Move closer to the japanese mainland-Apex
This phrase appears in Roosevelt's day of infamy speech, made soon after the Pearl Harbor attack by the Japanese. The treachery referred to was Japan's. Even while planes were on their way to bomb the harbor, they were negotiating with the US and in no way indicated they were ready to attack the US.
December 7, 1941 is the date of the surprise attack made by the Japanese on the US fleet in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Several ships were sunk and many people were killed. From the US point of view, "infamy" was an accurate word for what the Japanese did that day.
The main question of debate on the subject of the atomic bomb is whether the attack was necessary. The US already had the Japanese cornered and would have forced a surrender with many fewer civilian deaths.
Much of the Japanese Constitution is based on the US Constitution.
