#1 Heh, heh. The NorKs aren't the only ones who are getting rather worried by Japan's re-emergence. Doncha know the ChiComs are wondering about all those plans they have for The Middle Kingdom... Back to the drawing board, boys.

Mebbe Japan should invite more Tiawanese officials over for some go tournaments...

#2 KCNA will have to get the Sea of Fire guy back, if he hasn't starved to death yet.

#4 All right, I have a question.

Did we nuke Japan in anger?

Was the 2nd bomb just because we had it lying around and could?

Over at EU Referendum Nosemonkey wrote that and I strongly disagreed.

Then he has a problem they can't say boo w/o our approval.

Bombing in anger isn't the 1st time I've heard it. I need ammo.

#5 Japan needed a shock to get them to surrender. There was still a bunch of die-hards in the military that said no to surrender. The first bomb made the point.

The second bomb reinforced the first.

The third bomb was going to be armed and ready, but the second one did the trick.

The message of complete and utter destruction finally got through. A lot of Japanese lives were lost, but in the grim and gristly arithmetic of war, a lot of Japanese and allied lives were ultimately saved. That is my answer to Nosemonkey, a2u.
