Of course this narrative is not new, and happens to completely ignore the Chinese people who were being constantly murdered and raped while Japan was “powerless.” The bombs, if they did anything, saved a million Chinese. But of course maybe they don’t matter, since Mao killed 30 times as many years later.

Just finished Dan Carlins Hardcore History on Japan in WW2, and he said some of the people who were the angriest about the Japanese surrender were their generals in China because they were still “winning” in that theatre at the time.
