Climate change is not real

Deal with it libtards
You arn't real
@Flash people killing themselves doesn't make it harder for the us to invade
if anything they were brainwashed and believed the Japanese propoganda that the us was gonna like, rape them and their children
What does how hard it would be for the us to invade have to do with this? We know a U.S invasion would have costed 2 million lives at least
Who is that?
and at the most the nukes killed 135k people
135k civilians
and once again
AND
without taking into significant account the atomic bombing
of nagasaki at the very least
"I consider the Joint Proclamation a rehash of the Declaration at the Cairo Conference. As for the Government, it does not attach any important value to it at all. The only thing to do is just kill it with silence .We will do nothing but press on to the bitter end to bring about a successful completion of the war."
-Kantarō Suzuki, prime minister of Japan, July 28, 1945
he said this a week before the nuking of Hiroshima
"Our decision to seek a way out of this war, was made in early June before any atomic bomb had been dropped and Russia had not entered the war. It was already our decision."
-Koichi Kido, Japan's Lord Privy Seal and a close advisor to the Emperor
They should have bloody said they were discussing surrender then
"America's leaders understood Japan's desperate position: the Japanese were willing to end the war on any terms, as long as the Emperor was not molested. If the US leadership had not insisted on unconditional surrender -- that is, if they had made clear a willingness to permit the Emperor to remain in place -- the Japanese very likely would have surrendered immediately, thus saving many thousands of lives.
The sad irony is that, as it actually turned out, the American leaders decided anyway to retain the Emperor as a symbol of authority and continuity. They realized, correctly, that Hirohito was useful as a figurehead prop for their own occupation authority in postwar Japan."

they did multiple times, but wanted surrender where they kept the emporor
🆙 | **viridian leveled up!**
The united states declined this until the end
If they had simply allowed complete surrender without molestation of the emperor, they would save the "bajillion american lives" and not have to intentionally kill 200k civilians
they also approached russia multiple times
The emporer was running a dictatorship, so I'm not sure how we could have let him stay without him re-building japan back into a war machine.
The atomic bomb was used at a time when Japan's navy was sunk, her air force virtually destroyed, her homeland surrounded, and her supplies cut off,
If you go into a country that is doing terrible things and don't remove the people who authorized those things then what was the point?
the emporer is a token figure
wh
Then what would letting them keep the emporer mean lol
