just like Amerikkka deserved 9-11, Japan deserved the Atomic bombings

Absolutely not wtf. Those bombs are part of the reason Japan never underwent their own denazification because the Soviets were going to liberate them from the imperial fascists.

afaik they were preparing ships in sakhalin to send troops to hokkaido when the bombs went off. like a couple more weeks and we would have had a communist hokkaido. they occupied the kurils and sakhalin within two weeks of declaring war as well

I’m not even trying to be a dick when I say that this is probably the worst take I’ve seen on here. One of the main reasons the US nuked Japan was to secure their hegemony and prevent the USSR from liberating them.

It is one of the worst war crimes the US has ever committed.
