“Look, we all know the US is a hive of irrational bloodthirsty murderers, so we had to rely on the Soviet Union to be the adults in the room and not provoke them”
I was going to say this exact thing. The influence of the American red scare over Japan, adding on to its already anti-communist tendencies be creating some leaps of logic for sure.
They are calling it the most unhinged Japanese posting week.
Acknowledging that the USA using nuclear weapons was not necessary, and then blaming it on the USSR is insane mental gymnastics.

He’s basically right except the part where he blames the Soviet Union for it instead of the country that actually dropped the bombs.
Might as well blame Japan themselves for the bomb. They could have surrendered faster!
Japan invents a time machine, goes back in time to tell the emperor to surrender sooner and the US drops the nukes anyway.
“We see that you have surrendered, but tbh we really just wanna see how well these fancy new bombs work so we’re gonna pretend we didn’t see that”
100% what would’ve happened
They tried but US was not interested.
folks, there you have it. lenin, the tzar of all russians personally dropped the bombs on the islamic republic of japan.
the opening of the manchurian front was explicitly part of the yalta agreement, what a batshit heap of lies
