This is a great point made in this column….the atrocities committed by the Japanese against Asian countries more than justifies the use of nuclear weapons to end the war…..because Japanese are non-white, and the left has used race as a tool for so long…the scope of Japanese atrocities during the war are, to a great extent, hidden even to this day…..,,
Why bring this up now, rather than the traditional time of hand wringing over this decision?
The movie Oppenheimer was released in Japan…and some Japanese critics are complaining ………
Absent from the discussion is how the Koreans, Chinese, Filipinos, Vietnamese, and other Asian peoples felt about being colonially occupied by Japan. Often, Japanese “revisionist” historians will try to whitewash Japanese history, in alliance with U.S. far leftists, to portray the U.S. involvement in WWII as “imperialistic against a non-white people.”

Sadly, it did not take long for Japanese Colonialism to far exceed the excesses of British, French, or Dutch colonialism (the major European powers in the region) and kill more people than the Belgians in the Congo.
Things were so bad, that staunch Nazi John Rabe, a German businessman living in Nanking, used his consular papers to help Chinese civilians escape the massacre. The Japanese were so evil that the leader of the Nazi Party’s local branch in Nanking risked his life to save 250,000 non-white lives from the Japanese. Oskar Schindler saved 1,200 Jews in WWII from people like John Rabe.

The Rape of Nanking was merely the tip of the iceberg of what Japan was doing in their “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.” In Korea, many women were sexually enslaved and the local population impoverished so badly by Japanese Colonialism that many other women voluntarily sold themselves to brothels. In Burma, the Nationalist and Founding Father Aung San started World War II believing that Japan could liberate his country from “evil European Colonialism.” By 1944, Aung San had completely switched sides, supported the British, and wanted the British back in Burma due to the sheer amount of war crimes committed by the Japanese.
In India, Japanese soldiers literally committed cannibalism on captured Indian soldiers.

Nuking Japan: nobody asked the enslaved
The discussion about the acceptability of using nuclear weapons usually occurs around August 6 of every year, the date that Little Boy was dropped on Hiroshima; world events have rekindled this discussion outside of its usual season. Absent from t...
