The Japanese civilian population had been indoctrinated into the belief that western soldiers were absolute monsters who would carry out unspeakable acts on them

We nuked them twice after carrying out a campaign of what we cozily referred to as "moral bombing", where we targeted civilian populations to kill the families of soldiers.

We ARE absolute monsters.

The only fair way to solve this is going to be for someone to nuke us for nuking Japan, then someone needs to nuke whomever nukes us, etc...until everyone gets nuked. Then we can get along.

I mean Japan and the US have a pretty solid relationship now, it's just internet weirdos who can't get along, which is probably why a lot of us are on the internet in the first place.

If I gave the impression that I was at all interested in entertaining some western imperialists blog opinion on there being alternatives to targeting civilian populations in war then please forgive me, because that was never my intention and I won't consider such barbaric drivel under any circumstances.
