Its hard to miss the infamous date and the recent release of the movie “Oppenheimer” and not think its coincidence. As the saying goes there are no such things as coincidences in life. That being said August 6, 1945 should be a day that we pause to reflect what the bigger is when looking through a more peaceful lens. Especially as the Ukraine conflict still rages on while the US and its allies use it as an excuse to make and broaden a war a nuclear power such as Zrussia!
This story is one that often does not get told enough and is often buried in the annals of history while glorification of the atom bomb explosion is relived with today’s media, but very few really know of the deaths it caused at home and no too far away to people subjected to the after math of the tests conducted at Trinity site in New Mexico who would be collateral damage.
Lastly if you haven’t seen it yet, one of the best documentaries on the Atom Bomb and American culture during the cold war.
One might view it differently: “Japan, as the only nation to have suffered atomic bombings in war, will continue efforts towards a nuclear-free world,” Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said in a speech on Sunday. The path to such a world is becoming “increasingly difficult because of deepening divisions in the international community over nuclear disarmament and Russia’s nuclear threat,” he added.

Yeah maybe one can construe that slight of hand differently, but its hard to accept that point of view when Japan is pretty much a US proxy.
Take in to account Anthony Blinken the other day was condemning Russia for giving an anti Russia dissenter Nalvalny 19 years for extremism. The Russian repose to Blinken’s tweet of course was epic when they pointed out the US’s own hypocrisy relating to the charges against Donald Trump.
Remember Russian is not the only actor in this Nuclear game regardless if its the future.
It is! Sadly that is where we are at as a nation, so we have no room to be casting aspersions at other countries, including Canada and their fked up woke agenda and Britain with their bullshit nanny state.
Russia has reason to use nuclear weapons as the US sends Drones advanced hardware for Ukraine to attack Russian shipping.
The problems will begin when Russia has no other options.
Just curious what happens when Ukraine runs short of people to send to war?
But Russia sent the west plenty of warnings and has been for quite some time. The ambitions of the West and NATO has been about breaking treaties and not honoring their commitments that they previously agreed to. How does that look to the Russians or for that matter to the rest of the world when setting an example?
And the alternative:
A study done for Stimson’s staff by William Shockley estimated that invading Japan would cost 1.7–4 million American casualties, including 400,000–800,000 fatalities, and five to ten million Japanese fatalities.
The decision to use the atomic bob was far easier than the invasion of Japan.
Japan had been begging to surrender since spring of 1945.
But as Eustace Mullins pointed out, the Jooish movers and shakers (of Wall Street) wanted to test nuke bombs on live cities. We don’t call the whole thing the “Manhattan Project” for nothing.
Yes I watched “Atomic Cafe” where Tibbits uses that explanation as to why he never had trouble sleeping that night or any other night following his dropping of the Atomic bomb. The fact of the matter is, such studies to which you cited by William Shockley was purely speculative and diplomacy was never considered or had a chance.
I am sure it was as it was already in the planning years prior but they didn’t know it would be Japan that they would be the test subject until an opportunity presented itself to justify such a decision. How many medical tests did they conduct post war as well? How about the American citizens that were never compensated for the Trinity site tests that eventually suffered and died from various cancers?
