but the japanese government purposely told their citizens to stay and not worry

because they wanted a higher death count

because they wanted to paint themselves as the victim

the US only targeted those cities because of the military bases and industries there

about 30 or 40% of the deaths were of soldiers

japan never had any trails like germany

well

they had a few

but alot of their war criminals were exonerated

and are seen as heros to their country

like tojo

well i forgot to add they surrendered cause russia joined too lol

there are movies about his court case completely humanizing and victimizing him

well that too

if the US didn't nuke them

millions would have died

so idk

the nukes ended the war

i wouldn't say that is their only punishment or punishment enough

well it was the nukes and plenty of other factors

yeah of course

but like

they should have had more trails like germany did

and their war criminals should have been punished or executed

but that never happened

the emperor remained emperor

Oh

and those war criminals are honored and commemorated to this day

To answer your question

well it all comes down to asia being over looked as a whole because in the past League of Nations didnt take asian nations more seriourly

I do not believe in the use of nuclear weapons

well

neither do i in most cases

but i mean like

look at what japan did

and look at the options the us had

Even against someone like japan

i mean

if we hadn't had nuked them

I would have rather accepted a naval blockade
