To be fair, the people they were stabbing and running from were about to fucking NUKE THEM. TWICE. So.
So prior to the nukes Japan had just lost their entire navy, their air force, and practically all their conquests in Asia where they killed well over 20 million civilians and lost 2 million soldiers in the process.
After Hiroshima the US gave them three days to surrender.
They didn't. One of most inevitable defeats in modern history and not only did they not surrender after the first, they tried to call America's bluff, and there was a coup attempt to prevent surrender after the second.
If you'd like some reading on the Japanese militarist cult and propaganda campaigns that enabled a people to be so delusional there's quite a lot of scholarly work available.
In any event the cause of their delusional dreams was the same cause that led them to having baby-bayonetting contests in China: ethnic supremacist rhetoric functionally identitical to Nazism that told them Americans and Soviets would be doing to them what they'd just done to China, Korea, the Phillipines, and many other nations.
Japan appealed to the USSR to arbitrate surrender. The USSR responded by holding to the Yalta conference agreements and declaring war on Japan and occupying Manchuria and Korea.
USSR broke the neutrality pact they had with Japan to do so, and the US dropped the second nuke after that pact was broken.
The bombing, declaration, and surrender was a period from August 6-August 15. Eleven days.
Yep. No point in a genocidal terrorist attack on civilians in japan.
Lol. Have you seen USA today? It's the birthplace of racism. They're still justifying this nuclear terror attack on japan while genociding people in palestine and all over the world. Never changes.
"nuclear terror attack" lmfao
You can shit on the US for so many evil things, but atomic bombing of japan is not one of them, that was probably one "least evil" things they've done.
