Yes we did. Who cares? Did it end the war?

Ok? Not sure what reaction you’re looking for there, chief.

Yep, there was no need to drop it other than as a show of force to Russia. Japan didn’t even surrender as a result of the bombs, it surrendered to the US after Russia invaded to avoid succumbing to Soviet rule.

Not to mention the fact that in the lead up to Hiroshima, the US intentionally gave peace terms it knew Japan could never accept.

Did we target them by dropping leaflets over the city telling everyone to evacuate the city?

I think Japan should be thanking us for ending their military dictatorship. Ask the Chinese about what they think of Japan. They are the reason China is run by the CCP. Japan should carry more water in the current world stage but they can't trust the idiots in charge right now.

Estimated Civilian casualties in WWII:
Germany 3,810,000
Japan 360,000


USSR 7,700,000
China (from 1937 on) 10,000,000
Great Britain + Commonwealth 60,000
France 360,000


Go find something else to hate America about but this can't be it.

At the Casablanca Conference in January 1943, Roosevelt for the first time said they would accept noting less than unconditional surrender from Germany, Japan, and Italy. That stance was reiterated by Truman at the Potsdam Conference in July 1945. Italy unconditionally surrendered to the Allies in September 1943 and Germany followed suit in May 1945. Japan continued to fight after the Casablanca and Potsdam Declarations of 1943 and 1945.

An attack on a military target.


Or waging a war of aggression.

Which was one of the charges at Nuremberg.

frick Japan. They were savages, worse than anything Hitler tried to pull.

If any of you had the opportunity to talk to someone who actually fought in the pacific, they would have told you “I don’t agree with us dropping 2 atomic bombs on Japan. We should have dropped 10”.

The Japanese were barbarians and only would respond to being humbled.

All of you frickers that are against the bombing have never spoke to someone who fought in the pacific. My great uncle was tortured by those bastards and he said we went easy on them. They were barbaric humans. Truman made the right call, it was going to be 100 times worse.
