    Or what, precisely? Is the above supposed to be seen a threat?

    Do not post in a manner that warrants an unkind manner of address in response, if such is not appreciated.

    Nope and denial does not hack it. You have provided no proof. Explain how I am wrong.

    1. The Japanese have proved to be determined fighters. They demonstrated that on Okinawa and Iwo Jima. Only 12% of the Japanese surrendered after the battle.

    2. The Japanese would be fighting on their homeland. That means that every man, woman and child is potentially a soldier. They would have fought with every available weapon including pitchforks and knives.

    3. The Japanese did no respond to surrender requests from Potsdam.

    4. The Japanese did not surrender until ordered to do so from their Emperor.

    5. We may claim that they did not have the ability to continue the fight. They did and speculation they did not is not is based on our knowledge in 1945. We only saw what happened in recent battles.

    Rather than your typical one word answers, show me where I am wrong in detail.

    Cult of Hitler: It's not terrorism when *we* do it to *them!*

    Cult of Truman: It's not terrorism when *we* do it to *them!*

    Cult of bin Laden: It's not terrorism when *we* do it to *them!*

    And so it goes...

    Japan was on its knees & prepared to surrender, but regardless...

    Hiroshima & Nagasaki: Textbook terrorism

    Terrorism: Never okay

    Making excuses for terrorism: Despicable

    Cease engaging in activity and/or interactions that are indistinguishable from a poorly programmed bot that only has one dozen or so words available in its vocabulary. Otherwise you will be reported to the forum staff on suspicion of being a bot.

    I would remind you that it was the extreme racism and bigotry by both the Nazi Germans and Imperial Japanese that produced the huge atrocities and genocides.

    The atrocities and war crimes committed by the nation of Japan were of such a heinous nature, it actually frightened even the nation of Germany under nazi occupation. Adolf Hitler, spokesman for the master race narrative, willingly allied with those who would never be deemed master race material, out of fear of having to fight against them during world war two.

    Sadly, the Allies, and especially the US, committed a large number of war crimes and terrorism.

    Sadly American decisions in

    Bombing Japan 1945
    Korean War 1950-53
    Vietnam War 1965-73

    were based largely on Racism and the idea of diposability of Asian people. Overall, at least 3.5 million civilians were killed by USA in these wars.

    Racism is not popular in USA 2020, but it was popular then.

    Same empty statements.
    You realize that millions of Americans served and hundreds of thousands died so that you could make ridiculous statements like that. If we had lost, you would not have been able to say it in Japan or Germany.
