      Same here. I have read accounts, but did not expect this. Seemingly demonstrates how little we have been shown in the west. An important note is that many if not most anti-nuclear activists were motivated by the fact that the types of power reactors in use are also useful for atomic weapons. There are many other designs that are less useful or even not at all for fission or fusion weapons, but strangely these are rarely built.

      The Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs were not atomic or nuclear bombs. They were very high TNT bombs. There has been no evidence of a nuclear weapon other than the Japan bomb which is the scientists say so.. The threat of a country holding a bomb that has Nuclear power is enough to keep the sheep from uprising. Ballistic missiles would not hold that weight in TNT, Nuclear sound a lot more threatening.

    The horror in Western war films is always glossed over, even when they are trying to demonise some supposed enemy. Russian films about WW2 are somewhat closer to reality, but still written to entertain rather than traumatise. I have often felt that all war films, as well as news reports, are far too reserved about what is acceptable for the public to see. Of course, the way the gory reality is shown is still very important. Zombie apocalypse films are sick humour. Films like ‘Come and see’, about what the Nazis did in Belarus, are a step in the right direction.

      So your assumption is that the cruel and unforgivable actions of IJF at the time, should be projected on to the innocent civilians of Japan, who had nothing to do with.
      And they should receive equally the punishment that IJF received, again for something any ordinary man outside of IJF, for a crime they were never responsible for.
      I am on the side of Palestine in this conflict but even if they find a miracle to counter Israel's actions, the punishment should only be limited to those held accountable (Military, Netanyahu, etc.) not the innocent people of Israel.

Japan has no right to lecture others about the terror of nuclear weapons, given the fact that they were the aggressors and to this day, their country is UNWILLING to reflect on the cruelties of their past actions, why tf are they allowed to play the victims here and assume a moral high-ground?

    It was sad to see these places like Nagasaki where ordinary Japanese civilians paid the ultimate price and suffering for the horrendous war crimes and brutality committed by the brainwashed monsters in the Japanese Imperial armies starting in Korea, Nanjing China and continuing through WW2. Their military committed horrendous acts that are on par with the Nazi, including chemical and biological attacks on the chinese. They continued bombing so many countries in USA, South East Asia, Australia etc. and mistreated, tortured and killed so many innocent military nurses, women, children and prisoners of war. Hundreds of thousands of victims and dead worldwide. They never wanted to surrender and the last resort of using the atomic bomb actually put an end to their Asian, South Pacific Holocaust. Thank god the Japanese imperial forces didn’t have an atomic bomb as no doubt the Hirohito disciples would have used it much earlier. I pray for those innocent Japanese people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and hope we never see such blind devotion to an emperor again.

      @Staenhus Месяц назад +3

      This is simply not true. If you look at the records (more than a casual glance, that is), you notice two things: 1) The Japanese leadership were looking for a conditional surrender before the nukes. 2) The Japanese leadership's strategy didn't change from the bombs.
      As for point 1, the Japanese were in a bad position before the nukes. They had no air force left, they were under an American sea blockade and they knew they had lost the war. There were two factions in the leadership council, caught in a deadlock; one that wanted a negotiated peace that kept the military intact (those were the generals wanting that) and one who didn't. Both factions wanted a guarantee of the safety of the emperor, given that he was a religious figure. They made several attempts to communicate this, mainly through the Soviet Union, but the Americans refused every time. After all, Truman knew that he had the bomb, which he hoped would deter the Soviets and/or force an unconditional surrender before the Soviets could make land grabs in Asia. Soviet, on the other hand, were moving troops to do just that and thus stalled on their end.
      For point 2, after the bombs fell the deadlock in the Japanese council remained. They kept looking for a conditional surrender, because they were a fascist state; Why would they care about their people? It was only the interjection of the emperor, who was worried about religious objects being lost or destroyed in a potential land invasion, that broke the deadlock. Even then, the Japanese still only surrendered when finally given the go-ahead from the Americans that the emperor would indeed remain safe (probably because the Soviets had declared war on Japan at this point and started their invasion of China).
      Basically, the bombs did nothing. The Japanese would have surrendered without them, and they didn't really speed up the surrender. In fact, a more direct diplomatic process would probably have ended the war sooner.
      What is true in your statement is that the Japanese military were monsters that committed horrific crimes in the rest of Asia. Less known is that the Americans gave the high command, the people behind the chemical/biological/surgical experiments, immunity from prosecution in exchange for their research results. The fact that those scum of the earth, those inhuman bags of filth and refuse, were not punished in the slightest is the biggest scandal of WW2 imo. Reading what Unit 731 did is haunting. If those dung stains would have been killed by radiation poisoning, instead of thousands of innocent people, I would have had no problem with that.

      @@Staenhus bullshit. History shows that after the dropping of the first atomic bomb, many high ranking generals such as General Anami refused to accept any peace agreement and any foreign troops to occupy Japan. Prime minster Suzuki disagreed with the military and it was only after the second bomb in Nagasaki that the Emperor Hirohito finally agreed to surrender and accept the Potsdam Declaration.

    • @Staenhus
      @Staenhus Месяц назад +3

      @@lizardears4861 No, Anami's faction specifically didn't want a negotiated peace without the military being kept intact. That was the main reason for the deadlock. Suzuki wanted a negotiated peace, but with the caveat of the emperor not being tried/executed. This was something that the Allies kept stalling/refusing to offer. In fact, the Potsdam Declaration didn't mention it, and the survival of the emperor was later alluded to in the actual correspondence between Japan and the US, which was when they actually agreed to surrendering.
      As for the emperor, he only broke the deadlock. Normally, it wasn't his place to deal with practical matters of war, but after diplomatic relations with the Soviets were confirmed to be dead (after they declared war on Japan), he called an imperial conference and told the council to go with Suzuki.
      Fact is, the council had hopes that the Soviets (who they had a peace agreement with at the time) would be able to help them get better conditions for their surrender. You can see this in the correspondence between Suzuki (I think?) and their ambassador in Moscow. They weren't fanatics, they were looking for a way out.
      What the bombs did do was speed up the Soviet invasion, which was what actually broke the council's delusions about some potential sovereignty being kept. It basically cut the final possibility of negotiation. Even then, the emperor had to call an imperial council twice in order to make it clear that Suzuki's option was the one to go with.
      Point is, if Potsdam would have guaranteed the emperor's survival or alluded to it, it's probable that Suzuki's faction would have won out without the nukes, becoming almost guaranteed after Soviet declaring war (which they were planning to do anyway). The Japanese were stubborn and delusional, but they weren't stupid. After the last lifeline of a diplomatic settlement was cut, a full surrender was the only option and they knew that. Not to save their people, mind you, but to save their institutions.
      Remember, there were also other military options: the US could have dropped the nukes on military bases outside of major cities, or off the coast, to demonstrate their power; the blockade was probably enough to force Japan to a surrender as their resources dwindled; and even just threatening to bomb Kyoto would have probably done the job, given the religious connotations with the emperor and the Imperial Palace.
      Nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki, two cities of what was mostly civilians, was simply a spectacle to the Americans. It being necessary to force a surrender is a post-war fabrication, imo, and even then it didn't justify the horror of it.

    The fact that Toshiyuki Mimaki spoke to that exactly, and made the connection between struggles as a matter of fact, has changed my mind. The very manner of the response demonstrates the deservedness, akin to the idea of a wise man rejecting being given authority for awareness of the danger. We learn more from this than we would if UNRWA had won. As much as UNRWA winning would have been a lovely jab at the Zionists.
