Tough chit you started it we finished it
It is inhumane not to feel deeply for the horrific suffering of innocent people who suffered so terribly from the nuclear attacks in Japan.
But the U.S.A. is not at fault. The fault lies with the Japanese emperor and Japan’s imperial warlike culture.
Let’s get that straight.
Bummer.
The Sherman War is Hell strategy. The Japanese raped, murdered, mutilated, starved, beat, performed wicked medical experiments on POWs all across the Pacific. In some ways, they made the Germans look like pikers. But unlike the Germans, they have never faced their past with honesty.
What is not ever reported by the LSM is that the Japanese were working on their own version of the bomb. Had they gotten it first ... do you really think they would have hesitated even for a second to us it on the US. Screw the idiot A-bomb apologists.
If so, he might better understand why Hiroshima happened in the first place, and why the Japanese reaped what they sowed.
If Americans were exposed to even a tenth of the atrocities these savages committed to allied troops, they’d tell this guy to go pound sand.
Nanking
Bataan
There may still be a few very elderly Nanking survivors you could try to interview, but that would make Obama look bad so you won't.
Japan has NEVER taken responsibility for any part of that war.
More were killed in the fire bombing of Tokyo, and the injuries were just as horrible. It’s just that the left can’t ban fire (yet), so they stick with nuclear weapons.
For 10 years leading up to Pearl Harbor the Japanese occupied China, doing unspeakable atrocities to the people there...
during that time the Japanese built ammo dumps all over that country...
it is said that the Japanese had so much weaponry that if the bomb had not been dropped, the war may have lasted 10 more years..
I’m just waiting for Obama to issue that Executive Order abolishing all American nuclear weapons. I’m sure its on his “to-do” list.

Is he going to apologize to the Germans too, or are they too handy as an allegory for "white America?"
How ironic that the ultimate evil (Nazi Germany) partnered with an honorary Marxist-Leninist non-white "people's republic" in "the good war," half of which we supposedly should not have won.
And lest we forget, despite the fact that almost all of Hitler's victims were Europeans, he's been adopted as "Mr. Typical Average White Guy" by "indigenous" and "people of color" whose ancestors never had to tangle with him.
The only thing special about the A-Bomb is that it was a single plane delivering a big bang! The Fire Bombings of Tokyo and Dresden were equally horrific in their effect but just needed more aircraft to carry out.
There are few of the WW2 Allied soldiers/sailors/airmen who doubted that many lives were saved in A-Bombing Hiroshima & Nagasaki. It gave the Japanese Emperor and his advisors an ‘out’ to over-rule the Bushido-crazed militarists who hoped to stalemate a clear end to the Pacific War and thus negotiate a better (for them) surrender.
The bloodbath that was Okinawa was a foretaste of what an invasion of the ‘Home Islands’ would have cost in time, lives and effort. The Japanese militarists were convinced that waves of women and children smothering the Allied beachheads while the Japanese soldiers killed from dug-in positions would so sicken the war-weary Allied Nations as to force them to do something other than invading more than once.
Before someone scoffs at the idea of women and children being so dangerous, remember Vietnam and what behaviors they were capable of then. Revisionist history is endlessly critical of the US and the Allies but also endlessly optimistic of what something else could have done. I’m not convinced!
Thank your emperor for bombing Pearl Harbor to get the ball rolling.
