‘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.’
oh you mean the folks liberated by the Soviets? that were subsequently terrorized by the US military? because the US had shown the world that it was willing to nuke civilians for no reason, those people?
so let me get this straight, US nuking cities is good in your opinion even though it achieve no military objectives according to US military leaders? but the US invading and occupying Korea and Vietnam is not contextually relevant?
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.
