yeah that seems fair, I'm gonna imagine that the US is gonna nuke the whole world next week and nuke washington to prevent that. I mean who can predict what a nation that has already used the nuclear bomb can do ? We must take preemptive measures.

I don't care. Actually, I would love Truman to bomb more cities. They deserved it.
That never works. When civilians are attacked it always causes them to want to get revenge and strike back against their attacker. What the nukes actually did was give the Japanese government an excuse to surrender.
to test nuclear technology and to beat Japan into submission to avoid an amphibious operation which would perhaps have cost more civilian lives and certainly a lot more military costs
But they didn't "nuke civilians". They nuked two industrial epicenters completely critical to the continued Japanese war-effort and their ability to perpetuate the conflict. Hiroshima was one of the largest manufacturing centers in the country, and Nagasaki was one of the biggest and most important shipping/transportation hubs. Both of these targets were only attacked after repeated warnings and opportunities to prevent the attacks were given and then ignored.
Do you look at things like the Bombardment of Hamburg and Battle of Berlin and ask "what was the point of nuking civilians"? I don't think you do, because those don't fit your narrative.
This is complete bullshit and you know it. Japan was militarily crippled at that point, there was literally nothing it could do. If you're going to defend war crimes, just say they're subhuman and deserved it. Don't be a fricking pussy.
>Japan was militarily crippled at that point, there was literally nothing it could do.
Why are people with no knowledge of actual history and the War allowed to comment on things like this?
Do they think they're insipid, irrational hate-boner for America and all things American is just as good as actual facts and knowledge and education?
Literally everything in that post is true. You're just seething over it because you don't like being contradicted on things you haven't done very much research into.
lol, their army in burma collapsed with the deaths counted in the 10s of thousands, the chinese were being heavily supplied by this point and had begun counteroffenives, their navy was nearly destroyed, and indonesia was blockaded cutting off their oil. I don't even care about the nukes, It was probably a good idea to scare the shit out of the rest of the world with them and give the japs some punishment, but I can't stand people making shit up about how we would've lost muh one million men in operation downfall, rather than japan just starving to death. Not everything is black and white.
They were still dug in and heavily manned and supplied enough for a long, suicidal war of attrition defending the Japanese mainland.
I'm sorry, but you are just wrong. Japan was still fighting the war at the time, and could perpetuate it largely however long they wanted to until killed the last man.
I know you worship non-whites and demonize whites, but this is just one example of a fact that defies that narrative that you're just going to have to accept and move on from.

I've had countless arguments; primarily statements of historical fact; from the very beginning, nearly all of which you have completely failed or refused to address.
Yes, the squealing indignation from non-Americans over Hiroshima and Nagasaki; which were at their core simply the last two examples of a city being destroyed by bombs in a war that was composed of THOUSANDS of "cities being destroyed by bombs"; is largely motivated solely by leftist inherent sympathy for non-whites and inherent demonization of whites, especially whites that are American.
That is 100% why you squeal over Hiroshima but don't squeal over Hamburg or Berlin. Because "those evil Nazis (i.e. whites) deserved it!".
You don't like having this motivation highlighted, because you want to do people into thinking that you are somehow "politically neutral" when you aren't.

It was literally ANYTHING before surrender when it came to the Japanese. When they dug themselves into gun pits and we're begged to surrender and save themselves rather than just fight to the death, countless members of them chose to remain and literally get varied alive by bulldozers ceiling the pits to allow the soldiers to pass rather than to surrender.
Anti-American Euro-troons will never accept facts like these, because they cannot bring themselves to admit that non-American non-Whites could ever be in the wrong compared to American Whites. Remember: White, Bad; not-White, Good.

Your dipshit posts was literally contradicted by multiple posts earlier in the thread.
The Japanese military was willing to sustain catastrophic amounts of casualties (both military and civilian) to achieve any sort of victory, which is why they were perfectly ok with training school children to kill US troops and peacekeepers, and were preparing entire fleets of kamikaze planes for the US invasion of the southern part of japan. But I guess being an redd/int/er user like yourself, you would rather shit on the US than spend anytime researching anything about the war.

Everyone had extensive business and other dealings in China, which to put it mildly, weren't helped by a horrendous war which left tens of millions dead.
The war weakened the Nationalist regime, empowered the communists, and increasingly destabilized Japan.
The war cemented the control of the military over Japan's domestic affairs, raising the spectre of further adventurism (part of the rationale for occupying Indochina was to cut off supply routes to China). After all, if you're pouring so much of the national effort into your military, and you've got insoluble national problems...you can't just let your investment go to waste, no?
Indochina could and was meant to serve as a logistical/aeronautical base for further operations in the area. The bombers that sank the HMS Prince of Wales and the HMS Repulse flew from Vietnam.

Matter of public record that they wanted to surrender, their only condition being to keep the emperor. But Americans wanted an unconditional surrender... which ended up allowing them to keep the emperor.
So the nuke really accomplished nothing except what it was intended to do - murder civilians.
They wanted a negotiated surrender and were trying to get the then-neutral USSR to act as mediators, while the Soviets were gearing up to invade along with the other allies. The US needed the Japs crushed so they could get them in their sphere of influence and have an anti-communist outpost in the East.
The terms they asked for in that negotiated surrender involved status quo antebellum, no occupation, and the current moronic government to stay in power. This is obviously unacceptable

In the context of WW2 nukes were just a very large bomb.
Operation meetinghouse, the firebombing of Tokyo, killed more people than either nuke
It was only postwar that nukes were given extra gravity as something uniquely destructive. A lot of mythmaking about the bomb happened postwar. Some of it came from Soviet propaganda efforts before they got the bomb, some came from generals and admirals who were in real danger of getting abolished of the air force sucked up all the funding. Between the war ending and Korea was an interesting time
>nukes can destroy all life on earth and put us under dusty sun for decades
Everyone on Earth knows that *now*. Only a handful of physicists knew that at the time. As far as the government and the military were concerned the A-bomb was, in fact, just a really big bomb.
Oh man wait until you learn that nuclear winters are not a real thing
Also murdering Japanese civilians, that's a big one.
Strategic bombing of cities was not illegal in WW2 except for in very specific circumstances
1) the city had to be undefended
2) it has to have no military industry or be a rail line or staging area for military equipment
There was only a bare handful of air raids during the war that were war crimes. Rotterdam for example, where it was declared an open city and the Germans bombed it anyways
what the frick are you talking about? >Strategic bombing of cities was not illegal in WW2 except for in very specific circumstances
yes it fricking was. until the allies decided that it wasn't.
>it´s just a big bomb
Even assuming nuclear winter, that would be accomplished by tens of thousands of nuclear weapons going off simultaneously over and in fuel-rich environments. A single device is irrelevant on the climate- scale.
Also, >destroy all life on Earth
A full-scale thermonuclear war wouldn't even drive humans to extinction.
operation downfall happens instead. the invasion of Japan. you feel bad about nuking a few 100k people, well the estimated casualties operation downfall for the Japanese was conservatively around 10 million. Japan would have been destroyed and the Americans would have shown no mercy because their estimated casualties would have been about a million.
showing off shiny new scary bomb or turning Japan into a massive graveyard. it really isn't a hard choice to make.
Oh I'm sure there were such plans. The whole point is that the US leadership ARRANGED TO WHOLE FRICKING THING TO BEGIN WITH. NOBODY NEEDED TO DIE ON EITHER SIDE. YOU'RE A LITERAL FRICKING BRAINWASHED SHITc**t OF A moron.

You are uninformed, and even factually, probably incorrect on multiple accounts that you have claimed.
No amount of pilpul is going to change this. You literally have proven that you DON'T KNOW what you're talking about, well simultaneously trying to "talk down" to people who do.
Again, you're a teenager making an ass of himself in public and thinking he "owned" everybody else while all the adults either point and laugh at him or feel pity for him and want somebody to call his mom.

