Even the Japanese, famous for stupid military projects too, took one look at Hitlers plan and were like "Nope!" Germany just didnt remotely have the logistical capabilities to defeat the soviet union if they managed to put up half a fight, and they put up WAY more than half a fight.
Something fucking hilarious that is glossed over about the pacific war was that japans entire strategy to “defeating” America was capturing Hawaii and holding it for ransom in order to get americas colony islands on the pacific.
They literally knew they couldn’t compete with the U.S. but basically thought they would just roll over
LOL! I didnt know that was the official strategy! Jesus what Kind of morons would think you can take on the British, French, American, and Dutch empires while also being in a world historic bloody grinding land war in China and be just like "Maybe we could do a swapsies!"
The Japanese could never, ever in a million years have invaded Hawaii, much less taken it. They simply did not have enough ships to transport that many troops and their supplies. Moreover the islands were swarming with American soldiers, pissed off and ready to bayonet anyone who didn't have round eyes. It simply couldn't have happened.

Essentially the army kept acting unilaterally and declaring wars they couldn't win. Leaving the empire with no coherent goal
