@Ahmback,

To be brutally honest, it was "kinda justified" because Imperial Japan was proving stubborn even after the Germans had surrendered during WW11. The Japs kept on fighting (and we know that many Nigerian and West African servicemen were on active duty against the Japanese in Burma [now Myanmar]. The Africans in the Colonial Armies fought bravely against the hardened Japanese).


On the other hand, the targets in Hiroshima and Nagasaki had NO MAJOR MILITARY facilities or significance [just like the Allied bombing of civilian targets in Dresden, Germany, popularly called the "fire-bombing of Dresden." Over 100,000 innocent German men, women and children died and were burned and/or partially burned to ashes during the several air-raids on Dresden].

War can be that brutal!

I can't see the difference in mental inferiority between you and the current Japanese people. There has never been stubbornness and cruelty as displayed by Nazi, Germany was so powerful that only the half decade intervention of several ally forces stop them from destroying the world but because the west and Germany are two similar group of people they were never bombed with nukes.
This is extreme of hypocrisy. There is no aorta of justification on the nuke bombing and US should've faced similar treatment in UN Security council as Germany.
Japan was bombed after Germany surrendered, why didn't they do the same as they did to Germany because Japan wasnt as powerful as Germany?

See how the mentally retarded, mentally inferior Japanese PM is derailing from telling world the truth. US and West should have solved the issue of escalating war between Russia and Ukraine by respecting the earlier demand and agreement between them and Russia that NATO should not expand to Eastern Europe, that is all!
Can't the idiot PM clearly see the intimidation of other Nations by US as in the case of Taiwan and Ukraine? Ppl eace is bigger than ego. Democratic Party is a big disaster to the world!

Don’t give me a definition from Google, give me your definition and explanation.

“The war is already a loss to the Japanese with Soviet entry, the civilian bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a weapon test and war crime...” This statement here is the most accurate and correct statement which the whole world/ real international community knows.

The USA alone in in the past century till present as killed most civilians in the whole world directly and indirectly. You are free to quote me and disprove my claim but please do with intelligent evidence. We are here to educate ourselves not not trade curse words and insults.


Why does the USA go to different corners of the earth to cause mayhem?

Below is a picture of the Secretary of State at Kosovo and few weeks later there was unrest between Serbia and Kosovo..

You can see how Nancy pelosi went to cause mayhem at the South China Sea which has caused unrest between China and Taiwan(which is a part of China)

We all know how Victoria Nuland helped the coup in Ukraine in 2014 and also Kamala harris speech which encouraged the puppet in Kiev who thinks he can join nato… it’s all history now and Russia is liberating the Eastern part of Ukraine while Poland is amassing the western part of Ukraine stylishly.


No matter how much they lie to you concerning the Russian-Ukraine conflict, the truth is coming out gradually and it will shock all of you that have been blinded by western propaganda

It was a shock on CNN(the masters of propaganda) that roger waters exposed their propaganda, hopefully the cnn anchor won’t get fired.

Yeah! This is the reason why annual memorials are done for those servicemen who passed on in that horrendous attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii by Imperial Japan.

The Japanese too were busy colonising and invading nearby countries, raping women during the invasion of Nanking Province in China and behaving dictatorially in the 1930s and early 1940s. Japan being resource-poor wanted access to mineral resources such as crude oil and metals so they had to invade Korea, China, and other lands to get these resources.

They miscalculated, attacked Pearl Harbor and... Boom got hit by the United States with the two atomic bombs on August 6th and 9th, 1945.


But then the Japanese learned some punishing lessons from that atomic bombing experience via radiation, body deformity, blindness and cancer. May it never happen that mankind has to go through what the Japanese went through again.




The attack wasn't justified because the Japanese government were already preparing their surrender documents to the US but the US were frustrating all their efforts to surrender because the US was determined to use/test the new weapon on the Japanese to send a strong message to the Soviet Union. The atomic bomb was meant for the Soviets but the Japanese were used for experiment by the US.

