Thank you for inspiring my new tagline:
Francis is a Nincompope.

Hey Pope

How about doing a photo op instead of Croat Ustashi beheading Orthodox Serb women after they raped them en masses and putting their heads on spikes
Yer boys pardner

Virtue signaling coward bitch

Francis seems to have forgotten exactly who started the war. Or maybe he doesn’t know?

Bergoglio sees everything through his wavy gravy left wing glasses, where the West is always bad and everybody and everything else is always either the good guy or a victim of the evil west.

He’s sure trying hard to ruin Christmas.

I’m sorry. I’m not living in 1897. If someone is offended by the word “asshole” they should grow up and join the 21st century.

He missed a few:

Soviet genocide:
Stalin’s Forced Famine 1932-33 7,000,000 Deaths
>http://www.historyplace.com/worldhistory/genocide/stalin.htm<

Mao’s genocide:
‘killed 45 million in four years’
>http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/news/maos-great-leap-forward-killed-45-million-in-four-years-2081630.html<

Cambodian genocide:
Cambodian genocide of 1975-1979, in which approximately 1.7 million people lost their lives

He missed the precursor:
NANKING MASSACRE

In late 1937, over a period of six weeks, Imperial Japanese Army forces brutally murdered hundreds of thousands of people–including both soldiers and civilians–in the Chinese city of Nanking (or Nanjing)

The percentage of lives lost by atomic weapons v. conventional weapons is minimal. To make his stunt even more ridiculous; the fact that the atomic weapon that destroyed Nagasaki had a yield of 15 kilotons v. payloads of 100 megatons available today.

Franciscus goes into history because it (in his feeble mind) makes the USA & Allies look like blood-thirsty barbarians.

If he wanted to show the ‘fruits of war’ he should have pictured the genocides committed against Catholic and Coptic Christians in many countries that continue today...

The Japanese were among the cruelest enemies we ever had. They beat, starved, and tortured to death hundreds of thousands of people. To this day they refuse to acknowledge their war crimes.

The effects of those two bombs showed the reality of their destructive capability, more than any test results done in a US desert or on an isolated Pacific Island ever could have.

I agree. But I think the certainty of retaliation has done more to deter nuclear war.
