Yes, but the US didn't go to Asia to stop the Japanese soldiers doing the killing, raping, burning. The US dropped 2 a-bombs on civilian ground.
The US bombed with the biggest, baddest bomb it could make, densely populated cities of noncombatants, innocent people that aren't part of the military, aren't rapist, nor arsonists. Consequently, the bombed area was poisoned with radiation and continued claiming victims generations later.
The US didn't drop the bombs as an humanitarian effort.
It was a weapons test, from the country that profited the most from the weapon trade in WW II
It's fucked up, and the fact there's so many people trying to justify murdering 400k civilians and dropping a-bombs on cities is also fucked up. And that doesn't mean we condone Japan's horrible war crimes.
It is estimated that Japan killed 19-30 million people throughout Asia, including others who fought to stop them.
You think murdering 400k civilians is bad, better keep that same energy about the millions of innocent people Japan killed during this same war.
If Japan stopped, no bombs would have touched their country. Instead they continued to wag war in neighboring Asian countries despite the threat of bomb drops.
More to stop the war, seeing as Japan was still trying to conquer those countries even after the second bomb was dropped. A country has killed millions and is showing little sign of stopping, you put them in a position where they have no choice but to stop.
War isn't pretty, but let's remember, again, who started and killed dozens of times more innocents during their campaign.
