That's post-fact. US was counting on the Japanese to get scared and surrender. The nukes were also meant for USSR to not get funny ideas of invading Japan as America wanted to hold Japan's future in it's own hands firmly. US was already irked with the idea of "sharing" Germany with Soviets, they'd not allow a repeat of that.
My dear, why do you say like this. "Atom bombs cemented US power on the global food chain". The way to say this in reverse would be that US wouldn't have been at top of the world had it not used nuclear bomb. And the corollary to this would be that using nuclear bombs, one can reach at the top of the world.
No, the soviets invaded the LAST source of japanese iron & coal : manchuria.Yeah, the japanese were definitely more scared of the soviets than the americans
It isnt post-fact that Japan surrendered due to Russian invasion & victories in Manchuria. Japan didnt surrender due to being scared. As the actual chain of events show. If they were scared, they'd not have waited nearly a WEEK after being nuked and then surrendered, which 'happened to be' within 24 hrs of Russia winning Battle of Mutachiang, where 50,000 Japanese soldiers died.
1year is quite a short time in respect to Indian standards though !It's been one yearI would have hoped they did adapt
They never stopped using it for missile strikes, but always from a safe distance. What do you think, from where were flying all those Kalibr missiles RuSSia spent?
whats with the capitalised double S in Russia, when its Ukronazis sporting SS symbols, Euro-propagandist ?
That reminds me that RuSSian joke.
at the end of the day,,,,, have you yet counted the end effects?
Correction: After getting their a$$es handed to them by afghan hillbillies, NATO is too pu$$y to fight a near peer adversary, so they have spent 12 years of their military industrial production capacity in 1 year, using Ukrainian Nazis as the cannon fodder against the nation that rid the world of Nazis the last time around.
So you are actually saying Russia should also use nukes on Kiev so that needless loss of lives at the front may cease?
So? Didn't Russian kids joined up during great war. Even my mom and her classmates was trained to handle firearms in her school during 1971 war by the army as her village was near East Pakistan border.
Wrong. Like it or not, allied forces were more civilised. It may be because they were liberating the areas that had alreay seen the horror of occupation by germany and the population welcomed them, but it alos had to do with discipline of the officer cadre. Like it or not, British army, in whose footsteps Indian army still marches, always had a very displined structure and ROE. It is what made them succeed through the centuries. Even German army was very disciplined and rarely took part in mass scale atrocities.
Partially because its entertaining to watch triggered RuSSian snowflakes, but mainly because RuSSia already turned into a fashist state. And policies they boast about (Deukrainization, "reformatting" of the subjugated population - erasing of the original indentity and replacing it with a Russian one) was precisely what Hitler did in some countries he occupied in an effort to create more "Germans"
This is true. There were groups of kids who were pressed into becoming nurses called Himawari were so indoctrinated that they have come on record saying they didn't surrender many times when US soldiers asked them to fearing rape, torture and cannibalism as told to them by the soldiers and instead many chose to let themselves be bombed or gassed.
Dude upgraded from driving toyota to BMW
Of course NATO haven't arrived. They were disguising as mercenaries. You should have asked about the mercenaries.
Although the Americans were very brutal in their occupation of the Philippines.
Sounds like someone on massive amount of copium.
Goes to show that the Russians were trying to be humane and took extra efforts to avoid civilian casualties in the first place. But now there's no point to it. Might as well steam roll over it.
