@funeralforafang@kivauha@R2Kain I already addressed both of those, the us was at japans doorstep and a land invasion would have costed more lives along with the ussr also planning an invasion from the north, the bombings and subsequent surrender allowed the us to help rebuild there government and economy quick
@funeralforafang@kivauha@R2Kain Your skipping allot of time, the us waged conventional tactics on them and they refused to surrender, what would you have preferred them to do?
@funeralforafang@kivauha@R2Kain It’s a governments job to protect its people so it is also its job not to start wars that jeopardize its population, and Japan being the aggressor in both the Second Sino-Japanese War and americas involvement in ww2 caused those deaths, as well as their culture of win or die
@funeralforafang@kivauha@R2Kain A war crime is defined by the law, the US did not break any international laws of war dropping the bombs, Japan however did with its mass rape, genocide, and human experimentation on the Chinese and Korean, please respond to the points I’m presenting instead of deflecting
@funeralforafang@kivauha@R2Kain I’m not downplaying anything, it was a heavy situation that traded one tragedy for another, it’s war there’s not always a moral option to take, the Japanese killed far more in china and Korea and started a war because the US wouldn’t fuel it
@funeralforafang@kivauha@R2Kain Which part have I been brainwashed about, the Soviet invasion of the north, the daily terror bombing of Japanese cities, or the slogging island hopping of American troops that resulted in kill or be killed mentality of the Japanese?
@funeralforafang@kivauha@R2Kain I mean a swift end to the war that cost millions of Japanese Russian and American lives, and the act that saved them from a two front land invasion of there home island which saved there infrastructure from post war rebuilding
