Reply to comment by Mrsbrainfog in Martine Vik Magnussen: Billionaire’s son admits role in death to BBC by msemen_DZ
For normal people probably but for a billionaires son who probably uses the people there as play toys I doubt he’s having a bad time. Probably gets away with much more heinous shit there too

It would have. Getting an army big enough to invade by land that close to mainland Japan would take months, possibly a year or more. They’d easily make more atomic bombs in that time too and would drop them on the other critical targets. The Japanese would inflict some damage but the damage the Japanese would have taken would have been much worse. The damage done by the bombs was terrifying. Japan was ready to fight an invasion force before they saw the damage from the bombs. They knew more would be on their way eventually if the fighting kept going. It also takes about 2-3 months to create the bombs so there is no way we’d be “out” of atomic bombs for long

Ah yes because I’m sure they were expecting the war to stop after those two and weren’t manufacturing more already just in case. Plus even if they weren’t at war, they were the first atomic bombs that worked and were the deadliest weapons in history, of course the government is going to build more until they get regulated

Other than matching his clothes and the hair thing with one strand down his face they don’t look similar at all. Eyes, nose, cheeks, hairstyle, etc are all different
