Any military operation that has been expected for months usually fails because the opponent has had plenty of time to plan a defence. Most successful operations are surprise operations, but not all surprise attacks work against a prepared opponent.

Expected attacks can work if there's overwhelming force. An example is #DesertStorm.
Example of successful surprise operations: #PearlHarbor, The #Incheon Landings in the #KoreanWar, #OperationUranus at #Stalingrad in October 1942 that encircled the #German #SixthArmy.

An example of a failed attack because there was no surprise in it was #OperationCitadel at the #BattleofKursk in June 1943. The expected line of attack was obvious to everyone because of the disposition of troops.

Denkt man an Steven Spielberg und »#Kriegsfilme«, so hat man zweifellos »Saving Private Ryan« vor Augen. Am Anfang seiner Karriere drehte er jedoch einen ganz anderen Streifen, der von der Kritik verrissen wurde: die Kriegskomödie »1941«. (1/5) (PF)

Der Film, in dem u.a. John Belushi und Dan Aykroyd mitwirkten, spielt in Los Angeles kurz nach dem Angriff auf #PearlHarbor und behandelt die damit verbundene Kriegspsychose bzw. -panik. Das Auftauchen eines japanischen U-Boots vor der Küste 2/5
sorgt für eine Orgie der Zerstörung. Verursacht wird die Farce jedoch durch das US-amerikanische Militär und die Bevölkerung selbst, nicht durch die Japaner. So wird u.a. durch ein sich näherndes, eigenes Flugzeug Alarm ausgelöst, da der Pilot einer Passagierin »nachstellt«. 3/5
80 years ago today, the #DoolittleRaiders took revenge for the #PearlHarbor attack.

Standing ovation from US lawmakers as @ZelenskyyUa appears onscreen
"I'm proud to greet you from #Ukraine, from our capital city of #Kyiv" per @ZelenskyyUa through a translator
"We have not even thought about it [giving up], not even for a second"

For years before #PearlHarbor, Jewish people and their allies in the Los Angeles area who had formed a clandestine spy network to keep an eye on Nazi activity in the USA had been warning about a planned large-scale attack in the Pacific:

Les Samoa Américaines, c’est un archipel de 5 îles situé dans l'océan Pacifique Sud.
La superficie totale de ses terres est de 199 Km2 et compte env. 46 000 habitants.
Sa capitale est Pago Pago.

Quand #Trump évoque #PearlHarbor ou le 9/11, attaques d'1 puissance étrangère ou d'1 réseau terroriste pour les comparer à 1 épidémie, le #coronavirus, ça n'a guère de sens. Quand il ajoute "Ca n'aurait jamais dû arriver", on comprend mieux la cible de la comparaison...#Chine

2) Cette nouvelle saillie de #Trump, ajoutant à la fin du passage que la #Chine aurait dû contrôler le #coronavirus, souligne combien pouvoir attribuer la responsabilité de l'épidémie au rival géostratégique majeur est vital pour son récit #compol avant l'élection de novembre...
3)...et 1 enjeu crucial des prochaines semaines est de savoir si le renseignement US,remis sous la férule de #Trump avec la nomination de Grenell, produira les preuves voulues contre la #Chine sous 1 pression politique déjà ressentie par certains analystes.nytimes.com/2020/04/30/us/…