How is there any conflict in those statements? Do you have ANY idea how grotesquely huge and costly in terms of manpower and casualties and actual full-scale land invasion of the Japanese mainland would have been? Especially considering the tactics that they used in the island-hopping portion of the campaign?
I love how consistent this pattern is. The people demonizing Whites/Americans are consistently the biggest mouth-breathing, lip-smacking morons on the planet, ignorant of basic historical facts as well as just genuine logic. It's practically invariable. No coincidence that the pro-American posts are consistently lengthy, well thought out cite multiple facts, all the anti-American ones are lazy one to two sentences, one of which is usually an ad hom, and address nothing in the post that they are replying to, while also being peppered with juvenile, autistic grammatical problems and spelling-errors.

It’s not just the lives of US GIs that were considered. That’s never been the argument so idk if you’re confused or playing some game here. The destructive toll would have been magnitudes more catastrophic on Japan as well if they had fought to the end like Germany did. Anyone halfway well read knows about the death toll in Dresden for example. The nukes didn’t end the war just because they were so powerful, they ended the war because the Japanese command were dismayed by the fact they could do that with a single bomb, and not just thousands of bombs and planes and the resources they would consume. Japan no longer had a grasp on the limit of US resources or will.

Yes or no? Because civilians died in EVERY SINGLE ONE of those.
Please answer that question rather than deflecting.
If "yes", then
1. You apparently need to go inform all the historians of the "war crimes" that they failed to catalog as such, and
2. You need to provide a reason why you screech and heem about Hiroshima and Nagasaki but NOT the literal thousands of other cities, and their constituent civilians, that were bombed into powder during the course of the war

The only way crimes the Americans committed in the Pacific were
1) unrestricted submarine warfare, which literally everyone did and nobody not even the Nazis were persecuted for postwar
2) marines refusing to accept Japanese surrenders because they kept on committing perfidy
3) marines desecrating Japanese bodies but that was mostly to make sure they were really dead

>America bad >therefore anything and everything America did is bad
It’s the only thing going through their heads. I see people in YT comments seriously say America is the most brutal and oppressive empire in the history of the world because they sanction other countries… they’ve become so entitled and expecting of the benefits of the modern world they believe they deserve them in any situation regardless of what they do. It’s honestly baffling
i lived with my japanese girlfriend for a few months. her grandma pulled out her photobook and showed me pictures of herself at high school training with a sharpened bamboo pole. she said most of the classes were cancelled and replaced with physical training like this. the expectation was that these children try to kill US soldiers with spears.
tl/dr: the japs, even their children, were going to fight to the death in a hopeless battle.
They were going to defend their territorial gains with civilians lives so it would be worth and they could keep on expanding after the war. They never expected to win, just bleed the enemy enough to get the allies to give up so they could go back to raping and pillaging the rest of east Asia. Japan is similar to Germany in that once they were forced to give up on their imperial dreams they switched to economic influence and their countries prospered
2023
The usa imagines that China will invade Taiwan to get Taiwan.
They are making the EXACT SAME MISTAKE they did in the late 1930s to 1941.
The usa has no concept of the smart moves in warfare and sees only brute-force frontal-assaults coming from its enemy, today; CHINA. >DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ALL MISSING...
China won't invade Taiwan.
THEY WILL INVADE AND TAKE JAPAN... knocking the usa out of the Pacific at a stroke.
They can then take Taiwan as and when they please.
The usa is underestimating their enemy again. >SCREENSHOT THIS AND IT'S TIMESTAMP
I already know I am right.
You will too, in the fullness of time.
China just takes a fraction of the money the US spends training and feeding just one decision of the minorities trannies and trailer trash that make up the US military and bribes officials in other countries into doing what it wants. In a decade or two Taiwanese politicians will vote for a bloodless reunification with China while mutt sailors can do nothing but pointlessly float off shore in their trillion dollar ship watching the Chinese peacefully conquer Taiwan for maybe a billion dollars total in bribes.
People's estimation of China's military capabilities is always mystifying. Imperial Japan had been quietly winning wars throughout the early 20th century. Communist China has barely fought, much less beaten any reputable opposition like the Japs did pre WW2.
My US history teacher in high school told me there was some evidence to suggest that FDR knew in advance about the imminent attack but needed a reason to enter the war, however I'm not sure where he picked that up.
It's common knowledge that the US not only instigated an attack but that they also knew Pearl Harbor was the target. Just like how they let 9/11 happen.
>if you refuse to trade at preferable prices and rates with a genocidal, expansionist Empire trying to eat the entire Pacific, then that gives them carte blanche to just launch massive military sneak-attacks on you without declaring war

roosevelt really wanted to get into the war, and did the actions that allowed that to happen. it really is that simple.
not that guy, but there was a lot of speculation that japan would inevitably attack america, britain, and the dutch east indies after the oil embargo. They couldn't attack one without the others joining in, and they needed the oil in indonesia and malaysia. Not sure if they new precisely where they were going to attack, the first year or so the allies suffered a lot of defeats so it suggests they weren't fully prepared.
This. Roosevelt even said it would be the best way to drag America into the war without seeming like he went back on his word to keep the country out of it.
yes, they were forced to either attack, or end their industrial society, and then get rekt by literally anyone anwyays. also they were trying to surrender for months before the nukes but the US really wanted to try them out.

Bullshit. And I will fight you with autistic vigor on this.
Army intelligence was monitoring japanese messages, but that could only reveal that IJN was about to strike a target. Not where that target was. America knew an attack was coming.
Guess what? Pacific is a big place with loads of military and other strategic targets.
Best part is, some of those Pearl Harbor battlewagons were repaired and refitted to fight in the Pacific during the late stages of the war. So they got some revenge on the japs.
>Americans literally fine with Japan invading China and even machine gunning an American steamship with nationals fleeing the Chinese capital >Japanese decide to chimp-out and attack America
They deserved it
>countless cities get bombed into absolute powder over the course of the war, killing millions of civilians collectively in the process
"...."
>America figures out a way to do this with ONE BIG bomb rather than countless tiny little small ones, and it serves to conclude the war without a massive, deadly land-invasion
"REEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
attacking Pearl Harbor was probably one of the biggest strategic blunders in history.
before Pearl, the US public was overwhelmingly against entering the war. no amount of propaganda could budge it. like 91% of the public opposed it.
Isoroku Yamamoto warned the Japanese imperial command what would happen and he was 100% correct.
if Japan hadn't attacked Pearl Harbor America would have never entered the war and Japan could have been free to do whatever they want in East Asia.
they were too arrogant or stupid and got their shit entirely pushed in by the US.
In the movie "Tora Tora Tora!" there's a scene where Japanese High-Command announces, and proceeds to celebrate, the plan to launch a massive sneak-attack on Pearl Harbor, declaring with religious forever how it will decapitate the American Empire in one fell swoop and prove Japanese superiority.
Everyone in the room proceeds to do the "BANZAI!"-poses and chanting, except for one guy. One Commander goes through the motions of doing the synchronized poses, but the camera zooms in on him to reveal he has an utterly horrified look on his face while he remains silent.
Great scene.
Anybody who was smart enough to NOT be fully and completely brainwashed into imperialistic fervor was completely aware of how needless, disastrous and counterproductive such a plan was as far as Japan achieving its goals in the Pacific during the war. Statistically impossible for EVERYONE in a faction to be stupid or foolish. Some of them remain self aware and, almost tragically, see the disasters that will undo their own country coming from a mile away, and yet are powerless to stop it.
The US would have entered the war with or without Pearl Harbour, Japanese expansionism in the pacific was far too big a threat to US interests there. Sooner or later the press consensus manufacturing would have done its job. That and there was far too much money to be made in the arms trade.
not when 90+% of the public was against it. even when the US entered the War the vast majority of US manpower and resources went to Europe, not the Pacific.
the US wanted to go to war with Germany but needed an excuse because the US public was so against the war. Japan gave them that excuse.
>not when 90+% of the public was against it.
It's not quite that clear, check out Gallup polls from 1941: http://ibiblio.org/pha/Gallup/Gallup%201941.htm
By Sept and Nov, majorities are saying that steps should be taken now to prevent Japan from becoming more powerful, even if they risk war. That would only have trended higher as Nip expansionism clashed with US interests. There would have been some inciting incident at some point.
You are so wrong you have to just be repeating some Reddit morons post. The US had an insane number of citizens with German ancestry who were very sympathetic to the motherland for much of the lead up to the war. That’s why the politicians couldn’t do more. The US didn’t even declare war on Germany at first, they returned Japans declaration and then the Nazis declared on the US.
Even after bombs, there was a military coup in Tokyo against surrender. So no, they were not ready to capitulate, they were fanatics (see defenses of many islands with almost no japanese POWs)
they were ready to "surrender", but the conditions were not reasonable in the american eyes. It's a world where the strong purge the weak. The asiatics were weak and got what they fricking deserved. They got buck broken so hard that their women still fetishize white men today.
>Be Germany and Japan >Wage an insane race war against the other 90% of the world >Millions of your people die >100 years pass >Americans keep making Americans who don't give a shit what race we are and never did >Germans get voluntarily raped into extinction >Japanese too busy fapping to drawings to procreate and die out
Why did World War Two even happen if you guys were just gonna end up doing this shit anyway?
Reality is Germans chimped out for being but hurt about losing a war, so they start a even bigger one that they had no hope of winning. The eternal kraut needed to be put down. >Verification not required

