Yeah...the Nanking Massacre was a picnic, right?
Yup, no bias there. Still trying to lay a guilt trip on America after all these years.
“The Japanese began the war from the air at Pearl Harbor. They have been repaid many fold.” - Harry S. Truman, August 6, 1945.
Yeah, because absent dropping 2 big ones, the Battle of Japan that would’ve killed millions of American servicemen AND Japanese civilians would’ve been SO much better for “humankind.”
I don’t read it that way. Surely the instant death of over 100,000 human beings by incineration and the ejection of all their physical artifacts into the stratosphere was not a cheery moment in human history. An objective observer -— the hypothetical Martian -— would see it as evidence of some colossal trauma.
The Japanese of WWII were extremely barbaric and fanatical. The people that write this garbage are ignorant sloth toe sludge.

Bah, that’s nothing. Soft-pedalled, compared to some of the stuff I’ve seen in University student publications. Those generally find a way to refer to Harry S. Truman as a “War Criminal” at least twice per article. It almost seems to be some kind of requirement. :P
Get the horns.
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.
[[But what happened to the actual city when it was consumed in its awful, unforgettable fire?
devastation at a scale not seen before
one of humankind’s darkest hours]]
When a person pokes a bear with a sharp stick, they, (Those who attacked us), alone are responsible for their own actions and the consequences that follow- Pearl Harbor was the darkest day!
“But what happened to the actual city when it was consumed in its awful, unforgettable fire?” It burned to save a million Americans and our allies from death or injury AND save hundreds of thousands of Japanese lives; THAT’S what happened.
Considering the fire bombing of Tokyo...
