The Nuking of Japan

[System of Solace]

The argument moved on a bit.

This is ridiculous; Mythic has created an imaginary evil dictator who never surrenders under the pressure of an unbeatable foe, an evil America who nukes everything, and an army of hypothetical "what if" arguments. I simply told him what happened and what would have logically happened if it was different. Position A is the best. I fully agree with you, Creed.

The emperor, although determined and quite an asshole, was still sane. He would not watch any more die by these blasts, but he would assume his suicide tactics could stop the American war machine from plowing through a ravaged Japan. Citizens committing suicide, houses/buildings burned, thousands of military deaths, millions of civilian deaths, and trillions in damage. Although he was in a pact with Hitler, he was not slowly descending into madness like Hitler. He also had the privilege of lasting longer than the Reich so he could see what happens to a country that does not surrender against insurmountable odds.