what was the point of nuking civilians
putting public opinion on the side of "we should surrender" and making the military scare of public outrage
then why don't strike a military target then? This would suppress any remaining resistance and do the same effect on the public, I surely wouldn't go and pick a rifle to fight against those who have the LE bomb
>I surely wouldn't go and pick a rifle to fight against those who have the LE bomb

>hundreds of thousands of Americans dead thanks to muh honorabu nip bullshit where any non-moronic enemy would've just surrendered
>useless inneffective suicide tactics are the norm
>let's just blow up a military base and some forrests they'll probably give up 🙂
>let's imagine a fake scenario that never happened to justify the murder of civilians
yeah that seems fair, I'm gonna imagine that the US is gonna nuke the whole world next week and nuke washington to prevent that. I mean who can predict what a nation that has already used the nuclear bomb can do ? We must take preemptive measures.
No you can't do that, only burgermutts can use fanfic and made up casus belli to justify war crimes.
If someone else does it, they're eeeeeeeeeevil. Part of an Axis of Evil if you will.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the cities with the largest Christian populations in Japan
this "very large" christian population was like 0.1% of the whole city, they had one church
japs genocided their local christian converts in the 17th century stfu
The greatest deception Satan ever pulled on Americans was convincing them the murder of Jap civilians somehow didn't count as war crimes.
Let me guess? You're one of those homosexuals that whines about Dresden? Strategic bombing was not a war crime at the time, everyone on both the Allies and Axis side did it, and would not be considered as a war crime until precision weapons became commonplace.
DO IT AGAIN BOMBER HARRIS
Satan has his claws in you but I know you can break his influence, FIGHT IT
YOU GOTTA FIGHT IT
THOU SHALT NOT KILL - SAY IT
I don't care. Actually, I would love Truman to bomb more cities. They deserved it.
That never works. When civilians are attacked it always causes them to want to get revenge and strike back against their attacker. What the nukes actually did was give the Japanese government an excuse to surrender.
>Oh, your Emperor is a living god, huh?
>Sure seems like a real god could stop me from doing THIS.
>And THIS.
Nice
to test nuclear technology and to beat Japan into submission to avoid an amphibious operation which would perhaps have cost more civilian lives and certainly a lot more military costs
But they didn't "nuke civilians". They nuked two industrial epicenters completely critical to the continued Japanese war-effort and their ability to perpetuate the conflict. Hiroshima was one of the largest manufacturing centers in the country, and Nagasaki was one of the biggest and most important shipping/transportation hubs. Both of these targets were only attacked after repeated warnings and opportunities to prevent the attacks were given and then ignored.
Do you look at things like the Bombardment of Hamburg and Battle of Berlin and ask "what was the point of nuking civilians"? I don't think you do, because those don't fit your narrative.
moronic froggay btfo
This is complete bullshit and you know it. Japan was militarily crippled at that point, there was literally nothing it could do. If you're going to defend war crimes, just say they're subhuman and deserved it. Don't be a fricking pussy.
>Japan was militarily crippled at that point, there was literally nothing it could do.

Based coping moron
lol, their army in burma collapsed with the deaths counted in the 10s of thousands, the chinese were being heavily supplied by this point and had begun counteroffenives, their navy was nearly destroyed, and indonesia was blockaded cutting off their oil. I don't even care about the nukes, It was probably a good idea to scare the shit out of the rest of the world with them and give the japs some punishment, but I can't stand people making shit up about how we would've lost muh one million men in operation downfall, rather than japan just starving to death. Not everything is black and white.
They were still dug in and heavily manned and supplied enough for a long, suicidal war of attrition defending the Japanese mainland.
I'm sorry, but you are just wrong. Japan was still fighting the war at the time, and could perpetuate it largely however long they wanted to until killed the last man.
I know you worship non-whites and demonize whites, but this is just one example of a fact that defies that narrative that you're just going to have to accept and move on from.
>playing the race card
Yep, you're officially out of arguments. Not that you had any to begin with.
I've had countless arguments; primarily statements of historical fact; from the very beginning, nearly all of which you have completely failed or refused to address.
Yes, the squealing indignation from non-Americans over Hiroshima and Nagasaki; which were at their core simply the last two examples of a city being destroyed by bombs in a war that was composed of THOUSANDS of "cities being destroyed by bombs"; is largely motivated solely by leftist inherent sympathy for non-whites and inherent demonization of whites, especially whites that are American.
That is 100% why you squeal over Hiroshima but don't squeal over Hamburg or Berlin. Because "those evil Nazis (i.e. whites) deserved it!".
You don't like having this motivation highlighted, because you want to do people into thinking that you are somehow "politically neutral" when you aren't.
you're not even making sense. is this AI? you speak of the leftists who are the most american of all, and claim they are actually non-americans.
>you speak of the leftists who are the most american of all
You're talking about anybody else not making sense?
Spoiler alert for you since you've apparently been under a rock for the past Century: The Leftist narrative for 70 fricking years has been "America bad, America racist, America oppressive, America homophobic, America imperialist, America warmonger, America evil capitalism, only people who love America are dumb racist rednecks".
That's why I'm pulling down historical statues of American historical figures. That's why it's always left us chimping out and destroying America every election year.
yes, all that is quintessentially american.
You would know troony
>literally probing his point
Are Europeans moronic?
it's not the thing, it's the mindset
>Stop it nooooooo how dare you kill these civilians I would have ordered to fight you to their dying breath anyway I need to cause more unnecessary loss of life send some more of your marines to their deaths noooo you cannot do that it's cheating reeeeee!
Hirohito was such a piece of shit homosexual
That photo was being generous even considering they actually have a gun.
Hirohito literally implemented programs were schoolchildren, male and female, as young as the second grade, we're taught to attack and kill American soldiers AND American humanitarian-workers with sharpened sticks of bamboo and fight to the death rather than peaceably surrender.
It was literally ANYTHING before surrender when it came to the Japanese. When they dug themselves into gun pits and we're begged to surrender and save themselves rather than just fight to the death, countless members of them chose to remain and literally get varied alive by bulldozers ceiling the pits to allow the soldiers to pass rather than to surrender.
Anti-American Euro-troons will never accept facts like these, because they cannot bring themselves to admit that non-American non-Whites could ever be in the wrong compared to American Whites. Remember: White, Bad; not-White, Good.
The funny thing is America didn't even commit 1 million troops to the Pacific theater. But somehow propaganda convinced generations of mutts that they would lose millions invading Japan if they didn't irradiate civilians.
Christ almighty Americans are a special breed of stupid.
Do you think they wouldn't have shifted resources over from the theatres where there was no longer active fighting?
you do realize that troops can be moved. crazy concept but it happens. for the Korean War alone the US moved 1.7 million soldiers into that theater .
crazy huh? troops being moved.
what will those crazy Americans think of next?!
Your dipshit posts was literally contradicted by multiple posts earlier in the thread.
The Japanese military was willing to sustain catastrophic amounts of casualties (both military and civilian) to achieve any sort of victory, which is why they were perfectly ok with training school children to kill US troops and peacekeepers, and were preparing entire fleets of kamikaze planes for the US invasion of the southern part of japan. But I guess being an redd/int/er user like yourself, you would rather shit on the US than spend anytime researching anything about the war.
Troops can be moved and the US is a master of logistics, but I guess too much for someone like you to ever think about.
Roosevelt instigated the war. Bad things happened. Yes, I'm absolutely blaming him.

