tbh i think its a pretty common belief here. when i was in school they basically taught us that it was "necessary" to win the war. i remember in a history class we had a debate over if it was justified or not. they never really emphasized the real effects of it
never underestimate how many idiots and horrible people we have here
i thought propaganda only happened in commie countries

JbreezyondeckOpened Pandora’s box for nuclear warfare and stockpiling. It was bound to happen but the most surprising part is that it has not happened again since
Not really. Would probably lead to nuclear war and we'd all be f***ed. I think everyone is hesitant to use one after these atrocities as well.

orangejuiceHow did I know this thread would have 2/3 users at least claiming that the innocent Japanese citizens deserved to get bombed due to the atrocities committed by their government.
Similar to what Synop said, you guys are s***ty people and sick in the head.
This is literally the mainstream view in society, sheesh this place is turning to a 2nd reddit. So many intellectuals on here with history degrees

yeah thats absolutely insane LMAO but all over here in the western world history lessons in school they skip over or justify the bad things the country did
Aug 5, 2020·editedAs an adherent to World War 2 history, this thread is embarrassing to say at least. From USA won the war by itself is almost a myth and knowing the context of both Imperial Japan and United States. I know this subject is debatable and I’d rather stick what history goes and historians lecture from it than a misconstrued standpoint or “mainstream” view.

ARCADE GOONI have been to Hiroshima before and have visited ground zero of the explosion (a hospital) as well as the museum dedicated to the atomic bombings. It was part of a cultural exchange I was invited to by the Japanese Foreign Ministry for European university students. The tour guide downplayed the role of Imperial Japan's atrocities and bit his tongue over the topic of the US role in the Pacific War.
In my opinion: Anybody who defends these bombings is an absolutely horrible human being. So many civilians were killed in a moment where the USA basically had already won the war. It's mostly Americans defending this, anybody with half a brain recognizes that this stuff was horrific. The USA basically did it to show off to the Soviets that they have atomic capabilities. It was also to prevent the Soviet Union from invading Japan, which would have meant that Japan might not have been administrated by the USA but by the Soviets instead, which the USA did not want. So many civilians died just for some political strategizing. The Cold War started the moment that bomb hit.
The reason Japan ultimately gave up the war wasn't even because of the bomb, but because of the threat of Soviet invasion looming over them.
Going to the museum was weird, since Japanese are allied with the USA. While they don't openly say it, I think many Japanese hate the USA. The only reason they swallow their pride is because they hate China more and see the USA as an useful ally against their neighbor and historic nemesis
The US and war crimes is nothing new

I’d always heard growing up that there was some sort of a***ysis apparently done determining that allowing conventional warfare to continue for as long as it took for someone to surrender would have led to more deaths than the two bombs - is this complete bs???

Just because American school teaches you that in American society it's justified does not mean that it was actually okay. I'm sure the civilians that got bombed in the middle east deserved it too haha!

It’s is a reference to their being no law. Look at Syria for the most recent example. No man is confined to a set of arbitrary laws, because they’re inherently susceptible to evil tendencies.
