The Nuking of Japan

[System of Solace]

Yes, I made a mistake in saying Russia helped us.

My point was it would have ended in a massive amount of casualties, more so then the bombings.

It doesn't matter what Russia wanted. They had declared war and Japan could not maintain it. They were cut the fuck off. What would they have done? Thrown rice at us? (That's not racist. They have a lot of rice. I am proving a point about their natural resources.)

They probably would have stopped at Manchuria or Japan would have surrendered by the time they were ready. Of course Russia would fuck Japan up.

Sitting on our asses? Oh my. As for the differing governmental ideas, hell yeah, they helped cause it. They did not come about because of the war. You're backtracking. Russia was not "helping the United States." You got that wrong.

I believe I said "unless we were sitting on our asses".

You like scarecrows too?

Pictures of Japanese torture. That proves no point, but we at least know Japan was not innocent from these same tactics. It had nothing to do with the argument.[/quote]


Jonb: Unconditional surrender.
Mystic: Nothing to do with our argument. I won't try to make that clean, it's just that your argument for this topic was pretty weak.
