This assumes that an invasion was necessary. Given the fact that Japan was reaching out to the USSR to surrender before the USSR entered the Pacific theater, something Japan knew they couldn't survive, no invasion was necessary to end the war.The problem was 'the other' with them vowing to fight to the death. Each man, rooted out one by one. Lots of our soldiers would have died.By 1945 Japan had no offensive capability, they lacked fuel for warships and pilots for aircraft. Kamikaze don't win wars, they just stave off defeat for a little while. In July and August 1945 US carrier aircraft bombed and strafed everywhere in Japan at will with almost no opposition. The end was coming soon one way or another.

Harry S Truman’s Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb (U.S. National Park Service)
What Did Harry S Truman Have to Say About His Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb?
At the time, the president seemed conflicted over his decision. The day after the Hiroshima bomb was dropped, Truman received a telegram from Senator Richard B. Russell of Georgia, encouraging the president to use as many atomic bombs as possible on Japan, claiming the American people believed “that we should continue to strike the Japanese until they are brought groveling to their knees.” Truman responded, “I know that Japan is a terribly cruel and uncivilized nation in warfare but I can't bring myself to believe that because they are beasts, we should ourselves act in that same manner. For myself I certainly regret the necessity of wiping out whole populations because of the ‘pigheadedness’ of the leaders of a nation, and, for your information, I am not going to do it unless absolutely necessary.”
The decision was made to drop the atomic bombs to end the war before the Soviets could intervene effectively.This assumes that an invasion was necessary.

Trump has said he wants to kill children, mothers, wives and babies. Perhaps that's why he is so in love with Putin.
Of course he did. How can you not know that?Trump has said he wants to kill children, mothers, wives and babies. Perhaps that's why he is so in love with Putin.
Trump never said that.
What's wrong with you.

Your kind always pretends ignorance. Eventually, facts have to soak in. Pretending ignorance and stupidity. Don't you know when you pretend that, you are actually lying?

Terrorists?
Terrorists are scum, terrorist and helpers are criminals.
The killing of children and women in Aleppo resulted in the assassination of the Russian ambassador in Turkey by an angry Muslim.
No, the deaths in Aleppo were war casualties and morally justified as part of waging just war.
The Russian ambassador was assassinated which is morally bankrupt.

Unless you are surrounded and can't leave. Then what?The killing of children and women in Aleppo resulted in the assassination of the Russian ambassador in Turkey by an angry Muslim.
No, the deaths in Aleppo were war casualties and morally justified as part of waging just war.
The Russian ambassador was assassinated which is morally bankrupt.
Yup big difference between war casualties and the deliberate killing of an ambassador.
Civilians have been killed in every war ever fought and will continue to be killed in every future war.
Fighting in your area?? Get the hell out of the area.

I've shown declassified source documents showing that the U.S. government knew about Japan reaching out to the USSR to surrender prior to the USSR entering the Pacific theater and the dropping of the bombs, and I've given quotes from actual military leaders and others saying that they knew that it was unnecessary. But sure, the public statements of politicians must certainly be more reliable than all of that.We could chose to believe you over them man that made the decision but you haven't explained why we should.This assumes that an invasion was necessary.

Obama has literally killed children, mothers, wives, and babies. So why is talking about those things terrible, but actually doing them apparently ok?Trump has said he wants to kill children, mothers, wives and babies. Perhaps that's why he is so in love with Putin.
Yes, if they're going to bomb your home you better know about it and get out of there.The killing of children and women in Aleppo resulted in the assassination of the Russian ambassador in Turkey by an angry Muslim.
