When was the west ever Nuked

These kinda memes tend to rely on passive prejudice and ignorance to hit.

I mean tbf, while I do hate how civillians die from it, it was mostly the imperial japanese government's fault.

The japanese soldiers were committing massacress on my homeland (China) and if the US hadn't nuked japan, a lot more people would've died by the hands of those imperialist pigs (the soldiers i mean, I have nothing against japanese civillians). It would've takes months and perhaps years to actually invade japan, all that while japan commits mass rapes, pillaging, looting on my homeland. I mean national pride and "honor" is a strong thing in many East Asian countries, even in current timeline, we still had a lot of Japanese Holdout, without the nukes, Japan would've not surrended for many years and all those years of suffering for all those people in occupied areas by the imperial japanese military around Asia. And even with the first nuke, they didn't fucking surrender until the US had to do it again.

RIP to the innocent civillians at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but its their government's fault for waging this war of destruction.

In the last days of WW2, the Japanese military were getting children to make sharpened bamboo spears and training those children to attack American soldiers on sight. The elderly and women were told that they should kill themselves before potentially coming under American control.

The Japanese civilian population had been indoctrinated into the belief that western soldiers were absolute monsters who would carry out unspeakable acts on them should they become prisoners (ironic considering the IJA/Ns actions during the conflict).

In the battle of Saipan, hundreds of mothers leapt from cliffs with their babies in their arms to evade capture, men would slit their children's throats and booby trapped the bodies to injure Americans and then themselves fought relentlessly, before mostly killing themselves or being killed to prevent capture.

The level of blood shed at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was unprecedented but it did in fact save untold Japanese civilian and American soldiers' lives.

Crucially, even after the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima Japanese High Command still refused to surrender.

*edit: all you 4edgy5me America Bad commenters really need to do some reading about Japanese atrocities during the Pacific War here are some suggestions:

We are literally the only country

Yeah that's why I hate the nationalist "we" that you're using here. I didn't have shit to do with nuking japan. Zero respect for those terrorists.

France nuclear bombed Algeria lots of times and nobody makes such a big deal of it.

It’s called bigger gun diplomacy
