In 2015, retired geologist and marine ecologist Mario Wannier was examining samples of beach sand collected from Japan's Motoujina Peninsula, just 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) south of Hiroshima's hypocentre, or ground zero.
Primarily, Wannier and fellow researcher Marc de Urreiztieta were looking for traces of microscopic organisms called foraminifera in the sediment, but that's not all they found.
These strange glass spherule particles – some of which resemble the kind of glassy debris ejected into the atmosphere during meteorite impacts – are estimated to constitute up to 2.5 percent of all the sand in the beaches around Hiroshima.
Wannier ended up collecting some 10,000 samples of this unusual grit, which were examined by researchers at the Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley, using electron microscopy and X-ray analysis.

How about the NON-instant mass murder and butchery of up to 3 TIMES that number by Japanese regular army soldiers in Nanking? NOT S.S. Regular army. Men, women and children. Raped, tortured, bayonetted, beheaded, sliced up like cattle. Hiroshima was HUMANE next to that.
I wonder... Could any of that debris have come from the 520 Atmospheric atomic and nuclear test done between 1954 to 1992?
It was horrible, and it sent the message that world domination attempts would be met with force. It put an end to Japan’s imperialistic intentions and ended the war. Horrible, yes. People obliterated. War is hell. But don’t try to lay guilt on us. In war you do what you have to do.
I just watched an anti US Netflix movie called Twice.
It’s about a man who was in Hiroshima and survived. He went home to Nagasaki later that day and survived again.
Bad luck/good luck?
> Yeah...the Nanking Massacre was a picnic, right? <
And the person who saved at least 200,000 Chinese people from the slaughter was - get ready for this - a Nazi by the name of John Rabe.

Get the horns.
The only thing missing is the ghastly legacy of the battles from a full on U.S. invasion of the heart of Japan. Then the “scientists” would just have some other means of trying to make us feel guilty about our WWII pursuits against Japan.
It was a colossal trauma, all right … a colossal trauma begun by Josef Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and Hideki Tojo. Tojo and Hitler, at least, got what was coming to them.
They woke the sleeping giant. Nobody forced their hand, it was their own choice. And choices have consequences.
The Japanese committed horrific atrocities during WWII:
Forced marches
Dismemberment
Cannibalism on prisoners of war
Hideous experiments on Chinese women a la Mengele, where pregnant women were dissected alive and conscious
Equally hideous medical experiments on prisoners
Amputation of parts one at a time
Forcing tubes down throats of prisoners and pumping water into them
Freezing or burning prisoners to see what happened
Exposing them to radiation
Burying prisoners alive
Beheading
Tying prisoners up at the tide line so they could drown
Impaling them on bamboo stakes
Cooking their brains with electricity
Forcing prisoners to kill their friends or allies.
For 100,000 of the Japanese to die instantly is HUMANE compared to the horrible, protracted, painful deaths they inflicted on others.
Every time one of these liberal apologists for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki I think of the weeks I spent in Japan not being allowed to venture outside because of the radiation clouds and high radiation that came over the islands from the Russian and Chinese nuclear detonations from 1957-1962. No one seems to blame the Communists for irradiating the Japanese islands with almost as much radiation as did we in two detonations.
Yes.
A. Nukes.
B. Invasion.
C. Other methods
There were other options
It’s an American idea that we must invade, conquer, occupy, and overthrow.
I’ve already heard the revisionists begin to talk about how we only wanted to fight Japan to keep the British-American hegemony over Asia, while the Japanese were just trying to remove the Imperialists so that Asia would be for the Asians.
I tend to see their perishing subjects, who didn't even even have freedom of speech, let alone a vote, not as monsters but as victims.
“..more Japanese lives than American lives...”
Sure did.
And I guarantee you that every single American GI that was slated to exit a landing craft in the upcoming Operations Olympic and Coronet were absolutely THRILLED to hear about those two explosions...
They got to come home, have kids, and raise families as a result.
We visited Hiroshima a couple years ago...not in a group...just the two of us. As we roamed around the city and the Peace park, people were gracious, kind and friendly. They were easy to engage and asked about America. There is NO anti-American sentiment. Even at the Peace Park, among the documents ands messages there was only one that mentioned America. To paraphrase: This is the result of the Imperial military provoking America. The ONLY negative thing about America was written by a black california congresswoman in a book that had statements of visiting “dignitaries”...she blamed America. What a typical LIBtard nitwit.
The city is beautiful, clean and prosperous. We had lunch about 600 feet from the epicenter of the bomb. After lunch we used a public restroom that had an elderly attendant. My spouse forgot her purse in the restroom. We were strolling along about 100 yards from it unawares of our mistake. The elderly attendant shuffled up to us and returned the purse (with our $$$ and documents). How refreshing. She refused a gratuity. In many cities in the USA it would be stolen and that’s that.
The bomb had to be dropped...many people died. That society learned a good lesson.
It sounds like they are just parroting Imperial Japanese “Co-Prosperity Sphere” propaganda from the 1930s.
K. Is a Mickey Mouse Ballon
Today just substitute China for Japan, and they are basically trying to do the same thing.
