Or is it because we were the first to develop it and the only country to have one at the time and didn't fully understand the consequences?

If Britain, Germany, Japan, Italy or France had developed the nuke first do you think they would have used it during WW II knowing what everyone knew at the time?

Because America is a very violent and expansionist country, however much it tries to deny it.

We didn't drop a nuke to expand our territory, nor did we start the violence that led to us dropping the bomb.

I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion we dropped the nuke because we're expansive and violent.

First, your not making alot of sense here. I suggest proofreading might help.

What part of what I said leads you to believe that I think USA history is untrue? The events in Japan at the close of the war have been debated endlessly since the 40's, you can find many things written by USA writers that are both critical and full of praise for the USA decision to bomb. My personal opinion is that the USA did it with a complex agenda, one that involved their eyeing how the landscape would look post war as well as a concern for casualties, costs and uncertainties of the bomb's effectiveness.

"Plain fucking stupid" is when you are not willing to accept that American Policy is complex and is never a straight line consideration of a single issue. If you for a moment think that the USA dropped the bombs without a myriad of choices and decisions in the War room, then I would argue that you are the one who is "plain fucking stupid".

I've seen Colin try to pass that myth other times too.

hahah

Silly boy.

US $10.3 trillion
Japan $4.2 trillion
Germany $1.8 trillion

China's own National Bureau of Statistics claims they will become the world's third largest economy by 2020. Now how can they do that if they are already the world's third largest economy? Because they are not. China is only $1.2 trillion right now in US dollars.

China's currency is artificially inflated by their government. The EU, Japan, and the US are all putting pressure on them to devalue and straighten it all out.
