Personally, I've never bought the Soviet Union comparison. Putin wants to go further back. He wants to be czar.

I think the point is that while it was probably necessary to end the war, it was still one of the most horrendous things ever done. Did it save more lives by forcing Japan to surrender, probably, but it has a more lasting legacy than just ending the war.

No, it wasn't. Japan was willing to negotiate, the Allies only continued the war so they could get unconditional surrender from Japan.

Bullshit. The Japanese wanted to keep Korea and Formosa, states they had conquered. 

So what you are saying is, the Japan was willing to negotiate but the Allies nuked them so that they could get an unconditional surrender instead?

Conditions as laid, Japan kept it's conquered nations. This would be a violation of the Four Freedoms, in particular "Freedom from fear". Would you let Austria continue to be in the hands of Germany?

NEGOTIATION:

: a formal discussion between people who are trying to reach an agreement : an act of negotiating

Synonyms
    accommodation, compromise, give-and-take, concession

They could have started by saying that they want USA for themselves but they could have agreed to much, much less in the end. We will never know.

Never heard the term "truscum" before. I take it that's a way of referring to transpeople in general? And that the blue haired person is a radfem?

[RavynousHunter]

"Truscum" is a way of referring to transpeople who tend to not look favourably on those who claim to be trans while not experiencing any dysphoria, one of the hallmark symptoms.

After seeing how well the treaty of Versailles worked out why would you let your opponents have anything when you had the opportunity to neutralize the threat permanently for a fairly small cost. (and in case you're wondering, this is why the bean counter is the most dangerous person in the army)

Oh gross.

Vaguely political.

I've heard that the majority of gamers are female actually.
And yeah, saying gamers are made up mostly of Douchebags would be wrong, gamers are mainly decent people it's just the ones who are douchebags are so loud it ruins the experience for non-douchebags.

I'd say that's true for a lot of groups.
