‘US government documents admit that the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not necessary to end WWII. Japan was on the verge of surrendering. The nuclear attack was the first strike in Washington’s Cold War on the Soviet Union. Ben Norton reviews the historical record.’

    So, if it were your family living under Japanese rule, being raped and enslaved, you’d happily wait? Yes or no answer.

      It did not end the war sooner and only killed houndreds of thousands of innocent civilians. Civilians that also suffered under the fascist yoke. So yes I would wait, because I am not a monster without empathy.

      Dropping the bombs brought noone back to life, brought no justice to anyone, nor prevented any future atrocities. It was an act of incredible brutality.
