Just watching a commenter on UT who says the Kremlin got in touch with DC and said something to the effect “you guys used nukes to end WWII because you didn’t want the casualties from an invasion of Japan.
While Japan never posed a serious threat to mainland US, you are supplying weapons to a belligerent who is using them to attack targets inside Russia and kill Russian soldiers.
Should we respond in the same way?”
Operation Cherry Blossoms at Night.
Yes, weaponized plague is absolutely no threat at all.
Of course it has always been the opinion of Russia that Japan was some poor wee innocent bunny or that they surrendered because they were so afraid of the USSR.
Reality is not the Russian's strong suit I am afraid.
