What is the argument that the war would have ended in a few months? Is it that the US would have reached Tokyo by then? Or Japan would have surrendered before then? Both are hard to believe

The fault of this event lies on Japan, not the US. Japan was the aggressor who started the war. Japan was "fighting to the end" and gave no indications it would surrender. It is estimated that the war would go on to 1947 had the b

Japan was the one who started the war. Japan was the aggressor. Defending yourself by winning a war against an aggressor is not a "wrong". Many more people were saved by dropping the bombs than people died in it. And, while it is

Virtually all Israelis, both men and women, serve in the IDF from 18 to 21 years old. So the criticism is that Meta employs 100 Israelis out of its 74k US employees? That's 0.1%. The Indians and Chinese immigrants cover a much larger p

Wait, you were on a team match with Meta for 9 months? That's insane. Is it because you wanted a team in NYC? How common is it to pass the interviews but fail team matching there, if you can work in the Bay Area?
