that im trying to imply that you said it couldnt happen, As for the two scenarios about the tax payers money. I believe thoe there is a third option.

In either scenario either the Axis are winning or losing, But with my argument, The japanese have secured there defensive line, But that does not help germany at all, They would still be suffering a slow defeat, Even thoe making the Allies pay for it dearly, Non the less they would be losing. While Japan is fighting off attemp after attemp by the Allies.

And yes i agree the US would be un-able to act unilaterally due to there alliances, How ever, It may take a few more years but how long do you really think it would take the entire allied force.. Not even near the size of the US navy to relise they are just throwing away lives.

The only way they could really affect Japan is via Russia, Which wouldnt be until 1945.


Just a small thought, With the Japanese defensive line set up, Whats the possibility of them sending out ships to either the Indian, Southern Atlantic, or into the Southern pacific Oceans.

Indian Ocean - Able to harras allied supply ships and access the Southern Atlantic and its not in direct danger via US navy

Southern pacific - Is in direct danger to the US navy, But if able to make it there un detected you should be fine, But you just got to get past alot of Island groups first

Southern Atlantic - Is in danger from US and UK navys, How ever can do alot of harm with combined Italian/German navys operating towards same goals. Can be accessed via either the Indian or Southern pacific. Also allows access to Northern Atlantic.

I would rather choose the Indian Ocean and into the Atlantic from there, Less danger from the US navy and gives greater halp to there Axis allies, By cutting off/Harrasing the supply route for the Allies in NA they effectively give the Germans/Italians the upper hand, or at the least a level playing field, And i dont see the allies winning on a level playing field.
