You know damn well if the Japanese did the same to the US, everyone responsible would be considered a war criminal.

Japan deserved it. When you consider every other alternative, Japan needed this.

Consider this, would you have been okay with a Communist Japan taken over by the soviets? Russia did not care for the body count and were in the process of invading northern Japan until America dropped the bomb and put all of this to an end.

Japan owes us for Fukushima killing the Pacific.

Apologizing for things that happen in war is the cuckiest of cuck moves.

Look how much better Japan is post bomb. They should be thanking us.

Pretty sure Obama already apologized.

No, he wanted to but the Japanese refused, it doesn't serve their interests for their strongest ally to look like a straight up bitch.

*Kikest of the kike moves

>YFW Japan had to bitchslap your president so hed act like a man.
>TFW it didnt work.
so can we hang him for treason? Still the punishment right? straight from the highest yardarm in annapolis harbor

>Does the US still owe Japan an apology or some sort of reperations for the atomic bombings? Why or why not?

Nope. A projected Allied casualty count for the invasion of Japan was from 500K to a million. There were plans for the use of fire bombs on Japanese cities, chemical weapons (neither Japan or the US were signatories of a treaty banning them. Japan used gas weapons in China) and herbicides on crop lands. Russia planned on invading and taking the northernmost island which pushed schedules urgently. The projected death rate for Japanese was in the millions, counting military and civilians.

>You know damn well if the Japanese did the same to the US, everyone responsible would be considered a war criminal.

Actually, there was a project to fire-bomb the US and Canada with fire balloons. Thousands of 'doomsday weapons' were sent to ignite millions of acres of trees. They turned out to be a dud and only did minimal damage.

>It deeply shames me as an American

You're a brain-washed idjit. It was a total war.

No, he said it's up for historians to decide whether it was justified or not.

No.

why do you feel shame for a decision made before your time that you were not involved in making?

do you actually believe in collective responsibility or something?

i bet your the kind of person who would jump at the opportunity to raise another man's child or something. i suppose you also feel shame that some wealthy landowners had slaves in the southern US too.

oh fuck you. if you knew half of what the japanese didnt to south east and eastern asia in the name of “science”, you would know that they deserved the nukes they got, and are blessed they didnt get more, let alone the whole of their nation taken.

get back to me when youve had the meat torn off your bones while you watch. even better, let me know how you feel after your vivisection.

theyre fucking lucky they got what they got, and theyre wise to have surrendered.

the japs may be fascinating, but we know that deep down theyre no better than their chinese neighbours.

Not for Hiroshima, potentially Nagasaki since it was clearly more of a test than an actual deterrent not to mention it was not the original target.

>Airdrop pamphlets saying surrender or get bombed in an attempt to save civilians from being around the bombs
>Japanese government makes mere possession of one of these pamphlets a crime punishable by death
>Durrrr it's America's fault the Japs refused to surrender and got nuked

No. Nuclear weapons crossed a line. They meltted people's eyes out, caused their skin to hang from their bodies, and walk like zombies hoping for death. If they managed to survive, turns out they die anyway due to radiation illness.

Other countries did fucked up shit in WWII. America should be held to a higher standard, it shouldn't have sunk to Japan's level.

Fuck Japan it was either come to terms or we exterminate you its called Total war for a reason. The entire island was preparing for fight at the time. Not to mention are fire bombing was for more horrific and effective then the Nukes where. You start a war expect to get your shit kicked in.

>America should be held to a higher standard, it shouldn't have sunk to Japan's level.
You're clearly a fucktard whose opinion on anything related to warfare should be disregarded.

Japanese aren't niggers or kikes, they have pride.

Obongo tried to. Japanese officials told him to fuck off

We helped rebuild their country and have their back when things with South Korea inevitably go to shit.

>wahh, total war is awful

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Apologizing is for pussies. Nanking should have been worse.

You guys always have some top notch banter online.

Watch Grave of the Fireflies, it will open your eyes. I understand the importance some of these tactics played, had a mainland invasion of Japan occured, I probably wouldn't exist, since my Grandfather fought in WW II and would have participated. There was no reason why we couldn't just blockade the country, they would be forced to surrender eventually anyway, especially when Russia started attacking them.

Weird shit happened that week, I don't think it could've been worse, I mean any ideas?

>drop the bombs
>thousands die
>blockade the country
>thousands starve to death
Yes, that is much more humane

Japan doesn't care. It's done. I've spoken with people who were children during the post-war era and they are genuinely thankful to the US. Do you know those old movies where someone is freaking out and another character slaps them and then the one that got slapped calms down and says "Thanks". That's basically how many people see the war here.

No one talks about the bomb other than it sucked and they hope that it is never used on anyone ever again. Even the Peace Museum here doesn't try and make it seem like some overtly evil act, rather that war sucks and people should avoid it as much as possible. I also think there is quiet recognition that if Japan started complaining about the bombs, that it would only bring up Japan's actions during the war.

>Does the US still owe Japan an apology or some sort of reperations for the atomic bombings?
no

>Why or why not?
war is hell

>It deeply shames me as an American
kill yourself weeb

I could say 9/11 was more merciful than DACA.

