nouda doesn't understand history very well.
"just to "finish off" a nearly finished army."
they were nearly finished off on iwo, when from 22.8k they had 200 alive.
"Could the Japanese have carried the effort after their land army, airforce and naval forces were severely decimated by their continuous losses? Probably not"
there is footage of civillians in the streets, women and children, grandparents, practicing military drills. The answer, even though you seem sure of your probably not, is absolutely yes. They estimated as low as 250k american soldiers.. go look at ground invasions of wwii, tell me how it worked out for the civilians. Furthermore, after hiroshima, they had a.. i forget, few days to a week? to surrender, and yet they passed on not a single word. So america dropped another, and to this day i want to visit the uss missouri
"Japan was already in peace talks with Soviets. Given time they would have eventually extended the same offer to the US."
While we continued to burn their island to the ground? they build with paper and wood, maybe they'll learn of stone one day?
"Nice to see that after 60+ years American mindsets still haven't changed. Massacre of innocents = just a means to an end = good for ol' America."
Yea, that whole liberating the planet and giving to back to whomever it belonged to, they are some bad, bad fluffing people. Makes you with the fascists in europe and the imperial japanese in the pacific had won. then those filthy americans with their human rights and their equality for all would be dead, and we'd all be german japanese or enslaved in death camps
who wants a nice leisurely walk to bataan?
