The US bombed them to force a surrender against us because they thought it would produce more favorable terms and limit Russia's influence in the region. I can't even really imagine what a Russia dominated Japan would look like today if it actually went down that way. This. That's the part people get confused about The US did not bomb the shit out of Japan to "protect US soldiers from a brutal ground war" the US government does not and never has given a single fuck about soldiers. They did it because they feared Russia [citation needed] I agree that theres a good chance that they used the bomb at least in part as a show of force to Russia - but its stupid to throw it out there as if its an unquestionable fact. --- -The Admirable <cite>0AbsoluteZero0 posted [p:896050318] in A-bombs co...
