  1. Bro Imagine going through with Operation Downfall only for it to be so costly that nukes were needed either way.

  2. World War 2 was the most destructive event in human history so I can understand where they come from. I just wish they weren't so willing to talk about things that they don't have enough information on. There is nothing wrong with saying IDK.

  3. Occupation of a hostile country with a brainwashed people that was just invaded, poisoned, and maybe even still nuked anyway.

  4. Truman had nothing but impossible choices. That being said I completely disagree with his later escalation of the arms race into hydrogen bombs.

  5. Before even watching this video, I doubt the allies could even successfully pull off an amphibious landing that would have dropped. Then the allies + the Soviets would have to subjugated a cult military that is fighting to defend its own mainland. Finally, the occupation woulda taken countless decades of brutal insurgency fighting until the very last man, women, and child thanks to brainwashing. The Romans look like the French compared to the Imperial Japanese.
