    Not true. Japan was definitely the Bad Guys. US was able to commit more violence then they were.

      The US wasn’t the good guys against Japan. They just were slightly less bad for about 5 years before and 6 months after.

          Or they know that there weren’t any “Good guys” around.

          The Japanese war crimes are well known in the West. The US ones are routinely glossed over or ignored.

          Wars don’t determine who was right. They determine who’s left.

            There are no evidence of US war crimes even coming close to Japan, Germany or Russia at the time or superceding it. Where are the tens of millions of bodies, rammer? Where are they?

              You’re joking, right? Nazi Germany wishes they could commit genocide in the scale of the early US.

                True, but that was long ago. If you’re gonna play that game we need to delete every single country except for like a few.

                  Not really, most other countries revolted and enshrined human rights,and even started to try reparations for their crimes. The US doubled down by medically experimenting on the black population after WWII.

                    And what of the countries that continued to make a bunch of genocide happen? That happened to be communist? And still are? And still are killing people? They are a bigger problem than what us was.