Japanese are human, not goblins. What do you think, kike-chan?

Chill out nippon-user.
We frens nao.

You also owe us and the italians reparations for firebombing.

japan owes a lot of people an apology for unit 731.
that was the real holocaust. Honestly we didnt nuke japan enough.

Soros helped slaughter 1000s of Jews and yet you take his money and are not ashamed

Japanese arent the type to beg for handouts or sympathy. Theyre too busy being innovators and winners. Now black people on the other hand....

Fuck the Japs. If nobody apologized for burning Richmond, they better sure as fuck not apologize to the nips.

naa he's just a weeb
that or a troll

Japan was the aggressor. You aren't expected to apologize for kicking the shit out of a dude who sucker punched you.

Giving an apology would probably be a nice gesture, but a sincerely misguided one, especially when you take stuff like and into account.

So no, we are under no obligation to give one and Japan doesn't really even want one. I'm not saying that chapter of history has been closed, or that there aren't still remnants of the atrocities committed by both sides that haunt us to this day but more that both nations have since then joined together, built a bridge over it, and quietly contemplate what happened as they stand atop it looking at the waters running beneath them.

Burned wops? lol sorry about the smell

>tell them failure to surrender will lead to "prompt and utter destruction"
>surprised when 2 cities feel the wrath

The only apology we should give them is a third. Two were obviously not enough.

...

Third plane into the new world trade centre.

Do people really not understand that more people would have died if we didn't drop the bomb.

>I've spoken with people who were children during the post-war era and they are genuinely thankful to the US.
I don't know how it is in Japan, but people that were children in the post-war era here are completely brainwashed on the topic. What the Americans did in that regard is much more evil than any war crime that either side committed.

You are one of those people who it is cringy around asian people....arent you

>watch muh cartoon
>we should starve them to death over the span of months/years rather than end it in a few weeks

Hague Tribunals are for people that lose wars.

And no, we don't owe them a fucking thing.

We owe removing our military bases from their country and allowing them their sovereignty. That's better than an apology.

didn't smell that bad
the grease made it smell like a big fryer when they cooked

Japan is the only major non-white non-meme country with a standard of living from top to bottom in it's society rivaling the western nations, and it's because of us after WW2

Thats way more reparation than soullessly handing over some checks, patting yourself on the back, and calling it a day

no, the war would've become many many more times bloody had we not dropped the bombs. it's war, deal with it. if they didn't yield then we probably would've dropped a third or a fourth or so until they gave up

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cherry_Blossoms_at_Night

Japs got what they deserved.

I think you need to be glad it happened in its infancy of development when only one side had them and it was like (fullstop/period to you amerilards) to WW2.

The fact it forced them to a capitulate and brought about the end of the war for you is a good thing for everyone.

It was a chance to show the world what they are capable of without everyone also having access to retaliate bringing about world wide nuke fest.

Look at it now, theyre japs, resourceful and got the fuck on with it and have their own problems but kind of the same problems most of the world has.

After everything Japan did leading up to their defeat, they deserve 12 atomic bombs. Then when the dust settled, they should have gotten 12 more. Fuck Japan, and Fuck any Japanese apologists. Then Fuck Them Again.

FUCK YOUU DORPHIN AND FUCK YOUU WHAAAER

Most Japanese despised the war by that point and knew they lost.

It was literally just a dozen or so fanatics holding the country hostage, they even tried to kidnap the emperor to keep him from surrendering.

>I don't know how it is in Japan, but people that were children in the post-war era here are completely brainwashed on the topic. What the Americans did in that regard is much more evil than any war crime that either side committed.
Even if you scream "hpolohoax" surely you know all Russian POWs, millions, were murdered in cold-blood by Germans, and Russian civillians were murdered, unless they were beautiful women, in which case they were gang-raped to death. This whole "Germany was honorable in WW II" myth needs to end.

Go to any city occupied by Germany in WW II today, as an American, and the locals will still treat you like a rockstar. Three young Belgian women banged me at once last time I visited when I was staying in Hamburg (and that isn't a troll, they literally met me at the memorial for the seige of Bastogne, told them my Grandpa was there, instant sex).

>Go to any city occupied by Germany in WW II today, as an American, and the locals will still treat you like a rockstar
Hahahahahaha
You got to be a 70 year old man or some shit. That hasn't been true in decades.

Have you been to Bastogne?

The young girls grow up hearing stories passed down about how fucked up shit was until the Americans arrived.

Universally, I was thanked for my grandfathers service, even though I obviously wasn't even there. They grow up hearing about it. In Normandy, a lot of girls wear skirts made from US paratrooper's parachutes and still fantasize about them. I learned that in University from a professor who met those girls.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
you're caught in a lie and you keep making more and more shit up

go back to your cuckoldry thread on /gif/ faggot

None of that shit is made up, though.

You are just (falsely) assuming it is, because it makes you uncomfortable to believe it.

"The truth doesn't care about your feelings"- Ben Sahapiro

Winners don't commit war crimes. We won and that's all that matters.