>What the frick why do you hate peace so much you racists
yes, the right thing to do would've been to continue mutually beneficial trade
What benefit does america get from bankrolling someone directly threatening it's interests?
They get rid of stuff they don't need, and receive things that they do need. Have they not taught you the concept of trade in school yet?
>paying the mob protection money is mutually beneficial!
it's just regular trade. all that other bs you were talking about were just fabrications of the conspiracists wanting to drive the country into war.
>bro it's just regular trade, all we want is more supplies for our incursions and invasions into your allies' territory!
No, homosexual.
I'll give you 50 bucks to frick your wife
If you say no I'm going to shank you and do it anyways
Of you decline you are literally committing a hate crime against me
This is a good argument. As this is a board for children, they take analogies as equal to the thing analogized. Very good.
If you actually care about reality, you will understand that a country cannot accept the loss of oil and steel, and still continue existing.
Here's a good way for Japan to get its oil and steel supplies back: pull out of Indochina and stop the war in China
>pull out of Indochina and stop the war in China
>needlessly antagonize the countries selling you vital materials
Why the frick would you think that any of this is going against America's interests, or the interests of countries selling Japan vital materials?
>why is Japan encroaching on America's territories and allies going against America's interests?
Not too bright are you, anon?
It's literally nothing to Americans, who happens to be governing those areas.
Everyone had extensive business and other dealings in China, which to put it mildly, weren't helped by a horrendous war which left tens of millions dead.
The war weakened the Nationalist regime, empowered the communists, and increasingly destabilized Japan.
The war cemented the control of the military over Japan's domestic affairs, raising the spectre of further adventurism (part of the rationale for occupying Indochina was to cut off supply routes to China). After all, if you're pouring so much of the national effort into your military, and you've got insoluble national problems...you can't just let your investment go to waste, no?
Indochina could and was meant to serve as a logistical/aeronautical base for further operations in the area. The bombers that sank the HMS Prince of Wales and the HMS Repulse flew from Vietnam.
So yeah it's a bullshit reason. There's nothing Japan did to hurt America's interests. It wasn't the US, it was Roosevelt who wanted that damn war and he did whatever it took, used whatever fricking flimsy excuse he had for it to make it happen.
>There's nothing Japan did to hurt America's interests
America had a trading interest in China that Japan was disrupting
Japan invaded a colony of noted US ally France
Japan was directly threatening the American territory of the Philippines
>why would attacking a nation’s allies go against said nation’s geopolitical interests?
It’s truly a fricking mystery, anon
NOT FRICKING ALLIES
NOT MY FRICKING CITIES! HOW COULD THIS BE HAPPENING TO ME?
>a country cannot accept the loss of oil and steel, and still continue existing
And somehow, Japan's conclusion wasn't "don't needlessly antagonize the countries selling you vital materials that you can't otherwise obtain" but rather "do whatever you want, you need them so they're obliged to supply you"
If you actually care about reality, you will understand that constantly pissing off a country that provides you steel and oil may result in your country being cut off from that steel and oil
So if I wanted to buy bullets from you and told you I was going to use them to kill your family, you'd go ahead and sell them to me right?
>They get rid of stuff they don't need
Can be put back into domestic production or sold to actual allies
>And receive stuff that they do need
What was Japan selling america in 1940 that was worth allowing them to threaten American territory?
Part of the rationale for the embargoes was that war-relevant materiel going to Japan could be better used for the buildup domestically. Japan was largely paying for imports in hard currency anyway, and the US had no shortage of dollars.
Perhaps if they weren't vying for control of interests of more powerful nations
They were not. Roosevelt just needed an excuse to get into the war, and that's where he could find it.
They quite literally desired the resources and territory controlled by the US and their European Allies.
>their army in burma collapsed with the deaths counted in the 10s of thousands
So more deaths in the war-continuation scenario.
>the chinese
So more deaths.
>their navy
So more deaths.
>blockades
So more deaths.
So more deaths are fine, as long as the deaths aren't of those in the two cities you've been primed to care about. Of course, in the no atomic bombs scenario, nothing would stop Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Kokura, Niigata etc. from getting firebombed into oblivion instead.
PSA: This is a israelite. All their claims are already known to you because they are israeli lies in the first place. No, they don't have proof. Proof is not something they care about. Emotional manipulation is everything. If you feel there's truth in something they say, that's because you've heard it from them a thousand times before. That's why they repeat the same lies over and over again for decades and centuries, so they start to feel familiar to anyone coming across their claims, and familiar is seen as good, and true. Don't be taken in by the israelite. Do not take him at his word.
None of you gays have posted anything ITT to counter any claim. You just whine about propganda and israelites.

Who the frick was talking about the Rothschilds? Psychotic shithead.
>call propaganda "actual facts and bullet points of data"
I used to be this young, maybe eventually you'll grow up too. Not holding my breath though.
>there was literally nothing it could do
Except continue to refuse surrendering apparently
Matter of public record that they wanted to surrender, their only condition being to keep the emperor. But Americans wanted an unconditional surrender... which ended up allowing them to keep the emperor.
So the nuke really accomplished nothing except what it was intended to do - murder civilians.
They wanted a negotiated surrender and were trying to get the then-neutral USSR to act as mediators, while the Soviets were gearing up to invade along with the other allies. The US needed the Japs crushed so they could get them in their sphere of influence and have an anti-communist outpost in the East.
The terms they asked for in that negotiated surrender involved status quo antebellum, no occupation, and the current moronic government to stay in power. This is obviously unacceptable
Yeah, you always go in with a toppy request to open negotiations. Don't get me wrong I think nuking them was reasonable, but they were willing to surrender, we will never know what the final terms would have been, obviously.
Uhh, no. Those were the absolute maximum terms the Japanese diplomats in Russia were instructed to give
They wanted to keep as much of their gains from the war as possible
You got a source for that? As far as I know it never got anywhere near anything like actual terms, just feelers with respect to getting the Soviets to mediate, not even an actual negotiation.
They were still occupying entire swaths of China, are you moronic?
>heh we already warned them knowing full well no one would evacuate because of an enemy warning, let alone in fear of a weapon they don't even know exists
There was a reason the city was spared up until that point. Perfect test subject.
Any other interpretation is literal glowie brainwashing and indoctrination.
>ok yes they gave them multiple repeated warnings and opportunities to avoid the bloodshed and preserve civilian life, but it's YOUR fault the Japanese government was to moronic/callous to take it seriously!!!
I'm pretty sure I'm done talking to you. You don't have anything of value, or anything remotely resembling and "informed opinion", to share.
>It's their fault they didn't know about our secret weapon that we just happened to demonstrate for the first time by dropping on civilians
kek keep coping, it's fun to watch
They literally dropped leaflets on several cities saying they had nukes and were going to use them.
The Japanese government knew about nukes, they had their own program moron.
Nagasaki was literally a backup target lmao. Bad weather over Kokura meant they had to switch targets at the last minute. They essentially had a nuke going spare.

