During one day in WW2, 130,000 Japanese were burned to death.
Number of Americans charged with a war crime as a result: 0
Are you aware that a very large portion of Japan’s industry
was destroyed by fire-bombing prior to the use of two
nuclear weapons. We’re talking a large number of cities.
Japan refused to surrender. After the first nuke was
dropped, the Japanese refused to surrender. After the second
one dropped, they did agree to an unconditional surrender.
We didn’t have to sacrifice tens or hundreds of thousands
troops to force Japan to surrender.
After the war, the United States helped Japan get back on
its feet. It’s a very prosperous nation, and it came back
from WWII relatively quickly.
We did not take control of the land and keep it. We let
Japan have its nation back, and run it as a reasoned
growing nation.
If you think China is going to be more kind than we were,
good luck with that.
