The biggest mistake the US made

Sorry, this story it is not current events, but I think such things do not have time estimation.

Today the 9 th of August 2015, we live our lives, but 241 000 people had died 70 years ago for no reason. They thought that the WW II was over ... but not for them.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
America believes that its internal and external policies is always right. And this is the biggest of its mistakes. Decided on the genocide in favor of its geopolitical interests - the top of inhumanity. This blood will never wash off from the US history, and the fact that even after 70 years, the US is not ready to admit that committed a terrible mistake says only one thing - the US continues to erroneous and selfish policy, both domestically and abroad.

I am so sorry, I thought we were confident enough to admit the things we had done.
Wow just wow, I am amazed at how kids today are so ignorant of history.

Even most older japanese say dropping the atomic bombs was a good thing, it saved millions of life's. If the USA invaded Japan it would of been a blood bath not seen in human civilization.

You sir or lady is one ignorant person , I am blown away
 
Many of these territories' natives receive considerable financial benefits over other non-native American citizens as well, especially tax and income benefits, some of which many locals do not want to give up if they voted for statehood, so they remain 'territories'. They have a choice, which is the point.
 
Already posted a link to the evidence, dumbass.

A link is not any argument, genius. Perhaps you should try to read this few lines and waste some minutes to try to start to think about before you will answer about the problem "foreign domination".

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

The US annexed Hawaii just like your home country Germany annexed Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Namibia, Cameroon, Gabon, Central African Republic, Chad, Nigeria, Togo, Ghana, New Guinea, Samoa and the Marshal Islands at about the same time.

I guess you speak here about the Brit William and his family who had been Prussian emperors over Germany. Is anything of this all older than 1870 AD? As far as I know Germany had been the only nation of Europe who did not take care about colonialism before this British and Prussian idiots started to try to transform Germany into a kind of New England. The Prussians called by the way also all other German countries which they had conquered "colony". The only real German colony - where really some German seddlers had lived - is Namibia.
It is a totally absurde story how this had happened and also what had happened there in case of the war crime against the Herero. Short: The emperor of Germany had been as a person on his own fully responsible for this disaster - while all other leading Germans - including the officers of his own army - warned him that Lothar von Trotha is a totally incompetent idiot. But the emperor on his own personally gave the military command to this man who had been a shame for his family and a shame for Germany.

Yes, we know you're stupid and think spamming with crap is a big deal. A link to the native advocates themselves and their own poll is most certainly relevant, since it is not an 'argument' but an established fact; you're the moron trying to fabricate some narrative that you can't back up. You can't even post a refutation at all, just babbling rubbish that has nothing to do with the topic. You posers just hope your fake 'moral authority' veneer is really impressive or something, when it fact you just keep proving over and over you have less than zero. We know you're dishonest, so give up that con.

Wait a minute, did he just post as his evidence the opening statements to the Declaration of Independence?

Is that poster even aware that is not actually a "legal document"? And by itself has no legal status? In essence, it was little more then us informing England that we were divorcing them?

But if they actually read it, it was full of statements that we wanted to be independent because we felt our issues were not being addressed, therefore we wanted to have the right to rule ourselves?

And the thing is, every single territory that the US has ever possessed has had that exact same choice. And the vast majority of them decided to become states. There are still a few left, and all have over and over stated they want to remain exactly how they are. Because as territories they gain the protection of the US without having to invest in a military of their own. In addition to all of the trade benefits, and not have to try and negotiate hundreds of trade agreements on their own, or have to worry about a hell of a lot of things independent nations have to worry about.

And it is the same reason that "Nations" like Tahiti remains still part of France.

During and after WWII, a lot of small nations (especially islands) that went independent soon realized that without any form of land trade, the expense of maritime trade and defense was much more than they ever expected. And even nations like Micronesia which are almost entirely independent of the US saw the advantage of remaining in at least some form of alliance where they are protected by the US. And just as importantly, remain with the US dollar (or pegged to it) for economic stability.

That is the problem with those that try to push narratives. They normally have no understanding of reality, and only in their own fantasy.
 
The atom bombs were just another weapon in the arsenal of the winning side. That is all. The number killed was far less then the atrocities committed by the Japanese in their imperial conquests.

