one could argue america got them there, and failed to help when it would have been cheap in order to exacerbate the problem, because they VERY much could have been on the other side of that war.

also, fuck america. If you want to bring in world war 2 as 'america good' it is completely negated by operation paperclip and not executing every single member of the japanese royal family. fuck, shiro ishi, possibly one of the most disgusting horrible monsters our species has ever produced, ended up dead of medicine at tokyo university after the war. look up where nobusuke kishii and his family landed, after he ran the 'comfort women' program, and raped so many people that he had a full time assistant just to keep the amount of cum on his sheets from being inconvenient. the americans failed to do anything about either abomination.

the americans, again, chose to let both these men go free, along with the ones they explicitly paperclipped. While individual americans did do very good things for all kinds of reasons, they get no collective points for that war.