In the context of WW2 nukes were just a very large bomb.
Operation meetinghouse, the firebombing of Tokyo, killed more people than either nuke
It was only postwar that nukes were given extra gravity as something uniquely destructive. A lot of mythmaking about the bomb happened postwar. Some of it came from Soviet propaganda efforts before they got the bomb, some came from generals and admirals who were in real danger of getting abolished of the air force sucked up all the funding. Between the war ending and Korea was an interesting time
>nukes can destroy all life on earth and put us under dusty sun for decades
>it´s just a big bomb
You're schizo is showing
A bomb and a planet ending device are not the same thing. One does localized structural damage, the other ends life on a planet
>nukes can destroy all life on earth and put us under dusty sun for decades
Everyone on Earth knows that *now*. Only a handful of physicists knew that at the time. As far as the government and the military were concerned the A-bomb was, in fact, just a really big bomb.
Oh man wait until you learn that nuclear winters are not a real thing
Strategic bombing of cities was not illegal in WW2 except for in very specific circumstances
1) the city had to be undefended
2) it has to have no military industry or be a rail line or staging area for military equipment
There was only a bare handful of air raids during the war that were war crimes. Rotterdam for example, where it was declared an open city and the Germans bombed it anyways
see
I know you don't really believe that but you have to understand that Satan is talking through you right now.
what the frick are you talking about?
>Strategic bombing of cities was not illegal in WW2 except for in very specific circumstances
yes it fricking was. until the allies decided that it wasn't.
It literally wasn't
Point at the law of war
homie you serve the archons
>Point at the law of war
WW2 nukes were just 'big bombs'. Post war nukes is where world destruction comes in. By now there could be 100mt+ 20 warhead MIRV hypersonic nukes
>it´s just a big bomb
Even assuming nuclear winter, that would be accomplished by tens of thousands of nuclear weapons going off simultaneously over and in fuel-rich environments. A single device is irrelevant on the climate- scale.
Also,
>destroy all life on Earth
A full-scale thermonuclear war wouldn't even drive humans to extinction.
i hate zoomers so much it's unreal
operation downfall happens instead. the invasion of Japan. you feel bad about nuking a few 100k people, well the estimated casualties operation downfall for the Japanese was conservatively around 10 million. Japan would have been destroyed and the Americans would have shown no mercy because their estimated casualties would have been about a million.
showing off shiny new scary bomb or turning Japan into a massive graveyard. it really isn't a hard choice to make.
tell me you're at least getting paid to spew this bullshit
those are facts just because they somehow offend you doesn't change the reality of them.
Oh I'm sure there were such plans. The whole point is that the US leadership ARRANGED TO WHOLE FRICKING THING TO BEGIN WITH. NOBODY NEEDED TO DIE ON EITHER SIDE. YOU'RE A LITERAL FRICKING BRAINWASHED SHITc**t OF A moron.
Dumb esl poster

>didn't even deny it
Relax shit skin
yes the US arranged for the Japanese to launch an attack on Pearl Harbor.
maybe it was aliens?
yes, the US arranged for the Japanese to launch an attack on Pearl Harbor.
that is correct. that is what happened.
You are deranged and you need to stop thinking that you have any right to participate in this conversation. You are just making unhinged common nonsensical noise.
Just believe whatever the authority figure told you, child.
>it's a FACT that we would lose more people than we ever committed in the first place because... it just is OKAY???
I can tell this was hard-grafted into your brain. Only way to explain how you can be this stupid.
>you absolutely CANNOT commit more troops than you did in the beginning because... well it just wouldn't be fair
>he thinks America would lose a million troops invading women and children
>when it didn't even lose that many in the American Civil War
Propaganda, hell of a drug.
Weapons had moved on a little bit in the intervening 70 years, and the armies involved were far larger too.
Again, if you think Americans would lose a million troops against Japanese women and children, you either have a high opinion of civilians who've never seen battle or a really low opinion of the average burger warrior.
There were still over 140 active divisions (at least 5 million personnel) in the IJA in '45. Plus they were extremely dug in on the home islands and supported by all sorts of volunteer and ad-hoc civilian forces.
>still no argument
Stay mad I guess. They can be bombed again.
Keep coping
>still no argument
They can be bombed again. Keep talking shit and see what happens.
Yawn, keep coping
instead of spewing shit you might want to offer some kind of evidence to the contrary. except you won't because you're entire argument is based on your feelings.
you might want to get your HRT adjusted because it's clearly fricking with your mind.
Everything you said was based on fees fees and also really transparent attempts to justify using a weapon that didn't need to be used. At least I'm smart enough to understand its real purpose, which was both strategic as well as punishment for Pearl Harbor.
You're still drinking the propaganda koolaid instead of just admitting America committed war crimes and the only reason it got away with it was because it won the war. Which is fine but also you shouldn't cry too much when this sort of reasoning boomerangs back at you.
>America committed war crimes and the only reason it got away with it was because it won the war
Nobody is saying that. Everybody commits war crimes, it's just that only the winners get to prosecute them. Japs are just endlessly asshurt sore losers because they fricked around and found out.
>it's just that only the winners get to prosecute those on the other side
Fix'd. Also most Japs today aren't bitter about the bombings, they just accept it was something that happened in war. But you're never going to see any of them talking about it the way burgers seem to fanfic in their heads, that every Jap man, woman and child would have suicided rather than surrendered, especially when most of them had never even seen combat.
if you only hear the one side who instigated the whole thing justifying their own actions and actually believe them, that's not a pretty picture of 'the enemy'.
>that every Jap man, woman and child would have suicided rather than surrendered, especially when most of them had never even seen combat
Why was that unbelievable at the time? Especially given the GI's experience with Kamikazes, false surrenders, massed bayonet charges, and enemy combatants playing dead, which weren't really seen in any other theater of the war.
It's never not going to be funny that burgers still to this day psych themselves into thinking women and children would kill a million of them and not fold no matter how much preparation or training they're given, especially when even battle hardened Japanese men surrendered.
You can believe it if you want but it's still funny to think that this was actually a talking point. Germany also tried to prepare its civilians to fight to the last, don't have to tell you how that turned out.
>women and children would kill a million of them
The IJA still had over 5 millions troops, you fricking moron. The civilian ad hoc forces were in addition to this.
>Germany also tried to prepare its civilians to fight to the last,
Yes, and the Volksstrum still succeeded in killing people and committing atrocities, despite being doomed to fail.
Yeah just like it still technically had a combined fleet. The fact is that a blockade would've been very effective and an invasion wasn't even necessary. It's a matter of public record that the Japanese were already suing for peace before the nukes got dropped.
>The fact is that a blockade would've been very effective and an invasion wasn't even necessary
Autarky was a MAJOR doctrine of Japan's geopolitical strategy
>It's a matter of public record that the Japanese were already suing for peace before the nukes got dropped
Yeah and they wanted to keep their military, prevent an occupation, and let their war criminals go. It doesn't work like that, especially when you throw the first punch and have a reputation for being underhanded in combat.
It does work like that since in the end we did let them keep their military. And the main sticking point was keeping the emperor, which again we let them keep.
Either way, they were already at the negotiating stage, which that makes the case for nuking them even weaker.
>the end we did let them keep their military
We didn't though. It would be an entire decade before their "self defense force" was created
>And the main sticking point was keeping the emperor, which again we let them keep.
Weeb cope. The main demands included a military occupation, disarmament, and trial of certain war criminals.
>Either way, they were already at the negotiating stage, which that makes the case for nuking them even weaker.
And that's not how negotiating works. You don't take your foot off the gas and give your enemies what they want just because they start losing and want to cut their losses.
>while in negotiations you must nuke the other side's civilians
Thank frick other nations developed their own nukes so this braindead thinking got stopped in its tracks.
>engage in a total war that you started
>decide that you've had enough when you start losing
>the enemy continues to engage in total war because they think you're on the ropes and can get better peace terms
>NOOOOO YOU CANT DOOO THAT ITS NOT FAAAAIR
Like I said before, you're all just a bunch of butthurt sore losers.
>engage in a total war that you started
>decide that you've had enough when you start losing
American history in a nutshell.
I accept your concession. You may now leave my thread
I accept your surrender. You may abscond.
>but what about that time America
Yeah that's what I thought. See you in the next Miyazaki/Oppenheimer thread so I can shit on your chest again.
Oh you mad. Glad the Taliban took your advice of never taking their foot off the gas 😀
>And the main sticking point was keeping the emperor, which again we let them keep.
Hirohito kept his head, but the Emperor (the living god who was the cornerstone of the state Shinto death cult) died in a very real sense
It's conceivable that Japan died with him. It's not surprising their economy stagnated and their birth rates plummeted. They basically lost the will to live. Compare them to China, which is now vibrant and thriving with people looking forward to tomorrow now more than ever.
躺平
"Japan" didn't die with state Shinto. That was literally made up from wholecloth in the 1860s to be the ideological underpinning of the new Japanese empire. It is a deliberate twisting of traditional Japanese religion into an ideology that focused on self sacrifice for the state
Yea after the fricking israelites were stealing our tax money and secrets to sell to China for decades. They would have never made it communist all alone after wwII.
No, what's funny is that you've had historical facts explain to you over and over again in this thread and you're still belching the same uninformed garbage you started with. I'm fully convinced by this point that you are underaged, honestly, like a teenager posting on his mom's Wi-Fi or something.
You keep banging about how stupid Americans are while everybody points and laughs at you. You're literally too stupid to have the self-awareness to KNOW that you're stupid and know that you're making a fool of yourself.
I understand you've grown up on this bullshit to the point where it's basically a religion for you. I was the same way, but then I started applying critical thought and realizing our leaders aren't saints, especially back then.
If you'd rather tell yourself some fairy tale about how everything the Allies did was holy and everything the Axis did was pure evil, be my guest. Something tells me you really need that to be true or your world would just collapse in on itself.
>If you'd rather tell yourself some fairy tale about how everything the Allies did was holy and everything the Axis did was pure evil, be my guest
Literally nobody says that. It's just that the people who weep and wring their hands over the downfall of Imperial Japan and the bombs are moronic apologists and asshurt weebs.
>weep and wring their hands over the downfall of Imperial Japan
I can't find a single post that said this, you're basically creating strawmen at this point. Again, you probably need this fairy tale version of history to be true and that's fine. But I've already outgrown it and so you'll have to find someone else to validate your way of thinking.
Quote the rest of the post, homosexual. This thread is full or morons like you crying over the bombs. You're a moron without a shred of credibility.
>Quote the rest
Or what? You gonna cry?
As long as you've given up on pretending you have a point, that's good enough for me. Please continue to "act" moronic, though
>actually crying
Oof.
>I'M NOT UNINFORMD, UR JUST BRAINWASHED
You are uninformed, and even factually, probably incorrect on multiple accounts that you have claimed.
No amount of pilpul is going to change this. You literally have proven that you DON'T KNOW what you're talking about, well simultaneously trying to "talk down" to people who do.
Again, you're a teenager making an ass of himself in public and thinking he "owned" everybody else while all the adults either point and laugh at him or feel pity for him and want somebody to call his mom.

