Content Warning: Sexual Assault

Today, we talk about the United States dropping two nuclear bombs on Japan, then occupying it for three to five years (depending on whether you define the occupation by American standards or Japanese standards).

Here’s the link to Shaun’s YouTube video, which we referenced in the beginning. This served as our jumping off point for the nuclear bombing timeline and research.

Also, in case you want to read, here’s that Atlantic article that manufactured consent post-hoc for nuking Japan and here’s President Truman’s response, further manufacturing even more consent.

Special thanks to Hengly You for our amazing intro music!
