DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 7 months agoWhat do you think the 20 million victims of Imperial Japan were?
Who do you think invented the concept of total war?
Who do you think initially agreed to abide by the Geneva Conventions and then immediately betrayed them?
How many civilians do you think would have died in a ground invasion?
Don’t want to get your people bombed, don’t start bombing people. You want feel sad for the loss of people trapped by environmental circumstance in more than one way, knock yourself out, but their blood was on Hirohito and his government’s hands the moment their dumbasses decided to invade their “subhuman” neighbors.

So they deserved it, because their government did terrible things.
You understand that they lived under immense propaganda. Right? They deserved it just as much as the people of East Asia deserved the atrocities committed against them by the Japanese Imperial military.
Would you support nuking Moscow, Jerusalem, or DC? Why not?

Well, the most serious reason not to use any nukes today is because more than one army has them, so they can’t be used in a finite way.