Almost like there’s nuance to things and you can’t understand that because you’ve been “brainwashed” into this mindset that the American government is always the bad guy
Again, looks like you really need this right/wrong fairy tale narrative in your life so you should go ahead and keep believing it. Someday you'll grow up but you'll need to live a lot more of life before you get to that point.
Anon your argument has collapsed completely. You just pivot from one emotional appeal to the next. Like a panicked squid running from a shark.
>well the guberment isn’t squeaky clean yknow
>well America isn’t perfect you know
>well there are good people on the other side
As if any of that is what’s being argued. You’ve been defeated soundly by the other anon and now you need to do this Reddit move of psychoanalyzing him to show he’s arguing from a disingenuous place. It’s lame
You seem to be the only one reacting emotionally. Only you could get mad that I'm telling you to believe what you want, just because I refuse to validate your infantile views that are based on nothing more than outdated propaganda. Stop being such a pussy.
Thinking it's a matter of good guys versus bad guys shows you missed the point. There is no good or bad, only interests. Both sides committed war crimes but the winners get to write history. It's just that simple.
There are better sides you idiot. Good and bad happens everywhere, but we can look at an imperfect situation and judge them based on our chosen set of morals. You’re spineless. Switching back and forth from emotional appeals to unspoken esoteric knowledge. It’s like babies first Reddit post.
>There are better sides
Yes, they're called the ones who won. There is no right or wrong, only winners and losers.
It’s not just the lives of US GIs that were considered. That’s never been the argument so idk if you’re confused or playing some game here. The destructive toll would have been magnitudes more catastrophic on Japan as well if they had fought to the end like Germany did. Anyone halfway well read knows about the death toll in Dresden for example. The nukes didn’t end the war just because they were so powerful, they ended the war because the Japanese command were dismayed by the fact they could do that with a single bomb, and not just thousands of bombs and planes and the resources they would consume. Japan no longer had a grasp on the limit of US resources or will.
just spewing shit instead of offering any relevant information to the contrary.
US bad because you don't like Murica.
if I was spewing propaganda, you'd be able to offer an alterative other than US bad.
some of the acts that were wrong, were committed by americans. this is different from 'US bad'. unless you are of the belief that anything can only be all good or all evil.
>America committed war crimes
Alright homosexual, the US firebombing campaign was nothing short of a warcrime. As a side note, Dresden was justified fully and in no sense a warcrime.
If you say so.
I do say so, but its a shame it did happen. The soviets having to take it by force would have been much better. More dead commies and more dead krauts.
>America committed war crimes
Bombing a city, especially a city critical to the war effort, during A WAR, is not a war crime. Especially not when you literally go to the effort to drop fricking flyers warning people of what's going to happen before it happens.
Was literally every bombing campaign during World War II of War crime? Because if so you need to inform the historians.
Killing civilians is either a war crime or it isn't. If you can justify it then so can everyone else and we should stop trying to hold anyone accountable for war crimes if that's the line of reasoning you're going with.
You didn't answer the question.
Was literally every bombing campaign during World War II of War crime?
Yes or no? Because civilians died in EVERY SINGLE ONE of those.
Please answer that question rather than deflecting.
If "yes", then
1. You apparently need to go inform all the historians of the "war crimes" that they failed to catalog as such, and
2. You need to provide a reason why you screech and heem about Hiroshima and Nagasaki but NOT the literal thousands of other cities, and their constituent civilians, that were bombed into powder during the course of the war
That’s simplistic to the point of stupidity.
>killin bad or killin good, one or the other, choose
Everyone knows there’s a difference between unexpected collateral damage, Expected collateral damage for the purpose of ending a war quicker, and targeting civilians. 9th graders learn this fact when they read “A separate peace”. There are people who dedicate their lives to studying the legality and ethics of war, and yet you think you’re on to something by boiling it down to moron speak
If you can justify killing civilians, everyone can. And the only difference is who wins, which is how it works already.
>if you can justify lying any lie can be justified
>if you can justify shooting a guy trying to murder you then any shooting can be justified
I’m sorry anon but you have a 10th grade understanding of ethics and morality. That’s not how people view the world.
see
He understands things a lot better than you.
By this logic, there are no such things as war crimes since during a war, every city of a nation would be involved in the war effort.
That is correct, war crimes are a meme used by le rules based international community of the civilised world to smear whatever enemy nation they want to.
The only way crimes the Americans committed in the Pacific were
1) unrestricted submarine warfare, which literally everyone did and nobody not even the Nazis were persecuted for postwar
2) marines refusing to accept Japanese surrenders because they kept on committing perfidy
3) marines desecrating Japanese bodies but that was mostly to make sure they were really dead
Also murdering Japanese civilians, that's a big one.
You're pretty angry that people can make mathematical estimates based off of known circumstances in the real world aren't you? Specifically because such things don't fit your narrative/outright contradict it.
yea
U forgot to mention the inevitable soviet storm that was bound to happen even if americans decided to leave the pacific theatre.

