I mean the millions of people who sit idly by while a tiny minority elite abuse them and act violently towards other countries. It is not other countries' problem when engaged in total war against these people that they allowed themselves to be subjugated.

Revisionist history says we “had to” drop the bombs to break Japan, but they were already broken and negotiating surrender. The bombs were dropped to signal to the Soviets what we had.

The Emperor surrendered because he didn't want to see his people suffer anymore and did not believe in going down in a blaze of glory like his army officers did. Tokyo was already a steaming pile of rubble. Literally the only part of the city left standing by August 1945 was the Imperial Palace and that was deliberate.

There’s a film series called “Men Behind The Sun”

Watch that or just simply research what it’s about, then anyone can come tell me how much they feel sorry for the Japanese

You feel sorry for the women and children.

But what they did to POWs and in China etc. they deserved to have hell rained down.
