“The United States is the only country to have ever used nuclear bombs during war. In 1945, at least 100,000 men, women, and children were instantly killed when bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in addition to tens of thousands more who later died because of the bombs’ after effects.”

What? Did anyone else know about this????

The United States did NOT use nuclear bombs during WWII. They were atomic bombs. There is both a qualitative and quantitative difference.