This, America should be able to to nuke whomever it wants and it should begin with all the Black folk that belong to BRICS.
>if you can't commit to a million troops to the invasion of an island less than 2 square miles in size that means you couldn't do it for mainland Japan
moronic weeb gay
How is there any conflict in those statements? Do you have ANY idea how grotesquely huge and costly in terms of manpower and casualties and actual full-scale land invasion of the Japanese mainland would have been? Especially considering the tactics that they used in the island-hopping portion of the campaign?
I love how consistent this pattern is. The people demonizing Whites/Americans are consistently the biggest mouth-breathing, lip-smacking morons on the planet, ignorant of basic historical facts as well as just genuine logic. It's practically invariable. No coincidence that the pro-American posts are consistently lengthy, well thought out cite multiple facts, all the anti-American ones are lazy one to two sentences, one of which is usually an ad hom, and address nothing in the post that they are replying to, while also being peppered with juvenile, autistic grammatical problems and spelling-errors.
>whites/Americans
Again with the race card. When everyone knows no one demonizes whites/Americans more than whites/Americans.
Leftism was literally created in Europe and exported to America, forcibly over the course of multiple decades after the war.
>America bad
>therefore anything and everything America did is bad
It’s the only thing going through their heads. I see people in YT comments seriously say America is the most brutal and oppressive empire in the history of the world because they sanction other countries… they’ve become so entitled and expecting of the benefits of the modern world they believe they deserve them in any situation regardless of what they do. It’s honestly baffling
>only Americans were in the Pacific
i lived with my japanese girlfriend for a few months. her grandma pulled out her photobook and showed me pictures of herself at high school training with a sharpened bamboo pole. she said most of the classes were cancelled and replaced with physical training like this. the expectation was that these children try to kill US soldiers with spears.
tl/dr: the japs, even their children, were going to fight to the death in a hopeless battle.
japan is so pathetic
This is why we should support China. China has only ever been our ally while Japs have always been our enemy.
Bring back Chiang Kai-shek.
Even the Taiwanese don't want him, they literally deface his statues.
how could they reach the americans? were their bamboo sticks 3000 miles long?
the kids would stab the soldiers AFTER they landed on the beaches of japan dumb dumb
Any jap child could be taken out with a single blow. It's moronic that they thought that would work.
Balloons.
>To this day the U.S. has no defense against this
The American fears the balloon
They were going to defend their territorial gains with civilians lives so it would be worth and they could keep on expanding after the war. They never expected to win, just bleed the enemy enough to get the allies to give up so they could go back to raping and pillaging the rest of east Asia. Japan is similar to Germany in that once they were forced to give up on their imperial dreams they switched to economic influence and their countries prospered
Why are anti-American troons SO FRICKING stupid?
They've been brain washed by israelite media
They should just be thankful it wasn't on Kyoto and Tokyo.
PAVEMENT ART.
american government is evil
Two nukes was merciful. I would have turned jap*n into a glass lined crater if I was Truman.
israelites are evil. There literally was no point other then to be evil and test a new weapon to use to threaten non-zogged countries in the future.

2023
The usa imagines that China will invade Taiwan to get Taiwan.
They are making the EXACT SAME MISTAKE they did in the late 1930s to 1941.
The usa has no concept of the smart moves in warfare and sees only brute-force frontal-assaults coming from its enemy, today; CHINA.
>DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ALL MISSING...
China won't invade Taiwan.
THEY WILL INVADE AND TAKE JAPAN... knocking the usa out of the Pacific at a stroke.
They can then take Taiwan as and when they please.
The usa is underestimating their enemy again.
>SCREENSHOT THIS AND IT'S TIMESTAMP
I already know I am right.
You will too, in the fullness of time.
that's a cute boat
>China can somehow mask the buildup of millions of troops and masses of boats from satellites.
China just takes a fraction of the money the US spends training and feeding just one decision of the minorities trannies and trailer trash that make up the US military and bribes officials in other countries into doing what it wants. In a decade or two Taiwanese politicians will vote for a bloodless reunification with China while mutt sailors can do nothing but pointlessly float off shore in their trillion dollar ship watching the Chinese peacefully conquer Taiwan for maybe a billion dollars total in bribes.
Chinese spies in America keep on betraying China because of Asian American men's comparatively larger penises
>THEY WILL INVADE AND TAKE JAPAN
They can certainly try
People's estimation of China's military capabilities is always mystifying. Imperial Japan had been quietly winning wars throughout the early 20th century. Communist China has barely fought, much less beaten any reputable opposition like the Japs did pre WW2.
It's crazy how the CGI looks better than most movies today
>Japs bomb naval harbor while most of the ships are away
Was their intelligence that bad or were they just moronic?
My US history teacher in high school told me there was some evidence to suggest that FDR knew in advance about the imminent attack but needed a reason to enter the war, however I'm not sure where he picked that up.
It's common knowledge that the US not only instigated an attack but that they also knew Pearl Harbor was the target. Just like how they let 9/11 happen.
>common knowledge
Proof?
My schizophrenia
it was revealed to me in a dream
Maybe that one time we sanctioned like 90% of their imports
I guess it's inevitable that Russia will be dropping bombs on Guantanamo Bay then
>if you refuse to trade at preferable prices and rates with a genocidal, expansionist Empire trying to eat the entire Pacific, then that gives them carte blanche to just launch massive military sneak-attacks on you without declaring war
The "Murrica wouldn't give dem all the oil so DEY DA REAL BAD GUYS"-narrative has to be the single most brain-dead extension and lazily half-understood and parroted sound-byte of the entire shrieking, effeminate, low-IQ anti-American moron-brigade yet. Literally every single one of you has never researched anything related to this topic. You literally heard somebody say it on the internet, who of course heard it from somebody else, and you just mindlessly repeated it because you went "oh yeah, that sounds right and it also makes America the bad guy, so I'm going to say that".
roosevelt really wanted to get into the war, and did the actions that allowed that to happen. it really is that simple.
not that guy, but there was a lot of speculation that japan would inevitably attack america, britain, and the dutch east indies after the oil embargo. They couldn't attack one without the others joining in, and they needed the oil in indonesia and malaysia. Not sure if they new precisely where they were going to attack, the first year or so the allies suffered a lot of defeats so it suggests they weren't fully prepared.
This. Roosevelt even said it would be the best way to drag America into the war without seeming like he went back on his word to keep the country out of it.
>The genocidal Jap empire DINDU NUFFIN!
>They were FORCED to launch a massive military sneak-attack on a sovereign nation without declaring war!!!
You're fricking high if you think anyone itt is defending or justifying the Pearl Harbor attack
Meanwhile:
yes, they were forced to either attack, or end their industrial society, and then get rekt by literally anyone anwyays. also they were trying to surrender for months before the nukes but the US really wanted to try them out.
Bullshit. And I will fight you with autistic vigor on this.
Army intelligence was monitoring japanese messages, but that could only reveal that IJN was about to strike a target. Not where that target was. America knew an attack was coming.
Guess what? Pacific is a big place with loads of military and other strategic targets.
Most of the battleships (the targets) were in port it was only the carriers that weren't
They only missed the carriers by a couple of days
Yeah poor intel was one of the biggest reasons they lost the war
Best part is, some of those Pearl Harbor battlewagons were repaired and refitted to fight in the Pacific during the late stages of the war. So they got some revenge on the japs.
I don't think they would allow blacks on board
It’s crazy to think how they once were at war and now Japan is just a client state of the US. so much for honorabur samurai
>Americans literally fine with Japan invading China and even machine gunning an American steamship with nationals fleeing the Chinese capital
>Japanese decide to chimp-out and attack America
They deserved it
Um, brit bros?
where's the lie?
>countless cities get bombed into absolute powder over the course of the war, killing millions of civilians collectively in the process
"...."
>America figures out a way to do this with ONE BIG bomb rather than countless tiny little small ones, and it serves to conclude the war without a massive, deadly land-invasion
"REEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
attacking Pearl Harbor was probably one of the biggest strategic blunders in history.
before Pearl, the US public was overwhelmingly against entering the war. no amount of propaganda could budge it. like 91% of the public opposed it.
Isoroku Yamamoto warned the Japanese imperial command what would happen and he was 100% correct.
if Japan hadn't attacked Pearl Harbor America would have never entered the war and Japan could have been free to do whatever they want in East Asia.
they were too arrogant or stupid and got their shit entirely pushed in by the US.
In the movie "Tora Tora Tora!" there's a scene where Japanese High-Command announces, and proceeds to celebrate, the plan to launch a massive sneak-attack on Pearl Harbor, declaring with religious forever how it will decapitate the American Empire in one fell swoop and prove Japanese superiority.
Everyone in the room proceeds to do the "BANZAI!"-poses and chanting, except for one guy. One Commander goes through the motions of doing the synchronized poses, but the camera zooms in on him to reveal he has an utterly horrified look on his face while he remains silent.
Great scene.
Anybody who was smart enough to NOT be fully and completely brainwashed into imperialistic fervor was completely aware of how needless, disastrous and counterproductive such a plan was as far as Japan achieving its goals in the Pacific during the war. Statistically impossible for EVERYONE in a faction to be stupid or foolish. Some of them remain self aware and, almost tragically, see the disasters that will undo their own country coming from a mile away, and yet are powerless to stop it.
The US would have entered the war with or without Pearl Harbour, Japanese expansionism in the pacific was far too big a threat to US interests there. Sooner or later the press consensus manufacturing would have done its job. That and there was far too much money to be made in the arms trade.
not when 90+% of the public was against it. even when the US entered the War the vast majority of US manpower and resources went to Europe, not the Pacific.
the US wanted to go to war with Germany but needed an excuse because the US public was so against the war. Japan gave them that excuse.
>not when 90+% of the public was against it.
It's not quite that clear, check out Gallup polls from 1941: http://ibiblio.org/pha/Gallup/Gallup%201941.htm
By Sept and Nov, majorities are saying that steps should be taken now to prevent Japan from becoming more powerful, even if they risk war. That would only have trended higher as Nip expansionism clashed with US interests. There would have been some inciting incident at some point.
You are so wrong you have to just be repeating some Reddit morons post. The US had an insane number of citizens with German ancestry who were very sympathetic to the motherland for much of the lead up to the war. That’s why the politicians couldn’t do more. The US didn’t even declare war on Germany at first, they returned Japans declaration and then the Nazis declared on the US.
Pearl Harbour was an inside job.
The bomb doesn't explode on impact?
Man that CG looks a bit goofy now
>BOIIIING!
How does Roland Emmerich's version compare?
kek I love the japanese
KAKAKAKA FRICKING AMAZING, DO YOU HAVE MORE?
Any more of these beautiful water color drawings?
Even after bombs, there was a military coup in Tokyo against surrender. So no, they were not ready to capitulate, they were fanatics (see defenses of many islands with almost no japanese POWs)
they were ready to "surrender", but the conditions were not reasonable in the american eyes. It's a world where the strong purge the weak. The asiatics were weak and got what they fricking deserved. They got buck broken so hard that their women still fetishize white men today.
I warned you bro. I warned you about bombs.
>Be Germany and Japan
>Wage an insane race war against the other 90% of the world
>Millions of your people die
>100 years pass
>Americans keep making Americans who don't give a shit what race we are and never did
>Germans get voluntarily raped into extinction
>Japanese too busy fapping to drawings to procreate and die out
Why did World War Two even happen if you guys were just gonna end up doing this shit anyway?
The reality is the good guys lost.
Reality is Germans chimped out for being but hurt about losing a war, so they start a even bigger one that they had no hope of winning. The eternal kraut needed to be put down.

