“It’s bad enough that our kind has had access to nuclear energy - which we have already used to murder innocents on a grand scale.”
The Rape of Nanking was worse. The savage destruction of Manila was worse. The fire-bombings of Yokohama, Tokyo, and Dresden were worse.
A little perspective is wanted.
Don’t be so defensive, it’s not an anti-American sentiment, but rather a fact. If the Japanese had nukes, they would have used them. ANYONE would have.
That’s the problem.
The entire species is rotten when it comes to that.
Nobody would have done any different.
