Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.
Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?
Nuking Japan was in proportion and in service to the United States’ legitimate military objectives.
Is this actually an unpopular opinion? For sure horrible like all things in war, but I understand that the alternative was an invasion with a hell of a lot more casualties.
Should the USA have invaded Japan instead?
The imminent threat of an invasion (assembled in staging area and ready to go) could have been tried before. It would have been very costly, but would have been necessary anyway for an actual invasion if the nuclear bombs didn’t cause a surrender (there was a coup attempt to prevent it, so it was never a sure thing even with the bombs).
No cause if we invaded japan how would we scare the soviet union?!! Those japanese children whose entire families were burnt to a crisp in nuclear holocaust were needed in order to scare big bad communism
Wait, what do you mean the soviets stole the nuclear secrets from us?!! What what do you mean that France figured out the creation of nuclear weapons all on their own?? The freakin zionists have them too?!!!
Dw, this isn’t an unpopular opinion, OP is just the most intelligent democrat voter
68 civilians died in pearl harbor.
140,000 died in Hiroshima.
I wouldn’t call that in proportion.
I upvoted you because I vehemently disagree with your opinion. It’s kind of skirting the line on being straight up evil
I’d say this is not an unpopular opinion. It was (and I believe still is) US govt position on these events. It’s also wrong
