US President Franklin D. Roosevelt, wearing a black armband, signs the Declaration of War on Japan on Dec. 8 1941, marking the entry of the US into the Second World War. [1022 X 740]
There’s a spectrum of emotions represented behind him. I’m surprised to see that glee is well represented.

Our boy Henry Wallace looking properly shook. Sucks they snatched his VP nod and gave it to Truman. We might have dropped the bombs OUTSIDE the cities. Japan was fucked anyway, they reallllly didn’t want the Russians on their home turf, and they were right. We might have been a little more chill about The soviets too
