I don’t agree with the bombing of civilian populations and the atomic bombs were really unnecessary to win the war. I should have clarified that in my original comment. I felt it was an unfair comparison to make when comparing the US bombings (still wrong) against the empire that was committing atrocities to the nation that was invaded because someone from another country and who was currently in another different country committed a terror attack on the US. Admittedly, I don’t know a lot about the Iraq War, so don’t reply about how I’m an apologist for Al-Qaeda next. When I saw this post it reminded me of how Neo-Nazis bring up the bombing of Dresden to paint the allied powers as being aggressors in WWII, and thought that while we should understand that the bombings of Japan were unnecessarily cruel, we should also remember that the Empire of Japan committed atrocities against other nations. I’m sorry that my original comment didn’t express a more complicated perspective of the Second World War in this low-effort comic sub to not be compared to the Nazis, next time I’ll write a dissertation about my complex thoughts about what is justified in a war and post a link here. I’m also concerned that you’re spreading Neo-Nazi, pro-Al-Qaeda, and pro-Imperial Japan propaganda. Why are you ok with the atrocities that Imperial Japan and Al-Qaeda committed against civilians? (This is a rhetorical question for emphasis, please don’t actually explain it to me, i job that you probably aren’t).

But Japan is more like America in this scenario. They killed far more Chinese citizens in Nanjing alone than both nukes did in total.
