It’s insane to me that we are taught to see it as a necessary and justified act. Yes, Japan refused to surrender, attacked us first, and their military committed horrific acts on the
Chinese and Koreans.

But, none of that justifies obliterating two cities full of children.
:mindblown:
Breh, are you familiar with the Nanking massacre?:usure:







JP got us beat on the whole war crime game. It was one full week of raping and murdering anything with a pulse irregardless of gender,age,or marital status. I ain’t about to play the oppression olympics but i think what JP did to China(and the rest of Asia) is worse.:manny:

Alot of military leaders at the time were against the dropping of the bombs
A lot like who? :mjlol: Military leaders at the time had a whole campaign for Iwo Jima and we didn't even need that island.

And even if Japan had surrendered, it wouldn't have been all at once. There had been several coup attempts internally too.

If we didn't drop the bomb we would have taken Japan by force and fully occupied it. The Japan of today would not exist.

I just went down the YouTube rabbit hole and saw how powerful the nukes we have today are. Sh*t is absolutely terrifying :picard: The Tsar bomb would take out New York City and the entire northern half of New Jersey :francis:
The nukes we have today are at least 600 times more powerful than the ones dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The Coli ain't gonna like this, but there we're good theories that Japan was going to surrender to Russia than the United States. The bombs were bad, but once the Soviets invaded their island, they knew they couldn't stand a chance as the only Axis Power.

Yep this was some of it as well. The US had already let Russia capture Berlin. They didn't want them to also be the one who toppled Japan first. So America flossed on they ass. Dropped that bomb and dropped another.

Exactly. We were keeping them from getting oil among other things. I learned in high school that if anybody were to ever get in the way of the USA getting it's oil, its an automatic war.
And if Japan had that oil they would've easily steamrolled everyone.

People forget that the Japanese Navy had an entire side of the planet on lockdown - the US didn't even beat them one up. The US won on attrition. They couldn't keep pace with us, that's all it was. If Japan had the resources.... they probably run the table in the Pacific with ease.