Killing yourself, OP, should satisfy the Japs.

they gave them two nuclear bombs, that's plentu enough

They attacked us first, and we were at war which means pretty much fair game in terms of conventional war. And we had the only nukes, there's no "no nuking countries" treaty yet. Also we basically swept the rape of Nanking under the rug and turn a blind eye to their war crimes.

Go and neck yourself you absolute total plebe-cuck-ass-rimming-faggot. The nuclear weapons were glorious, The only downside to the use of nuclear weapons at the time was the fact we did not have enough. American exceptionalism dictates that Japan should have been turned into a glass parking lot. There could be a whole country of rc model airplane fields to use and Godammit! they fucked it up due to a lack of materiel. Godammit!

If Japan landed a single bomb on the north american mainland they would have been erased from the map

Killing 200.000 civilians and ruining their dna with radiations for the next 90 years IS a war crime no matter how you turn it. The US has never apologized nor recognized any war crime they have done since the indian genocide (even this i'm not sure if the gvt have recognized it as genocide). Love the american ppl and your country but your army is literally the fucking devil

STFU vichy france

Go offer your wife to Hans you baguette slurping faggot

There were no war crimes until after WW2 had already ended
Sorry bro

My Uncle witnessed the Nagasaki blast while working slave labor at Omuta Fukuoka POW Camp 17. Fuck the Japanese. My only regret is we didn’t genocide the entire Japanese race.

You could be next faggot. The Japs needed a solid bitch slap to mark them for generations. They are an ugly race with a twisted sexual side. All that scat porn and loli shit along with incest and faggots fucking little boys.They are a fucking cancer. We should have genocided the nips and moved koreans in to take over.We could have also sent all our niggers there to die in a high Sievert hell. We missed a golden opportunity which will never come again. We were so close to absolute glory and we fucked it up. It makes me cry with rage. A cobalt encased device would have been ideal. Today a follow up neutron emitting munition would also be good. The japs are dying out anyway.

>Helped them rebuild
>Shared some tech
>Now they're an economic powerhouse and doing better than us, own a bunch of land on Oahu and dominate the auto industry
No.

You are a faggot.

We were too good to japan. Weshould have kept or feet on the yellowniggers necks.

They already struck back with the weeaboo psyop, we even now

I will take devils over cock gobblers any day. Patton had it right about you bunch of sorry faggots with shit personal hygiene.

Fuck no. They started shit, and they deserved what they got.

>There was no reason why we couldn't just blockade the country, they would be forced to surrender eventually anyway
They already wanted to, but we wouldn't accept a conditional surrender because those nips deserved to have their empire dismantled.
>especially when Russia started attacking them
This is exactly why we needed to act, otherwise it would have been the Japanese War instead of the Korean War where half of Japan would be Russian sympathizers fighting the other half of American sympathizers. We were already slow enough to where those communist bastards got their foothold in North Korea and look at what happened there. The Post-WW2 world was a race against the clock to pick up as many pieces of the Axis countries as we could before the Soviets started doing the same. You have to think rationally, we understood that there was already more at stake than just defeating the Axis, and taking more time to do it would have only cost more lives in the long run.

It was tough love.

In 1982 I met the man who took this photograph. He was living in NC & I interviewed him for the TV station I was working at. I remember thanking him.

FUCK JAPAN.

Fucking spaghetti nigger.

They would never have surrendered. We would have sustained substantial casualties.
One American soldier > hundreds of thousands of Nips.

Americans are not ashamed of winning

Also, if the Japanese did the same to the US, everyone responsible would be dead. As would be the entire rest of the population of Japan.

Dear Japan, we are sorry for not invading Nippon and killing at least ten million of you. Furthermore, since the Soviets were going to invade from the north, we are sorry that they didn't also kill millions and rape all the women as they did in Germany, and that they didn't hold the territory as they planned and turn northern Japan into a North Korea situation.

Signed, the only power to ever fight a major war after being surprise attacked and spending billions to get the enemy back on its feet so it could wipe out our auto and electronics industries through unfair trade practices

no bomb

no Godzilla

you're welcome

>Does the US still owe Japan an apology or some sort of reperations for the atomic bombings? Why or why not?

Civics homework?

I'd argue no. The reconstruction of Japan, and the continued role of the US in keeping Japan from becoming part of china are what's called for.

Actual Japanese people don't even want this shit.

They tried to take over the world and attacked the wrong country. Start small then build up to the large countries. They fucked up. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

There were well over 100 POW Camps on mainland Japan during WW2. The list of atrocities that Japan committed for decades shocked the world & continues to shock. We should have dropped 100 nuclear bombs on Japan, and then dropped 100 more.

FUCK JAPAN.

>My only regret is we didn’t genocide the entire Japanese race.
Would you truly want to live in a world without anime?

Then go apologize faggot. No one's stopping you.

No. We don't mention Nanking either; Seems like a fair deal to me.

Japan also started the conflict with America via sneak attack, raped the Chinese and did crazy medical experiments on them, and refused to surrender well after it was clear they lost. They are in no position to demand an apology for how we decisively ended their awful war.

they could've surrendered at any time

Some faggot would invent that shit. Faggot.

FUCK JAPAN
