WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Representative Mark Pocan (WI-02) announced plans to introduce the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy (ELON MUSK) Act. The legislation would direct Federal Agencies to terminate any contracts held by a Special Government Employee, similar to bans for Members of Congress and other federal employees.
Most seem to agree that Japan had already lost before the nukes. Whether it would have been “better” than dropping the bombs and how long it would have taken is the bigger debate.
How far would Russia go once it turned its eyes on Japan? And once, or if, they began pushing the Japanese out of mainland Asia would that change US strategy?
How long would the Japanese populous endure famine and starvation before revolt? Would they even revolt?
Would the US do a land invasion after seeing how much, and how long, Iwo Jima and Okinawa took? Or just bomb and blockade?
Would any of the three even try and get the others to a table to negotiate some form of peace?
Who knows since it is all speculation.
