They should have been wise enough to think before they entered alliances as to what the alliance will result in. That is why we are non-aligned, and at least at peace with two powers. We are trying to come to an understanding with the third power with talks.So people shouldn't enter into security alliances because it might piss off the people they're trying to protect themselves from. According to you they should have consulted Putin, the very person most likely to threaten their freedom and security. Not so brilliant, you know. That means the US should have consulted Hitler and Tojo before entering WW2 because it had the possibility of impacting US security. Brilliant.
I have not studied the reasons why US joined WW2. First thing, it is 83 years since then. Not relevant now.
"However, striking south into British Malaya and the Dutch East Indies would almost certainly provoke an armed U.S response. To blunt that response, Japan decided to attack the U.S Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, hoping that the U.S would negotiate peace."

Why did Japan attack Pearl Harbor?
Japan attacked the U.S Pacific Fleet on the 7th of December 1941, but what led to that decision? Why did the Japanese attack the USA? - The answer is oil. In this episode of IWM Stories, Adrian Kerrison looks at why the Japanese decided to attack Pearl Harbor.
Japan made a wrong presumption. They should have rather struck British Malay and the Dutch East Indies, and see if US joined the war. But they forced US to join war.
