Oblama is going to let Japan know that he is finishing the job they started, just with a lot less smoke.
Susan Rice is a freaking robot liar.
Less than two or maybe 1% of Americans understand why the Japanese gave up. only a fool would deny the atomic bombs had a major influence but in fact they were not the biggest influence.
the most important aspect of the Yalta agreement was the decision of the allies that within 6 months of the fall of Adolf Hitler the Soviets would Aid in on the ground in the liberation of the Japanese home Islands.
American intelligence reports at the end of the German campaign suggested that instead of the Soviets simply expelling the Nazis that they would also stay on in Eastern Europe permanently as occupiers with a view of the non-soviet West as new permanent enemies.
everyone knows of the hostility between North Korea and South Korea and many remember the hostility and division between West Germany and East Germany but what I am saying is that there would be a North Japan in the Soviet sphere armed against South Japan armed by the Americans.
the trump card presented by the atomic bombs provided lucky way to race against the clock and keep the Soviets out of Japan as required buy previous signature.
the Japanese realized that if the Russians were in on the peace in Japan that there would be no way they could keep the emperor system; they would be hung just as the old czar had been.
the Americans wanted to exclude Russia and Japan wanted to avoid Russian demands for a hanging.
that is the reason for the dropping of the atomic bomb and the reason Japan give up.
In seems in whatever Obama does, his goal is to purposely stir up conflict and divisiveness where there was none before. He pokes old wounds, or creates new ones, using cheap political slogans, a few highly politicized operatives picking on manufactured or overblown events, and simplistic media narratives.
Many saw it coming before he was President, in his own writings about himself and his statements. Now, in his final months, its all the remains of his administration. We are swimming in the race-mongering cesspool Obama has filled for us.
When the Obama WH needs a straight-faced lair they have ‘ol Susan R as their go-to mouth piece. She has to be a masochist to openly allow her self to be so abused... She is the ultimate punch line to the “How do you know when so-in-so is lying?” joke.
If any reporter has any nads they would ask Susan if Obama will pay tribute to Paul Tibbets as part of his itinerary. Good bet she won’t even know who he is.
I'm waiting for him to say that Truman made a bad decision.
The White House is trying to co-opt as many of Trump’s issues as they can: veterans, sanctuary cities, help for the middle class . . . I’m sure there must be more.
We need to point out that those opposed to the bombings WANTED 1,000,000 AMERICANS AND 20,000,000 JAPANESE TO DIE. They are frustrated because their blood lust was not satisfied!
Exactly. The Japs were facing 2 bad choices from their perspective but the US alone was much more favorable than a split Japan and time was against them because the Soviets were getting ready to rumble. Even so the Kuril Islands were taken by the Soviets and have not been returned to this day.
I’ll bet he honors Japanese soldiers/military.
The REAL reason the Left is upset with us dropping the A-Bomb.
Bonzo Goes to Bitburg II.
“Obama Hiroshima Visit to ‘Honor’ World War II Veterans”
For sure, and there is a “Tower of the Americas” in San Antonio, and I’m just now putting it up for sale. Any takers?????
The question is.....which side's vets? US or Japanese?
You nailed it.
Truman had four options:
1. Nuke Japan and end the war. Dropping one nuke was not enough to make Japan surrender. It took dropping a second nuke AND convincing Japan that we would keep dropping them until all of Japan was a radioactive pile of sand (we actually didn’t have any more nukes left at the time) to make Japan surrender.
2. Invade Japan instead of dropping the nukes. Countless tens of thousands of Americans and Japanese would have died in a months long battle to the death. When word got out that Truman had nukes and didn’t use them, he would have been impeached and probably imprisoned for treason if not lynched.
3. Blockade Japan indefinitely. Japan today would look a lot like North Korea and we would have tens of thousands of soldiers permanently stationed in the Philippines.
4. Surrender, declare victory, pay Japan war reparations, and blame Roosevelt.
to “honor” WWII veterans.... oooh sure, how many battlefields, POW camps etc. has this POS Obozo ever visited to honor OUR veterans???
I’ll bet he’s never been to a single site in the Pacific, has he even been to the D-Day beaches or the Battle of the Bulge sites etc.???
The villainous charlatan Susan Rice trying to defend the loathsome pretender Barack Obama would merely be funny if it weren’t all so outrageous.
All too many Americans are pathetic morons. Proof in the fact Obama has had two terms as President of this nation, and some of us are stressed about Hillary being elected to the same office.
It should be a no brainer somebody that loves this country will be elected to the highest office of the land, but no we have too many no brainers.
Do you even realize how many Japanese pilots developed long term migraine headaches because of all the American ships exploding beneath them in Pearl Harbor!?
Of COURSE we apologize!
