Richcreed:
To be sincere it was all shade wrong! dropping a newly invented weapon that no one at that time could accurately predict the extent of its carnage and destruction! on civillian population far away from war zone, not once but twice within space of three days! cmmon it was wickedness from the deepest pit of hell! why dropping the second bomb? after such devastating effect of the first one! 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.

The most outstanding thing in all these is that Japan could still forgive US

Ahmback:


But the killing of US men is justified, right? Bushmeat!
To think the U.S weren't even fighting the war cause they saw it as european tribal shit.

@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!

Passionate888:
And you didn't hear that some soldiers never wanted to surrender? That the Japanese uses civilians as a human shield? That those places bombed where industrial cities that enhances the Japanese economy and military might

Mrkindness:
USA attracted the attacks themselves because they were hungry to enter the war. It was a planned calculated move to justify why they went into the war.

Danmisra:
This was an act of terrorism, why would America nuke Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I don't know but, has any country nuke another country beside America? Just imagine it were another country especially US enemy, the way US will continue to insult, blame, castigate and impose different types of sanction on them

Originalsly:


The US was unofficially involved in the war when Pearl Harbour was bombed. The Pearl Harbour bombing was used to officially declare war on Japan.

On trying to justify dropping two nukes on Japan... why weren't the
nukes dropped on Germany to end the war early? I'm hoping for a reasonable response to this question.

BIGDADDY000:


YOU ARE SUCH A KNOWLEDGEABLE, RESPECT SIR!

Thanks again.

All the best.

Actually the German Jew (who later fled to America in the 1930s and became a U.S.citizen), Albert Einstein was a co-creator of the atomic bomb and was involved in the Manhattan Project leading right up to the U.S. becoming the first country with an atomic bomb.

Einstein is on record to have said the atomic bomb can destroy cities so the Americans led by Einstein,
President Harry Truman and others knew the destructive effects. This is the reason why Harry Truman is on record to have told Japanese
civilians to leave the cities because of the imminent atomic bombing.
agree with that , still twas first time such was used, but why not use it on war front, why on innocent civillian population? they could have bombed the jap military base to ashes instead

Ahmback:


Well Germany didn't attack Pearl Harbour!

Bentizil:

Japanese attack on pearl harbour is wrong but US bombing of the civilian population of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing over 200k civilians is a war crime and not necessary... The Japanese already wanted to surrender but needed the Soviet to act as intermidiary.... The Soviet were the one posting them because of their ambition in the east...

Passionate888:

So when they finally surrendered, did they use the Russians or they approached the U.S.?

Selfmotivated posr115560177:
Japan buy market by carrying out the Pearl Harbour attack. The whole of Hiroshima was decimated and no crop could grow on it till date...

Originalsly:


Hmmm...... so why didn't they drop the bombs immediately after Pearl Harbour was attacked?

FuckSilly:

You're only being brutally Stu. Peed and not honest.
99% of the bomb victims were innocent civilians.

It's like Nigerian army fighting with a country and the country retaliates by bombing down your state killing you and your entire generation.

HOW IS THAT JUSTIFIED?

SOME DAY, I KNOW JAPAN WILL STILL TAKE THEIR VENGEANCE u USA.... SOME DAY.

Bentizil:

Stop trying to justify to justify US terror attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it say a lot of you guys hypocrisy... Hundredth of thousand of people died bro damn...

No amount of pearl harbor attack can make US bombing of civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki justified..., Japan was bound to lose against the allied. Couple with Soviet entry, they've no chance...

Say things as it is, US bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki isn't justified and a war crime..

Some say the U.S' attack on Japan wasn't justified! What do u have to say about it?

@solasoulmusic,
After reading and looking at the vast history and sequence of events on this planet, we can NEVER have physical peace here... we can ONLY have inner peace though.

Most folks who are not yet aware of themselves are trying to grab what belongs to others, and invade into the space of other people. This is a planet of warfare and extremes... of cause-and-effect, good and bad, hot and cold, day and night, male and female, tall and short

Jokerman:


The Germans weren't the ones who bombed pearl harbour my brother

AlphaTaikun:

@Originalsly,
Germany had her own share of the horrendous fire-bombings of the cities of Dresden and Hamburg in 1945 by the Allied Air forces led by the RAF.

Japan was definitely hit with the atomic bombs on August 6 and 9, 1945 because their military heirachy was proving very stubborn [they permitted the use of kamikazes or the use suicide plane crashes in warfare] and didn't want to surrender... last but not least, the Japanese are of a different ethnic stock from Asia and [b]not of European descent. [/b]not of European descent.

It finally took up to August 15th, 1945 for the Japanese leadership led by Emperor Hirohito to surrender so as to prevent any further plan to bomb Tokyo which is the seat of the Emperor and his family. There was even a coup by some radical Japanese troops [which was foiled] to stop Japan from surrendering. Some of the Japanese military commanders commited suicide according to Japanese traditions as well to avoid surrendering.

These are just my thoughts from reading these facts of history for decades now.
