Amos · Answer 1

"without warning" - - this repeated statement gives the speech impact.

FDR's fireside chat repeats the phrase "without warning" to remind the citizens that the Axis powers have been ruthless. He suggests the Axis powers have created a pattern of surprise attacks demonstrating their evil methods. This creates a clear line between the sides and puts the US on a side of morality.
