If not for the atomic bomb, would the US have defeated Japan?

US should think about this before trying to fight against China or Russia. Firstly, I find it ironic how the US media is talking about all the young men who left Russia to avoid mobilization when in fact half of Americans say they would either leave the country or not fight if the US was invaded. China has 1.3 billion people and yes, they have nukes too. The US couldn't even defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan. Lost to the Vietnamese. There's no way we could even defeat China. I doubt we could defeat Russia. American men are too busy wearing makeup and making silly TikTok videos. They're not ready for war.

I'm often amazed that some users on SW talk about things with such authority and yet know fuck all about the subject.

@Ontheroad ikr these posts are mind numbing lol like Japan's fate was sealed regardless of the atom bombs and that's basic WW2 knowledge, and on the topic of the US being invaded, that's borderline impossible. Russia is failing against Ukraine and China would have its hands full trying to amphibiously invade Taiwan, let alone a superpower on the other side of the world

@Ontheroad If you have an issue with what I've said then respectfully enlighten me. Don't be an old asshat.

@TheArbitrator Try researching before talking about things you know nothing about. When you've done that, come on back and we can talk. This old asshat is tired of spending time trying to fix stupid.
