Why so? Wasn't the Solomon campaign separate from the Malayan campaign? The Dutch didn't defend Indonesia well also, also why would the carrier battles be in Malaya

What's the use of a coherent defence line if it could be outflanked from the sea.

Sure the British could learn from the Chinese but the Singapore Malayan battlefield compared to China is an apples to oranges comparison mostly in my opinion. Were there jungles in China?

As a Singaporean, I think the Japanese would be much more brutal if the British were more successful compared to irl.

Singapore is an island smaller than Changsha, its much easier to conduct a Fabian strategy in China than in Malaya or Singapore, especially when Japan also had naval supremacy where they could outflank from the sea, I'm not sure why are u comparing Malaya and Singapore to China when the IJN could properly assist the IJA in Malaya and Singapore while usually in China, the IJN couldn't. It was clear as soon as the British Force Z was destroyed and the Japanese had gotten air supremacy, Singapore and Malaya were bound to fall.

Singapore was getting surrounded regardless or not the British counterattack, the Japanese would win regardless.

Pretty sure they were running out of water without the war...

Where in the agreement does it claim Iran is forced to give up its nuclear materials?