for those who enjoy reading beyond "moron! no u!"
I can never tell if the weabs posting here are genuinely moronic euros who know nothing about the Pacific or thirdies who just hate America
again, thirdies don't hate america. americans hate america.
This. No one hates America more than Americans. Everything is going to shit here so it's understandable. It says a lot that we're looking more and more to past glories instead of the future.
Not even talking about WW2, I'm noticing more and more that everyone is longing for simpler times when people could still make a decent wage, afford a house and raise a family etc.
The apologists and weebs have been thoroughly BTFO ITT, so they're just posting random anti-American seethe now
i take it you're the guy repeating establishment lies
I take it you're the seething schizo homosexual without a leg to stand on
i'm the one of us who as actually looked at more than 1 source
You're free to post all these "sources" you claim you have
Japan had the ryuufuku, “suicide frogmen” who were trained to hide underwater and hit American landing crafts from below using explosive spears.
Did this actually work?
Surrendered before implantation
Coping Americans on this thread.
You committed one of the most heinous warcrimes in the human history.
What warcrimes Japs did beforehand does not change that fact.
Coping, historically illiterate thirdies on this thread who are too stupid to realize there was a massive coup attempt to prevent the surrender even after two nukes and a Russian declaration of war.

How many fricking israelitebots are there in this thread?
Wait, which side are you accusing of being israelites again?
Jews are the people who created the mainstream understanding of the war. Anyone propagating it, is a israelite.
But anon, the anti nuclear narrative and the revisionist takes arguing that the Soviets actually ended the war and that Japan dindu nuffin were literally formulated in the 60s by israeli university professors
You can pretty much tell them from their 'proper' writing style. They will respond to any mention in any thread on any board that goes against the israelite narrative.
It's literally their job.
Anyone who has any positive opinions about USA and it's role in WW2 and the modern world is a israelite or a israelite sympathizer. America is the most israeli fricking entity on the planet and is responsible for spreading israelite filth wherever it's empire has influence.
Stop blaming america for your personal failings and you might get farther in life
Your dad might even love you
My own life is fantastic. The existence of your israelite serving, Black person worshipping, homosexual nation is simply objectively an evil that no sane person is happy about. The sooner your nation is destroyed, the better. American lives have negative value, the world would instantly become a better place if every single american dropped dead the moment I pressed post on this message.
go leave and whine about how white women will never frick you, browncel
lmao do americans really?
>You were sad about your soldiers' sacrifice? UM CRINGE MUCH?
Why are pooskins like this?
USA is a blight on humanity and every single person who has ever worked for the american government should be tortured to death in full view of their families.
>t. third worlder that is mad his family wasn't butchered by some communist government
I'm a Finn.
I fricking despise you american rats more than any other peoples on this planet. I would gladly see all of you shot dead and the entire continental USA reduced to a nature preserve with zero human life allowed to exist in it. Your continued existence is a crime against humanity, you fricking repulsive, israelite loving mongrel.
Seethe
At least the swedes were relevant historically
Lmao
The only worthwhile americans are ones who kill members of the federal government, american academics, politicians, media people, bankers and otherwise destabilize USA.
Do a world a favor and choke yourself to death, american worm.
Why Don't you stop the communist baby fricking and fix your own god damned country.
What makes you think I am a communist? I fricking hate communists just as much as I despise you americans, both commies and americans are just pawns of israelites. The only worthwhile ideology of ww2 was National Socialism.
Frick globalization, frick free trade, frick USA and frick internationalism. Everything that happened after WW2 has been nothing but a spiral towards the downfal of humanity into eternal debt slavery under israeli financial power and you american scum are at the forefront of this quest to render all of mankind into slaves.
