If the Japanese had not surrendered, we would have annihilated their entire country and slaughtered them all, and the American people would have celebrated this.

So Japanese civilians deserved Hiroshima and Nagasaki because of the rape of Nanking, and German civilians deserved Dresden for the Holocaust, but the Soviets didn't deserve the same treatment for killing more innocents than the Nazis and Japanese combined? Sorry, I don't get your logic.

Tailgunner Joe,

It's not a retorical understatement to ask just what Extraordinary Punishments that God Almighty required of Satan to serve-up to the likes of Lenin, Hitler, Stalin and Mao as they now walk through Hell's firey rivers ... it's probably beyond any Mortal's belief and imagination.

You're right about America's attitude towards a complete (destruction) of Japan in WWII ... that's why we firebombed (several times) all of Japan's largest cities.

In fact, I think I've read that there really weren't that many "suitable" mass urban bombing targets left as the summer of 1945 approached ... most were completely destroyed.

But I digress ...

I believe that most Americans would have been appalled at having to kill 10-25 million Russians in WWII Part-B ... simply because the Soviets hadn't (really) done anything (bad) to the United States.

The "Cold War" and Nuclear-ICBM race were ten years in the future.

Did the Soviet leadership (read the entire Communist Party) deserve to be roasted like pigs for Lenin and Stalin's genocidal purges of MILLIONS of innocent Russians ?

Absolutely Yes ...
