The good guy in a war is the guy who is better than the bad guy. That’s usually it.
Keep in mind, at least in Germany the only people “remembering” the Dresden bombing are Nazis. They seek something that relativizes their crimes - and other nation’s war crimes against them that pale in comparison are the way to go. I presume Japanese fascists are similar in that regard.
Not really, most other countries revolted and enshrined human rights,and even started to try reparations for their crimes. The US doubled down by medically experimenting on the black population after WWII.
We’re on .world, which has covered up the Israeli genocide of Palestinians and is about to require all posts be congruent with the US government standard of facts; as such you’ve reached the end of the discussion that can be done on this instance. I’m happy to continue on a better instance not run in a fascist country, or in private messaging.
.world admins are based in the US and all infrastructure is based in the US, meaning sooner or later it will get the Tiktok treatment wherein either it’s shut down or has to promote and censor what the US govt wants. In the US, via meta, x, or Tiktok you can’t search the phrase ‘Donald trump rigged the election’ it will show no results. The first act of censorship of the new admin.
Or they know that there weren’t any “Good guys” around.
The Japanese war crimes are well known in the West. The US ones are routinely glossed over or ignored.
Wars don’t determine who was right. They determine who’s left.

The 105000 in Tokyo not enough? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Tokyo The 25000 in Dresden not enough? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Dresden The 246000 in Hiroshima and Nagasaki not enough? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki Post war casualties? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties
But those civilian casualties aren’t in the millions unless you count the post war casualties. That makes the US a “Good guy”. Right?

You’re joking, right? Nazi Germany wishes they could commit genocide in the scale of the early US.
