We will not forget the casualties, pain, and suffering that the Japanese imperialist regime imposed on the Chinese people. Any attempt to deny or cover-up this tragedy will be met with strongest condemnation.

The choice was between nuking them or wait another few months of waiting the struggling japanese surrender unconditionally. Shaun just made a video documentary about it this week.
Even after the first nuke, the Japanese military command nearly coup'd the Emperor because he was considering surrender. There is no way that they would have surrendered after "a few more months".
Also I'm sure the people being butchered across Manchuria would really appreciate your lets-not-do-anything-mean-during-a-war tactic. "Sorry guys, I know they're literally raping women by the thousands and killing children, but these nukes are awfully loud"
Oh you're right, i firgot te japanese still had continental control.
Still completely unnecessary. "Military command" was not united against surrendering. Many were actively trying to surrender, conditionally or not. The nukes could also been dropped in unpopulated areas, or coastal sea. The soviets were at most two months away from liberating manchuria and korea, who were already materially cut off from japan.
How many civilians in Manchuria would you consider is acceptable to be murdered/raped/tortured before you thought dropping the nukes was acceptable? Also materially cut off doesn't matter when they controlled so much of Manchuria that they could have kept themselves reasonably supplied just from those regions.
I've not seen anything about Japan wanting to surrender unconditionally until after the second nuke. AFAIK they wanted to keep their overseas territories which would have meant a continued genocide.

ok?
no it's not okay
Wow you really showed me, here I was completely arguing in favour of rape and you just blew my argument apart. Good job.
Thank you, I'm glad you were able to learn and grow from this interaction

The war crime understander has logged on. You see in order to stop a war crime we just need to commit another war crime! Brilliant I agree, I think you should join the army IRL you'll fit right in.
Lmao at the fragility of Western leftists. A Chinese person asking questions on Nanjing memorial day has to have his post deleted.
I guess any amount of Chinese people dying is preferable to white leftists having to answer uncomfortable questions.
