the very heart of dishonour
Well the nukes were done during a time of war when everyone was afraid of the ramifications of using them.
Not sure I would call it dishonour, but they were definitely operating based on different rules of engagement.
The nukes were, at the time, feared for their might. People didn't understand fallout yet.
declaring a war with a surprise attack is dishonorable af
Not by Asian standards.
also the fallout wasnt that big a deal
the cities still exist and are populous
there were just a couple thousand post bombing casualties from rad poisoning
The fallout is why we rebuilt everything. When they dropped the things, they thought they were just blowing people up so they would stop fighting to the last.
They didn't expect the kind of deaths a lot of people got.
@Firefairy asians dont know what honour is
fallout of nukes is a lot less severe than that of say fission reactors
and rebuilding stuff doesnt make the fallout go away
its still there
They have whole systems defining honour. It's just a version that seems weird to anyone not raised in it. Works the same the other way around.
until it all decays
bushido isnt about honour tbh
Yeah, but the rebuilding was a guilt thing.
its like confucianism
justifying authoritarian governments
cuz asians dont have honour lul
and thats the closest thing they do have to it
Unless you can define honor, I don't know there is much point to this.
You're saying no culture in an entire continent has a concept of honor.
That's a pretty strong claim.
how about the concept of announcing the challenge before coming and sneak attacking someone hmmm?
That's a tenet of Western Honor.
How about the concept of never surrendering?
or betraying a major trading partner with a full invasion with no warning
they did surrender didn't they

Not often.
And not until we bombed two cities off the map with an equal number of bombs.
That was the whole reason we used the nukes.
no you can clean up fallout, all fallout is is the dispersed fission products of the bomb if you get rid of the contaminated dust and ground and replace it the radiation ceases.
ah but notice
only the bug people japanese surrendered
the ones that couldnt think for themselves
what did hirohito do i wonder?
