Why America Nuked Japan? It Was Not To End the War Or Save Lives.

Non Whites are usually not considered humans by American military. You don't believe me? Go and search the behaviour of American soldiers against Afghan and Iraqi civilians.

We detonated the first hydrogen bomb so we are not impressed.

Then why you signed to end the nuke race?

Yeah they would.

They don't have white superiority complex..

Seems to me the current conflicts in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, etc. tends to show Muslims don't considered other Muslims as human beings.

Beats me, the Soviets agreed to it when they could have easily refused.

Based on Japan's actions in Asia during and pre WW2 it didn't matter if they don't have white superiority complex.

But I thought you guys were the greater humans. The ''civilized'' ones, the one that brings peace and democracy to the world.

Its like to Rape someone to caste out the 'evil spirits'.

Nuking of Japan was the most horrific terrorist attack in human history.

Let us not forget that Japan attacked first, and fought with all its might. USA responded with all of the strength it could muster. Provoking a giant is best avoided, for it never ends well for the weaker party.

We are, just not easy when others keep trying to kill each other. When we say please stop killing each other, you guys say no.

Yeah. It also doesn't help when you have the largest arms industry in the world.

Guns don't kill people by itself, people do.

I thought firebombing was. It created more casualties compared to nuking.



Really? Thought the emperor was their God.

Anyways Japan at the time had warnings and it took 2 bombs to get them to surrender not 1. Also there were Japanese military leaders that decided we didn't have enough atom bombs to keep doing it and felt that they can keep on fighting.

Admiral William Leahy – the highest ranking member of the U.S. military from 1942 until retiring in 1949, who was the first de facto Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and who was at the center of all major American military decisions in World War II – wrote(pg. 441):

It is my opinion that the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender because of the effective sea blockade and the successful bombing with conventional weapons.
leahy,s statement shows that the nuclear bombing was not needed at all but americans used this tactic,this clearly shows that your government had other purposes.

That is his opinion. In reality he is not the Japanese leaders that refuse to surrender UNTIL their divine Emperor intervened and told them to surrender. You know how the Japanese don't surrender that easily. They would rather die than surrender unless otherwise.

oh really:
MacArthur’s views about the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were starkly different from what the general public supposed …. When I asked General MacArthur about the decision to drop the bomb, I was surprised to learn he had not even been consulted. What, I asked, would his advice have been? He replied that he saw no military justification for the dropping of the bomb. The war might have ended weeks earlier, he said, if the United States had agreed, as it later did anyway, to the retention of the institution of the emperor.
his statement shows that americans didn,t cared about the retention of the emperor as they later agreed to it anyway.

Yes really, if you looked up on the Kyugo Incident some Japanese military leaders wanted to keep on fighting even after the two atomic bombs. AND even after their Divine Emperor told them to surrender. Japanese willing to defy the Emperor???

some mlilitary leaders,majority of them agreed to surrender,but uncle sam didn,t saw this.and the naval blockade was working effectively,they would have surrendered in a matter of days or weeks.

Even after 2 atomic bombs some Japanese military leaders refused to surrendered and attempted a coup. That tells us something.
