    The Japanese did have a nuclear program that made little progress and was unlikely to be a threat.

    Ultimately your use of the word “should” implies that Japan would not have fought out the battle on the main land. Killing civils is bad, saving millions of lives is good.

                If you are going to add “and its allies” to that question then it’s only fair to ask what Japan and its allies did.

                See Nazis.

                Also see Japan annexing way more than the US ever did, and US hasn’t annexed any part of any sovereign country since wwii.

                US foreign policy has been awful. But nothing even close to what Japan and the Nazis did and hoped to do.

                Warning: graphic rape and mutilation of civilians, brutal maiming of prisoners, forced sex slavery, biological experimentation on humans, ethnic clenasing, and genocide of millions of people by JAPAN.

                The axis powers were openly brutal beyond imagination. It’s not even a debate.
