More imperialists finding this thread

It seems more imperialist finding this thread

"Imperial" Japanese Navy

I mean...I guess the US was "in the right" for it since Japan seemed to have no plans to surrender even though Hitler and Mussolini were both dead and the Nazis and Italy already surrendered about 3-5 months prior. Like I'm sure the Allies advised Japan to call it quits since the Axis gave up, but Japan continued to try to take over the rest of Asia and the Pacific.

Really dropping the atomic bomb was just a way for America to finally test out their fancy new weapon, and Japan not surrendering was their excuse to break it out. The first bomb was to test it out. The second bomb was just a real d***headed power flex, because Japan was actually ready to officially surrender after the devastation of the first atomic bomb drop.

To reel all this in though. Was America wrong for the atomic bombs in WWII? For the first drop you can make a case to defend the decision. For the second drop they were absolutely wrong for it and that s*** was wild excessive.

The thing is they didn’t even surrender after the 1st bomb the Japanese war cabinet insisted that the us didn’t have the ability to produce more weapons of that magnitude, they dropped 2 to give the impression that they could continue until surrender

Bro they got a f***ing nuke dropped on them and still didn't want to surrender. Saying it wasn't necessary is being very naïve.

I guess it was to my understanding that it was Japanese citizens who were ready for their government/military to call it quits after that first bomb. From what I've watched from Hiroshima documentaries at least. S***, many Japanese citizens were done with it when news of Mussolini's death broke.

Like there was some decree/order from the Japanese government that came around the time of Hitler's death saying that regular citizens were expected to fight for Japan and the countries they invaded, including the women and children. From war docs, I remember the general reaction of Japanese citizens was something similar to: because most of them assumed the war was pretty much over since the main leader of the Axis was dead and Italy folded already.

yes they did.. as in total war.

I ain't even know some Americans were in support of this.

Yall some disgusting f***s

Yeah but pretty much everybody was out of pocket in WW2

Dropping a nuke on innocent people is never justifiable but that tweet doesn't acknowledge the fact Japan had a chance to surrender prior and Japan was already an imperial force. If you read up on Japan's military mentality during that era theres untouched conversations on what they were about acheive since souch focus were on the nazis

I mean s*** idk

Don’t think it was necessary but I mean it was a time where they started making nuclear weapons so US put their d*** on the table lmao

War in general isn’t necessary imo

Yes but the japanese are also wrong for their human experiments, torturing & rapes

Had the US lost WWI, the president and generals would rightly have been tried as war criminals. They eviscerated non-combatants with nuclear weapons, and killed even more with lengthy fire bombing campaigns.

My god you are simply sadistic

do americans need a wake-up call for what the military does abroad?

I have a feeling he’s willfully ignorant about that

Yes and no. Yes because without doing it we would’ve never had the utter trash and cultural parasite that is anime. No because we should’ve dropped more once we started so that anime would’ve never existed

Was dropping 2 nukes on civilian populated areas unethical even in a time of war? Yes

Was it at the time the best thing to do? Who knows

Did the outcome afterwards justify the means? Idk things seem alright now
