‘US government documents admit that the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not necessary to end WWII. Japan was on the verge of surrendering. The nuclear attack was the first strike in Washington’s Cold War on the Soviet Union. Ben Norton reviews the historical record.’

      Please explain, in detail, why the lives of the Japanese civilians in Hiroshima were more important then the lives of the Korean/Burmese/Chinese people being killed every day?

        Please explain, in detail, why the lives of American civilians in the twin towers were more important than the lives of middle eastern people being killed every day?

        Do you see how horrific and crazy this sounds? Using your logic, you can justify killing civilans of most countries, hell using your logic France deserves to get nuked out of existence because of what they are currently doing to West Africa.

        Thankfully we shouldn’t use this logic.

          The Japanese Empire was killing a lot of civilians. Chinese civilians, Burmese civilians, Vietnamese civilians. Explain to me why their lives shouldn’t be considered important?
