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.

            Nope, nukes were still the best of a bunch of bad choices.

            [citation needed]

            Years of fallout induced birth defects and rapes by occupying yankees was not the 'best of a bunch of bad choices.'

              Yeah, allowing the continued rape of Manchuria and then starving the civilian population of Japan, and then probably a land invasion with brutal urban warfare and anti-guerilla operations (because America always handles guerilla insurrections really well) would have been a much better option.

                Japanese leadership was on the verge of surrendering to the soviets, which would've ended the war in manchuria without the annihilation of the civilian populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

                imo the JCP being in power would be infinitely preferable to the US rape occupation which continues to this day

                I implore you to begin reading history from non-western/non-liberal sources

                  No they weren't. Maybe in Manchuria but certainly not mainland Japan, the Soviets didn't have the naval capability to launch an invasion of mainland Japan.

                      For what? Soviet Naval capacity? Well there's Project Hula https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Hula where the US had to provide naval vessels to the Soviets. Not to mention that even after that there was no guarantee that the Soviets would have been able to protect a naval invasion.

                      For the Japanese not wanting to surrender, they were refusing to surrender after the second nuke and threatened to overthrow the Emperor if he tried to surrender. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky%C5%ABj%C5%8D_incident
