There would have been 50% more US troops killed in an invasion of Japan. Two nukes were a god send.

>weebs will defend this

One nuke was too many. Two nukes were not enough.

>>131728756
Whatever. Japan didn't surrender until the Soviet Union declared war on them. Makes you wonder if the nukes were a matter of political dominance rather than winning the war. We still had enough bombing material to keep at it.

Doesn't everyone's toilet look like that after eating Panda Express?

Japan didn't surrender until the Soviets declared war on them.

>muh utilitarian morality

So atrocities are fine if they cost fewer lives in the long term? This is the kind of collectivist thinking that communism relies on.

>>131728756

And?

Better we put the icing on the cake after the firebombing than let the Russians rape and pillage their way through the north, while losing a million going mile by mile through the south.

>>131728756

Mess with the bull, you get the horns, OP.>>131729484

>>131729609
Japan offered to surrender before the bombings but we denied their request

'Defending' implies fault, which there isn't

>>131728756
Vaping is for fags.

>>131729936
Conditional surrender is not surrender. The US does not negotiate with terrorists.

Read that you uneducated cunt. Come back and tell me if nuking them rather then allowing their government to sacrifice millions of civilians in stupid last effort charges, children with grenades, and mass levies to hold off a victory long since guaranteed is a good fucking idea?

IT FUCKING SAVED LIVES. It fucking saved Japanese lives. Millions of them.

Go fuck yourself.

>>131729946
The US killed thousands of innocent civilians who had nothing to do with the war >>131729539

The condition was that they wanted to keep their emperor. We let them
Keep the emperor in the end anyway, he just had to make a speech that he wasn't god.

Unit 731.
Logs.
Millions of potential "logs" in the US.

Yes, I would have nuked Japan with 10,000 nukes and turned their island into a radioactive theme park.

>>131730242
"We let them" is the key. The makeup of postwar Asia was unimportant, we just needed to make sure that it was imposed on them.

>>131730138
Nobody is innocent in a war.

>>131730242
they wanted to keep their Emperor in power, we didn't

Also...God damn the Japs for eternity for Pearl Harbor.
I will never forgive them.

>>131728756
That is fucking beautiful.

>>131730456
I'm in agreement with you I just think it's an entertaining lesser known fact.

I think it's pretty funny that MacArthur got in trouble for doing too good of a job rebuilding Japan.

My Great Uncle, who survived the siege of Corregidor, the Bataan Death March, and the Hell Ships, witnessed the Nagasaki Blast, while working Slave labor as a Japanese Prisoner of War.

Yore God Damned Right, I'll defend that OP

Im split - On one hand I think it was excessive
On the other hand it ended WWII in short time

>>131730567
Bataan Death March

>>131728756
Nigga they literally started it

>>131730260
they didn't
japan lost more people per city in conventional bombings

>>131730567
you cut off their oil supply when they were busy fighting off chinese communists, you ruined everything

>>131728756
I met the guy who filmed this blast in the chase plane. I interviewed him for our local news in 1982 NC.

imperialist japs were barely human, it was a mercy killing.

>>131728756
I cant because 2 nukes was far too few.

>>131731132
oldfag anon, did he say he enjoyed contriburing to incerating gooks?

>>131730685
Didn't MacArthur also want to nuke the fuck out of Korea or am I mistaken?

>>131731133
I dont have a God Damned ounce of sympathy for them.

>>131731123
>fighting the Chinese communists
The Kuomintang lost the civil war because the commies fucked off into the mountains during ww2. Japan's invasion was the best thing that ever happened to Mao.

>>131728756

They deserved it imo

>>131728756
If we didn't nuke those japs there would be no anime today
The whole world aught to show gratitude to America

>>131731303
He wanted to nuke the Chinese who were coming across the border to help the norks. Truman didn't want to admit that China was in the war because that would get the USSR involved, and the UN had no way to stop the red army from steamrolling Europe.

They gave him a handful of rice to eat per day for 3.5 years, and any roach, cricket, bug, rat or snake he could get his hands on. He carried injuries with him the rest of his life. He lived until he was 92. He was a great man. Married a Red Cross nurse he met on a hospital ship. I shudder & get angry at the things they did to him. It never was reported. Never. The things I know were barely from him, because he didn't like to talk about it. but from survivor books sold at reunions, printed by private publishing houses. He saw the blast from over the mountain. They did not hear it. But as big as it was, they knew something was up. Two days later, all guards deserted the camp. He & his fellow men were so malnourished they couldn't leave. Soon they started hearing American planes, so they painted POW on camp roofs. Two weeks later, they were rescued. There were over 120 POW camps in Japan.

>>131731303
Yes. And McArthur abandoned my uncle on Corregidor.

>>131728756
Pearl Harbor.

>>131728756
Yes. And we'd do it again
Should have made more and nukes the Germans Russians and swedes too.