The following are a few of the atrocities of the Japanese. Put yourself in the position of the marine that is to storm the beaches of Japan. Put yourself in the position of those who would need to make such decisions. Yes, a lot of people died by one bomb but the fire bombing of Tokyo and Dresden killed more.

Think about what you would think of a people who would commit the rape of Nanking yet are willing to fly a plane to their own death.

Laha Airfield Massacre This ghoulish event, which killed more than 300 Australian and Dutch POWs,

Alexandra Hospital Massacre Just a day before the British surrendered Singapore, Japanese soldiers stormed Alexandra Military Hospital and slaughtered its occupants, including the medical staff and patients. Even those undergoing surgery were not spared.

Palawan Massacre In another case of POW massacre, the Japanese stationed in Palawan Island, Philippines tried to kill all their American prisoners after wrongly assuming Allied forces had invaded. After driving the prisoners into makeshift air raid shelters, the Japanese burned them alive.

Japanese Occupation Of Nauru During their occupation of the island, the Japanese committed a string of atrocities, and a few stood out for their brutality.

Akikaze Executions In what could be argued as an uncharacteristic yet brutal incident, Japanese forces executed a boat of German civilians suspected of spying for the Allies.

Indian Ocean Raid Massacre In the final raid conducted by Japanese warships in the Indian Ocean, the heavy cruiser Tone sank the British merchant vessel Behar and captured 108 survivors. Captain Haruo Mayuzumi relayed his ship’s success to his superior Rear Admiral Naomasa Sakonju, expecting praise. Instead, the admiral berated the captain for bringing along useless prisoners. He ordered their execution.

Sook Ching Massacre Following the Fall of Singapore, the Japanese wanted to mop up all remaining resistance, especially among the Chinese living in the region. To accomplish this, the notorious Japanese secret police Kempetai initiated Operation Sook Ching (“purge through cleansing”) in February 1942.

I-8 One of Japan’s most notorious submarines, the I-8, is best remembered for sinking two Allied ships and for the crew’s terrible conduct in the aftermath. On March 26, 1944, the sub spotted and sank the Dutch freighter Tsijalak hundreds of miles off the coast of Colombo, Sri Lanka. The Japanese took 103 survivors onboard and massacred them with swords and sledgehammers. They then bound those still alive and left them on deck as the submarine dove below. Only five survived the ordeal.

The Death RailwayAs their cargo ships were vulnerable to Allied raids, the Japanese sought an alternative supply line to maintain their forces in Burma. This culminated in the construction of a 415-kilometer (300 mi) railway between Burma and Thailand. The railway used 60,000 Allied POWs and 200,000 Asian conscripts for slave labor. During the year-long construction, thousands died from the grueling working conditions and inhumane treatment. A total of 13,000 POWS along with approximately 80,000–100,000 Asian laborers died constructing the railway.

The Massacre Of Manila Early in 1945, General Yamashita planned for his men to evacuate Manila and fight in the countryside. However, two Japanese admirals ignored his order and committed their men to a final stand inside the city. When the Americans arrived, the Japanese forces realized that they faced certain death and vented their rage on the hapless civilians trapped inside their lines. For weeks, the Japanese raped, pillaged, and murdered. Aside from the bayonets and beheadings, they machine-gunned captives and set fire to buildings with people trapped inside. The Americans ceased artillery strikes so the Japanese could surrender, but the Japanese instead continued their rampage.

10 Japanese Atrocities From World War II - Listverse

Rape of Nanking In December of 1937, the Japanese Imperial Army marched into China's capital city of Nanking and proceeded to murder 300,000 out of 600,000 civilians and soldiers in the city. The six weeks of carnage would become known as the Rape of Nanking and represented the single worst atrocity during the World War II era in either the European or Pacific theaters of war.

The History Place - Genocide in the 20th Century Rape of Nanking 1937-38
Yes but we did not give them a chance to play nice.
 
Did not "give them a chance"?

They never played nice before the war. They sure as hell did not during the war. How many chances did they need?
I was being lighthearted sarcastic.

The japanese were ruthless, and people dont become that bad unless they their mom and dad are the same. The whole culture was ruthless violent barbarions
