Hiroshima Remembered (70th Anniv)

I keep forgetting I'm arguing with someone a generation or two off a collective farm where his starving peasant grandparents ate boot leather and tree bark soup, drank themselves blind and had smelly unwashed sex on a pile of state owned straw.


.

i got lucky, he put me on ignore. just like he's ignoring the documented atrocities committed by the red army. they are unspeakable and certainly posting pictures of them here would be grounds for banning.

A floridian redneck tries to arguing me w/o any real evidence (a picture of a video)? Are you really that dumb, clown? Everybody can Google for the US rape and civilian murder, but there is no such a media about Red Army. Why? Care to explain, clown?

Our friend CyberSEO is fond of link-bombing everyone to support his arguments, which are invariably always anti-US or at very least anti-west. Here's a few that might be of use to here, to those fond of asking "why?" regarding the nuking of Japan to end the war, and why specifically those cities were chosen....

Description of the Cities Before the Bombings | The Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki | Historical Documents | atomicarchive.com

Particularly: Hiroshima was a city of considerable military importance. It contained the 2nd Army Headquarters, which commanded the defense of all of southern Japan. The city was a communications center, a storage point, and an assembly area for troops.

And: Nagasaki had been one of the largest sea ports in southern Japan and was of great war-time importance because of its many and varied industries, including the production of ordnance, ships, military equipment, and other war materials. The narrow long strip attacked was of particular importance because of its industries.


And with regard to their civilian populations there is a quote taken directly from a Japanese report; "Probably more than a thousand times since the beginning of the war did the Hiroshima citizens see off with cries of 'Banzai' the troops leaving from the harbor."

To quote another old saying, "Mess with the bull, get the horns." Japan may be among those who top the list in all of history as learning the meaning of that saying in it's most extreme sense.

DynaMo is right. The other important lesson to be had here really is that starting something as big as Japan did can have immeasurably higher and long lasting consequences. Any world leaders in future looking to "start shit" need only look to Hiroshima & Nagasaki for all the reference they need. And here's hoping the conclusion they draw from it continues to be "Best not."

boooooommmmmmmmmm

I don't give a shit on the US. You can write hundreds of screens on how the USA are good and how Russia is bad, but once again: we have tons of videos of Nazi and US war crimes in Goggle. Show me at least one involving the Russian Red Army. Is that so difficult for you or what?

fuck its about something else you porn pigs

You're throwing punches every which way now. This part of your argument was with L-Pink, yet you're firing off at me about it. I did tell you to read and try to keep up, did I not?

Well as it happens 'goggle' is your friend too...

Plenty more out there, these are just the first few that came up that contain well-documented and backed-up factual accountings.

Were Hiroshima & Nagasaki legitimate military targets? Absolutely.
Did the war need an "ending"? Yes.
Do innocent civilians suffer because of the aggression of their political leaders? All the time.

I've always been more embarrassed as an American of the treatment of US citizens of Japanese descent during WW2 here in the US. Property taken away and imprisonment in interment camps - and nary a crime committed.

Amazing how in 70 years we went from stripping US citizens of their basic rights to establishing "Sanctuary Cities" for illegal aliens. I guess some call that progress.
