And so therefore it had to carry out a land invasion? Can you explain why this necessarily follows?
My man, do you have heard about the second world war? The axis, the allies? Should we just lay on our backs and let them roll over us? No, it was an unjust war started by Germany and the Soviet union, and then Japan.
What part of having Japan's military annihilated, their cities firebombed, and their population starving is "letting them roll over us"? The war was won already. Why was it necessary to carry out a land invasion?
To defeat them totally. That was their goal. You can argue about it, but it could have been not enough if a land war wasn't done. Like apeasing doesn't work, only strength.
But for that you'll have to read up a lot on history itself and more, I do not have an answer to that question, and I suspect those who pretend to, do not fully understand the question itself.
