Too many years we were pansies.. it will take a hit for them to get the message.
When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, it took 2 atomic bombs before they surrendered. After we hit Hiroshima, they were still not going to sign. then we hit Nagasaki and they surrendered. Millions were killed.. it took it to end Japan’s aggression.
Remember that, before the A-Bombs, we had conducted almost unmolested strategic bombing of Japan from June ‘44 to August ‘45. Their defenses could not reach our high altitude B-29s. The most commonly cited estimate of Japanese casualties from the raids is 333,000 killed and 473,000 wounded, but other estimates put total fatalities in the 241,000 to 900,000 range. The loss was mostly civilian life, but the raids contributed to a large decline in industrial production.
The fanatics would not quit in the face of assured destruction. It took the 2 A-Bombs to finish them off.

“The two bombings killed at least 129,000 people”
