It wasn't clear; to me it sounded like you meant at the same time. Hence my confusion.
In that case, they certainly aren't as war weary as the other factions, and have taken comparatively light losses. The bigger question is what sparks the fight and whether there is unanimity among the allies about the need to pursue the option. If there is dissension among the political and military leadership, that opens up the door for more issues than anything else.

Still, I find thatcontinental Europe turning red slightly more likely, as Atomic Bomb Production wasn't quite high enough, and Soviet Industry was safely removed from the front line so as not to be damaged by Allied attacks. Still, not a question for this thread. Regardless, the Soviets cannot support the Japanese in any significant way, and the Japanese cannot hope to break out past the allied navies, so without forces to force a surrender, the war will become a large siege that functions more as a holding pattern until Japan is willing to come to terms.
