One of the most horrendous crimes against humanity, if not THE most horrendous, were those two bombings.

Why you are denying basic history, i will never understand.

Basic history…lmfao. All you know is what you were told in government school. You’ve failed to learn anything since.

 

[MinTrut]

Yeah America is so great when it massacres defenseless women and children of a nation trying to surrender. We are so proud!

Horrendous, and horrendous that so many still justify and excuse this blatant terrorism.

 

[gipper]

We used them to stop a war. And they worked.

Wrong. Get informed old man before it’s too late.

 

[Godboy]

Basic history…lmfao. All you know is what you were told in government school. You’ve failed to learn anything since.

Uhuh, i guess we should be learning history from your fucktard sources? No thanks.

 

[MinTrut]

You’re uninformed like most Americans. Japan had been trying to surrender for months.

Stop agreeing with Einstein, Eisenhower, and Jesus that these bombings were wrong!

 

[gipper]

Horrendous, and horrendous that so many still justify and excuse this blatant terrorism.

It is. How they can be so easily duped into believing massacring defenseless women and children, proves the power of the State to deceive can’t be overestimated.

 

[gipper]

Stop agreeing with Einstein, Eisenhower, and Jesus that these bombings were wrong!

Can’t fix stupid.

 

[MinTrut]

Proving once again, you know nothing.

Willful ignorance in service of the exceptionalist fantasy - it's grotesque.

 

[MinTrut]

Can’t fix stupid.

Einstein had a great comment about human stupidity, speaking of!

Hope and peace from a people that started war.

 

[MinTrut]

And it was wrong.

You do know Truman agreed to keep the emperor, which was the only thing Japan asked for, but after he murdered all those defenseless women and children with the two bombs. If you don’t, you’re uninformed.

And that's the thread win.
_______________

Fun fact about the sociopath Truman:

He wanted the US to fight alongside Hitler against the USSR if the war had gone Hitler's way.

He's right up there with Pol Pot.

Uhuh, i guess we should be learning history from your fucktard sources? No thanks.

Please just admit you don’t know anything about this topic, other than what the State told you.

These are “fucktard sources…”…lol

“The use of this barbarous weapon…was of no material assistance in our war against Japan.” —Adm. William Leahy, Truman's Chief of Staff

“It was a mistake.... [the scientists] had this toy and they wanted to try it out, so they dropped it.” —Adm. William “Bull” Halsey

“the Japanese position was hopeless even before the first atomic bomb fell, because the Japanese had lost control of their own air.” -US Army Air Forces, General Henry “Hap” Arnold

“It wasn’t necessary to hit them with that awful thing.” Ike…ever heard of him?

“the atomic bomb had nothing to do with the end of the war at all.” -Maj. Gen. Curtis LeMay

 

[MinTrut]

You should read up on Operation Downfall. The proposed invasion of the Japanese mainland. Conservative estimates had 200,000 US casualties and 5 million Japanese dead.

Irrelevant; Japan was on its knees and begging to surrender.

Einstein also opposed its use.

And Jesus, obviously.

What did Gandhi say about Christians?

 

[MinTrut]

Propaganda designed to cover up Truman’s war crime.

Did you ever ask yourself, why do we need to invade?

C'mon now!

We needed to show our USSR allies that we had the bombs, and thought nothing about using them in the two most horrendous acts of terror in human history.

Get with the program!!!!

USA!

USA!

USA!

 

[MinTrut]

You do know that the Japanese attacked the US first ? The things they did to China, the Philiphines and Korea where horrifying.

Uh-oh.

What awaits the US and its citizens after the numerous war crimes committed by our nation in the name of The People?

9-11 just a warm up in the payback department?

 

[gipper]

Irrelevant; Japan was on its knees and begging to surrender.

Plus an invasion was entirely unnecessary, but statist imperialist dupes can’t comprehend this. Japan by summer 1945 was no threat to anyone. They were a starving defenseless nation.

Actually before the bombs they asked for 1) No occupation, 2) They disarm themselves and 3) no war crimes trials, and 4)keeping the emperor.

My grandfather was slated for the 2nd wave of the proposed invasion, Bombs away in my book.

 

[MinTrut]

So our government is justified in doing horrific things to them? What are you 12 years old?

I thought the US was better than that.

According to his logic, evil deeds deserve evil deeds in response.

If this is true, the US is in BIG trouble.

There just aren't enough bomb shelters...
