      I will bet dollars to donuts this person is the exact kind of person who chortles with zero reflection at the “Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted” quote.

        In their defense, they don’t know any other historical events, so there must not be any.

        As an aside, Americans love to gloss over the fact that the US nuked two cities full of civilians. Even in the one instance in the past 80 years that they’re on the right side, they still can’t help being evil bloodthirsty demons.

          Worth noting that the conventional bombing campaigns against other cities had already been going on for over a year and killed more people than the nukes (though the nukes did have a higher percentage of people in the bombing zone killed).
