>>11580085>yes, we had to keep the fucking Soviets out of JapanWhy? Japan has zero strategic value for Russia. You have it literally ass backwards. The only strategic value in Japan for Russia is in keeping it away from the US. The US wanted Japan as a staging ground for potential attacks against the USSR and China. If you think this justifies murdering hundreds of thousands of civilians then just say so and stop trying to pretend like it was in any way morally justified.
>Soviets seized ManchuriaThey literally had not. That only started after the first bomb had already been dropped. You don't even know the timeline of events.
>As soon as they could get the logistics in orderAnd how long do you think that would take (assuming it even would) you retard? Your whole justification for this hinges on the idea that a Soviet invasion was imminent and the US only had scant days to force Japan to surrender.
>Operation Meetinghouse killed more civilians than either bomb in one night of bombingNo it didn't, and you're comparing 12 hours and thousands of bombs from over 300 bombers to a singular bomb that wiped out tens of thousands of people in an instant. What is your point here anyway? That your government murdered thousands of civilians months prior so that somehow gives them a pass to murder thousands more later? This happened in March by the way, before Germany had surrendered, so I'm not sure why you'd bring it up. Soviets were hardly in the picture at this point. So what's your justification for this massacre of civilians?
>soldiers and civilians are one in the same in a self-imposed total war involving murdering surrendered enemy troops because hey viewed it as shameful, bayoneted chinese babies for practice, and used kamikaze pilots.lmao this is just completely nonsensical. Care to explain this, or are you just going to present some completely outrageous claim as a self-evident truth?
>you're dumb as fuck but you think you aren'tNo. That's you.
