Show respect for what they've done for us in the past? I respect those Americans who died in WWII fighting against the common enemy, but USA as a nation? Not a fucking chance. America should withdraw from international politics and quietly go about their internal business, or to put it more bluntly, sit down and stfu.
Yes I'm a cunt, all British people are cunts, especially during winter.
On the contrary, that was arguably the most life-saving action of the entire war.
WW2 was several different wars put together. Nobody talks much about what happened in Africa or Mainland Asia because those were mainly just genocide not involving the nations that wrote the history books. The other fronts were the Western, Eastern, and Pacific. Most of what US and probably Europe learns about is the Western and some bits of the Pacific. The Western was easily the most humane of all fronts. The Eastern and Pacific were quite a bit different. Germans and Soviets thought each other as inferior subhumans, and treated each other as such. The Japanese were similar, but worse, and thought that way about everybody other than themselves. Japan may just be the most nationalistic nation in the world's history, as well as having one of the most rigid superstitious ideologies in Bushido. No race has believed in fighting to the death like the Japanese
And that's what would have happened. A US invasion had projected casualties in eight figures, which is about 10x more than the nukes
US vs Japan was never fair. My guess is the most one-sided war in any modern context, by far. The amount of destruction the mainland endured in carpet bombings is just unheard of. It was a different war; one where the initial aggressors were the weaker ones, but they were a bunch of Samurai who would never ever ever give up. It took the unfathomable "shock and awe" of atomic decimation to bring their heads back to reality. They were willing to sacrifice all their buildings, their lives, their students in kamikazes in a fight to total destruction. My guess is that the bomb made them realize there would be no more fight, and if they kept on course, there would no longer be a Japan
