Wrong again. Japan was militarily exhausted and the exact number of dead/maimed as a result of US dropping atomic bombs on them is in the 6 figure range. Mostly civilians.
You are a failed human being without any redeeming value. You are empty and worthless.
That was about being invaded by a Russian military of millions, not about using nukes when invading other countries.
“”Let it be known that one of these countries has already dropped atomic bombs on another country, 6000 miles from it’s shores, without any military necessity or existential threat.””
So now even on freerepublic we have to see that, you guys tried that at the Enola Gay exhibit at the Smithsonian and lost.
What on earth are you talking about? Are you denying the US dropped atomic bombs on Japan or denying they were militarily exhausted? Are you denying Japan is 6000 miles away from the US? Are you denying that many, many thousands of Japanese civilians were killed or maimed?
Or are you justifying it as an entitlement to being “exceptional”?
Before the world knew about atomic weapons, before treaties or human awareness of atomic weapons, and before examination of their use and how powerful they could become in the future, we saved 500,000 American lives and about a million Japanese lives at a time when the Japanese were murdering allied POWs by the thousands including burning Americans alive, by dropping our two atomic bombs on the suicidal island nation that was determined to fight to the death with every man, woman, and child, killing a half million or more of us and a million or more of them, numbers that would forever change America and Japan.
You America haters are attacking America and the WWII allies, and glorifying Russia in WWII.
Your hatred for America and the West is worst than your Russia supporters were in the past.
You are so full of crap. This is in context to an article written about US officials wagging their fingers at the Russians. You’re justifying this and there was no need for it. No other country has earned this distinction.
You are why the world is turning it’s back on the US. I don’t hate America. I hate the behavior and I hate depraved people like you who bask themselves in phony, contrived “exceptionalism”.
Russia is threatening to normalize nuclear weapons, to introduce them as just another tool when invading neighbors, and to start using them to conquer European countries.
They’ve done no such thing. You are making this up.
The US govt. has derailed every single attempt at a diplomatic resolution. This is on Russia’s border and they have had enough. They are going to enforce the terms of Minsk II militarily, and then some, and there isn’t one damn thing anybody can do about except shoot off their mouths.
This is Minsk II, read it or have someone read it to you, nice and slow.
Here are the comments made about it.

Yes, because the loss of 1,000,000 Americans and 5-7 million Japanese would have been so much better.
“Yes, because the loss of 1,000,000 Americans and 5-7 million Japanese would have been so much better.”
Another brainwashed elderly American with a fanciful justification of the use of atomic weapons 6000 miles away while lecturing and speculating about Russia about using them on their own doorstep in a US proxy state, formerly known as Ukraine. Something against their nuclear doctrine, something they’ve never done, and something they’ve said they have no need to do.
Russia issued the nuclear warning on the same day they invaded their neighbor, 3 days later they put their nuclear forces on alert to underline the threat.
Russia so constantly threatened the use of nuclear attacks against Europe and America that Trump got sick of it and said that if Putin keeps using the “n-word” constantly that we should reposition our nuclear subs to threaten him back and to get him to shut up about nuking us.
You’re out of your mind. Zelensky brought up the possibility of developing nukes. Shortly after that the Russian Special Operation was launched.
You’re defending a country that just recently was caught in a plot to develop a dirty bomb, shells nuclear power plants and you are not doing a very good job of it.
While you make things up, we have Putin’s actual threats made on the day of the invasion and his putting his nuclear forces on high alert 3 days later as he was launching his attack on his non-nuclear neighbor.
As Trump says, —“But if we didn’t have it we couldn’t talk but I listened to him constantly using the n word , that’s the n word, and he’s constantly using it. The nuclear word, and we never talk, we say oh, he’s a nuclear power, but we’re a greater nuclear power.”
“You should say look, if you mention that word, one more time, we’re going to send them over and we’ll be coasting back and forth up and down your coast. You can’t let this tragedy continue. You can’t let these thousands of people die. It’s going to be hundreds of thousands and maybe millions of people by the time it ends.”
Full text of Vladimir Putin’s speech announcing ‘special military operation’ in Ukraine
Look and see if you can find Putin’s “actual threats”.
Trump is another one who doesn’t have the guts to talk about Minsk II.
Putin brought up nuclear weapons and then put his nuclear forces on alert 3 days later.
Read the speech yourself and you will see Putin introducing the nuclear weapons threat as he is launching the invasion of his neighbor, and then 3 days later he put his nuke forces on alert to make it clear that it was a threat.
The threat was ‘we are invading Ukraine, and we have nuclear weapons here is a nuclear weapons alert in case you didn’t get the message’.
Trump is correct about Putin’s constant nuclear threats.
I did read it. You did not and neither did Trump, or he’s just playing to gullible audiences like you, who’d jump off a cliff if he told them to. We’ve obviously reached an impasse and I suggest you prepare yourself for a massive dose of humility.
As far as Trump’s remark...”we’re going to send them over and we’ll be coasting back and forth up and down your coast.”
Good luck with that. The US can only get away with that against countries that can’t fight back. The track record is clear.
The US picked a fight with Russia using Ukraine as a launching pad and you people support it in some form of selfish, twisted “patriotism”. It will lose decisively, former-Ukraine will be demolished in the process and I’m looking forward to rubbing all of your noses in your own stubborn stupidity.
Of course I read it, long ago, and recently, I have quoted it before because it is Putin threatening nuclear weapons and then putting his nukes on alert to emphasize his threat.
You seem to despise and denigrate President Trump as much as you despise the United States.
As far as Ukraine goes, this is November, not February 2022, and Ukraine has far exceeded the world’s expectations and has fully exposed the truth about your Russia to the world and has greatly weakened them while greatly strengthening NATO, a stronger NATO being another Trump goal.
“a stronger NATO being another Trump goal.”
Wow, your reading skills are obviously very poor. Trump never said that either. He’s suggested the US should pull out of NATO.
