Hiroshima and Nagasaki were minor military targets. It was full of "innocents" that were a vital part of Japans war effort. Soldiers fight. Civilians are those that make the weapons of war, grow the food for war, provide the soldiers for war. They are an integral cog for war. Without them the war machine would fail. They are a valid target of war. Those atomic bombs ended the war. Without them we would have lost many soldiers and Japan would have been rendered a non functioning society due to our conventional bombing that would have destroyed them. Most would have died of hunger and disease and many by bombs.

War is ugly and brutal. If one is willing to go to total war against an enemy and you have the means to devastate them and they know it and know you will do it, they will not go to war with you.

Israel has been too meek! Israel has been meek due to pressure from the United States and Europe. This begs the question, "Whose side are Europe and the USA on? The only innocents in war are the children and the very old. All others are part of the war machine. Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden (the Brits burned tens of thousands alive), Berlin, Tokyo fire bombing (which killed more than our atomic bombs) etc. It worked. They surrendered. War is ugly, brutal and soul destroying for those that must do it. Total war works.

In the future, Israel will arm itself without American weapons and ammo. They were set to pay the promised American ammo and weapons upon delivery, but those weapons will go to Ukraine now and we will never be reimbursed.
