But you got to understand... during world war II, people were desperate.

she couldnt understand why the americans stopped at two, I tried to explain that Japan by that point had surrendered .. her response ? "So?"

no, @ro, I'm British

I like how it shows there were rapes after ww2 by American soldiers. pretty funny, Japan.

Oh alright

Yeah well I had the British

Posh fucks think they’re better than the rest of us

What we might find terrible today... would be the only choice they had back then. Basically they had no choice... either face 100's of thousands of troops dying to invade Japan or drop two nukes.

aye well us brits didnt really behave well either

The Japanese don't give up easily.

But I’ll sell them bombs

my Laotian mother loves america, hates illegal immigration, and voted conservative

So I don't blame Japanese for peril harbor or its government.

Peril

That was in the past, don't hold onto the past.

We were talking about first generations last night

It only brings more war and death.

My friend is 2nd generation and he doesn’t have much of any complaints

flip side to american and british behaviour, once you surrender we'll bust balls to help you and feed you afterwards

Let grudges go and try to form new relationships.

both the berlin airlift and the massive amounts of food flown into japan immediately after the surrender

^

And those people were seriously fucked

I honestly think there would be more casualties for Japan and United States if the bombs were not dropped.

Italy wasn’t as hard, but it was something

The war would go on for a long time...

Many lives lost.

The dragon realms discord is based

Civilians deaths.

Towns raized.

indeed. japan was down to 1500 cals per person by the time the nukes were dropped. there would have been starvation that winter had japan not surrendered

So the bombs were kind of a blessing in disguise for both nations.

Ending the war short from letting it drag on.

@Dusty Morgan there wasnt going to be an invasion

Allied policy was blockade and bomb

the dropping of the bombs also changed politics afterwards, wars like WW2 are a thing of the past because the next big shabang has the threat of even larger damage

Stalin’s was go the fuck forward

Exactly... bombs, death... civilians deaths, cities destroyed.

soviet advance on japan might have pushed an invasion. but iwth no external source like that they would have firebombed and starved japan into surrender
