Jill Stein, who is seeking the Green Party nomination for President, said that President Obama should apologize during his trip to Hiroshima for the use of nuclear weapons against Japan by pledging nuclear disarmament.
Dr. Stein also urged Obama to listen to the testimony of the survivors of the nuclear attack, who have dedicated their lives to the elimination of nuclear weapons so that no one else should ever experience the hell on earth they survived.
"The existence of nuclear weapons threatens the survival of humanity. I pledge to eliminate all such weapons as an urgent priority," stated Stein.
Despite his pledge 7 years ago in Prague that the US will "seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons," Obama has supported spending $1 trillion over the next 3 decades to modernize the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Stein said she would cancel this program and instead dedicate those funds to meeting human needs and preventing catastrophic climate change.
Stein said that as President she would forego new missile bases in Japan and the Asia pivot, ask Japan to uphold their peace constitution (article 9), and would take Russia up on its previous offer to reduce nuclear weapons to 1000 each, followed by comprehensive talks for all nuclear nations to abolish all nuclear weapons..
The U.S nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 indiscriminately incinerated tens of thousands of non-combatant children, women and men. By the end of the year more than 210,000 people – mainly civilians, were dead.
Today there are more than 15,000 nuclear weapons, most far more powerful than the bombs dropped on Japan. 94% are held by the U.S. and Russia, Last year The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the hands of its Doomsday Clock to three minutes to midnight citing the "extraordinary and undeniable threats to the continued existence of humanity" posed by "unchecked climate change, global nuclear weapons modernizations, and outsized nuclear arsenals."
Who do you mean ‘nobody’’? There isn’t anything about WW2 I don’t know.
I say go to hell communist pig.
Jill Stein, who is she again, one of the Australian Nurses in the Bangka Island massacre?
No, must be one of the Korean "Comfort Women", or maybe one of the mothers that was bayoneted with their infants in Nanjing.
Yeah, that's it.
The WWII Japs were lower than animals, similar to what we are seeing with the muzzies. They deserved the bomb. The Japanese military needed two hits before they would quit.
I’m wondering if the topic of US Army personnel burning Atlanta to the ground in 1864 could be brought up, and if the President could be brought in to apologize for that.
Ask this handwringing, lying, filthy, America-hating liberal if she has ever heard of Pearl Harbor ???
There are more important things for her.
Like, being committed.
Why is it that so many aging leftie women wear their hair like 14 year olds?
From her Wiki bio: “Stein has been highly critical of Israel, accusing the Israeli government of “apartheid, assassination, illegal settlements, blockades, building of nuclear bombs, indefinite detention, collective punishment, and defiance of international law.”
Tojo & the Imperial Japanese Army were doing nothing more than flower arranging & origami when the evil B-29’s appeared overhead.
That woman looks like a straight up fruit loop. The only thing that ninnies like this excel at is passing judgment on long dead people that had to make decisions of monumental importance at a time when faltering or succumbing to doubt would’ve meant millions of additional casualties. Our leaders like Truman knew that it was them or us. Thank God they had the courage to win.
Interesting that the full spectrum of Japanese atrocities against enemies real or imagined, parallel everything the Nazis did, but got nowhere near the publicity.. Conceivably because Japan was forced to pay the price for War Crimes immediately-—no Nuremberg for them
Keep talking, honey.
Of course, like now, the lives of the military that would have died in an invasion do not mean squat to the leftists. Anyone stupid enough to be in the military deserves whatever happens to them.
Jill, talking anus says what?
When Democraps talk about nuclear disarmament, they are only talking about the US (as in unilateral disarmament).
What we did was necessary. If we had not bombed Japan, we would probably still be fighting, as the Japanese culture was to never give up. They were relentless. To them, it was Japan or bust.
We busted them.
If it wasn’t for the bombings, they would still be a semi-closed society. Instead, they are an electronics, hi-tech, powerhouse.
Sure, right after they apologize for Pearl Harbor, Coral Sea, Midway, Battann, the Philippines, the Aliutians - every time and place they attacked us. For every single American they injured or killed in a war they started. Maybe after that. Maybe. I’ll get back to them in a hundred years or so on that nuclear apology.
She’s as bad and as dangerous as the gray-haired bitches in Europe, particularly Britain.
The Nip/Jap attack on Pearl Harbor started it all. How some apologies forthcoming from them? Many innocent women and children died by that ignominious act.
The combined death toll of civilians for the battle of Manila was approximately 100,000 to 500,000, most of which was attributed to massacres by Japanese forces.
Some historians, citing a higher civilian casualty rate for the entire battle, suggest that 100,000 to 500,000 died as a result of the Manila massacre on its own, exclusive of other causes.
