my evidence was opinion, YOUR evidence was opinion....
sensing a pattern here?
you DO know what an estimate is, right?
Are you retarded? My evidence is source documents, there is NO opinion in them. They are recorded words of the actual participants. Some are intercepts of message traffic and some are Government documents. There is NO opinion in them at all. They are cut and dried fact.
Here lets try again you dumbshit.
Before we dropped the first Atomic Bomb, there is no evidence, no document, no radio intercept , no offical offer by Japan to surrender. There are intercepts that show Japan wanted to broker a deal with the Soviets that would have ended the war with Japan unoccuppied, no government change, no foreign troops on their soil, all possessions still controlled by them theirs, etc etc. No disarmament, no trials for war crimes, on and on. NO opinion in them at all, clear precise words , instructions given from Japan to the delegate in the Soviet Union.
After the first bomb was dropped we have the official records of the japanese Government that provide conclusive evidence that the Army, that controlled the Government REFUSED to surrender. The part of the Government not in control , in desperation went to the Emperor. He became worried about the potential of more bombs and the destruction of his people and the Country. But he did not intercede except to voice a desire to settle the matter.
After the second Bomb and the Soviet declaration of War, we have the Japanese Government documents that prove once again the ARMY refused to surrender. Again THEY controlled the Government. Again those that wanted a surrender went to the Emperor. This time he agreed that a surrender MUST occur. The army attempted a coup to prevent his broadcast of the surrender.
None of these things are OPINION. They are FACTS. Supported by SOURCE documents.
Now unless you are now going to claim that somehow the Japanese Government was going to do what it did not do even after 2 bombs an invasion was inevitable. So remind us again how no Japanese civilians would have died between August and the Invasion due to fire bombing, starvation and lack of fuel to heat with. Remind us how no civilians would die charging allied positions with bamboo spears in human wave attacks once the Invasion was launched. Remind us how no civilians would commit suicide when the Americans began capturing their towns, villages and cities. Remind us how these things are all just supposition, that we have no evidence this would happen.
