‘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.’

    It doesn’t matter how atrocious a county’s leaders and their conscripted goons are. Innocent masses of civilians don’t deserved to be dehumanized and wantonly slaughtered.

    And also, it wasn’t just Japanese people that died in these bomb attacks. Plenty of these migrant slaves that the Japan colonized died in them too.

    By this logic, if thousands of Japanese civilians deserved to die in nuclear hellfire because of their fascist rulers, what horrific retribution do innocent Americans “deserve”?
