little tidbit about US and allies ordering Japanese troops to hold their positions in various parts of Asia to fight communism instead of returning to Japan after capitulation

and comand over NATO

USA was a hesitant ally from the get-go, Japan just fucked up the game

The bombs were a revenge for forcing them to fight against fascists

And same thing on the Pacific Front: MacArthur kept most the murderous Japanese war criminals and Zaibatsu on the line. But hey, at least he executed Hideki Tojo and and some other war criminals who owned him too much on the Pacific.

“The United States didn’t defeat fascism, it discreetly internationalized it”: an all-time banger quote
