Happy V-J Day!

[JosephStalin]

76 years ago on this date Japan surrendered to the Allies on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay.

Sure don't see much about this in the media today. Wonder why.

Millions of men, women, and children sacrificed and died to make V-J Day possible.

"Those who don't remember their history will have to repeat it." I don't want to repeat such history. That's why I remember my history. So should all of us.

The war was righteous, but the peace was squandered.

The Jap war criminals got off lightly. Zaibatsus and pre-war political order not thoroughly reformed.

Lost China to the Reds.

Lost the East Indies, Indochina, and all the other colonial possessions to the natives.

Nukes built By Nazis
Nazis allied with Japan
Nukes dropped on Japan
Nazis nuked their ally.

Must have still been salty from the Russian betrayal

Thank you for telling us, JS.

Glad to be of service. Haven't seen Joey saying anything about today being V-J Day in the USA.

Lest we Forget. Happy V-J day!

Wild how those who ran Unit 731 got away with it

I still thank God for the atom bomb, my grandfather was a soldier who was about to be shipped off from Europe to Japan when the surrender happened. Kept Grandpa Dag from being among the dead in Overlord.