US used that act to potray themselves as super power, thats all. cant believe some m.ofo are justifying it quoting pearl habour attack, what an excuse!. so USA couldnt locate the military facilities of japan, and bomb it to smittens along with the personnel in retaliation? the devastaing effect of that bomb may take forever to heal, same as the effect of agent orange they used in vietnam.

I'm not trying to justify or support otherwise, but putting things in perspective with respect to time, one can make more logical sense out of the whole disaster.
At the time, the cost of invasion of Japan would have been very costly, for military (both Japan and the allied), civilian and materials alike.

Today, August 9th, 2022 marks the 77th year of the atomic
bombing of Nagasaki.


The atomic bomb was meant for another nearby Japanese city, but because of very heavy clouds, the bomb was dropped on Nagasaki and it landed in a valley thereby
preventing a firestorm like what happened in Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945 and Dresden, Germany in 1945 as well.


President Harry Truman also gave
a recorded speech before the second atomic bombing telling all Japanese civilians to leave the cities because of the imminent bombing (which today would definitely have amounted to war crimes under current international laws). About
75,000 Japanese residents of
Nagasaki lost their lives in the bombing which even missed it's original target and landed in the valley in Nagasaki.


Iran and other fundamentalist and renegade countries
MUST be prevented from having high-grade uranium for military use. Russia, North Korea and China must be prevailed upon to learn from the horrendous events of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to prevent mankind's rapid decimation, and eventual descent into fighting with sticks and stones.

Period.

With the Soviet entry, the war is already a loss to the japanese and they're bound to lose more territory and even an occupation of their main island just like German...

The Soviet entry into the
war was a significant factor in the Japanese
government's decision to surrender
unconditionally, as it was made apparent that
the Soviet Union was not willing to act as a
third party in negotiating an end to hostilities on
conditional terms...

It's not easy to fight on two front not when you're faced with super powers on both front... I still maintain that bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki civilian population is not necessary and a war crime...


But Japanese attack of pearl harbour wasn't a war crime.

war crime has been in existence since the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 for international wars bro.

And let me also remind you that German generals such as Eric Von Manstein, Von Leeb, Herman Goering and Adolf Eichmann were all tried for war crimes after the second world war.

War crime charges are somehow delibrately made to be applicable to war criminals of selected nations. The US has committed crimes during war in recent past, but we have not seen US soldiers been brought out and made to face war crime charges, and can I please ask why?

the rape of nanking was one of the worst atrocities committed against humanity no doubt about that. But At least Japanese were charged with war crimes and executed after the war.

Do you also know that during the occupation of Germany US, soviets and British soldiers raped about 190 thousand German women between the ages of 14 and 65 years. Young German boys trying to protect their mothers and sisters from being raped where shot and killed right in front of their mothers.

It should also be noted that an estimate of about 700 thousand German civilians were killed by US and soviet troops during the invasion of Germany? but US, British and soviet soldiers did not face charges of war crimes for this after the war, can I please ask why?


@the bolded. That is the injustice of war. All the major powers that participated in WW2 committed war crimes excluding China that was defending its territory from invaders. But the conquered were the ones charged for war crimes meanwhile the victors also committed war crimes too. The American General Curtis Lemay said one thing after the war.

If I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal -General Curtis Lemay

He was very right. He was the one who supervised the fire bombing of Japanese cities with incendiary bombs that led to many civilian deaths. It was a deliberate attempt to force Japan to surrender. It was a war crime.

The western allied powers committed atrocities on a large scale. The Fire bombing of Dresden and Operation Gomorrah also known as The Bombing of Hamburg. These were deliberate targeting of civilian populations with incendiary bombs that incinerated a whole city, villages, towns as a means of forcing Germany to surrender with the accompanied rape that followed.

If Nazi Germany had won WW2 USSR, U.S, Britain, France, and other allied countries would have been tried for war crimes by Germany too. Only the victors dictate rules after war.
