This is why I'd love a glimpse into a parallel stream of history where the bomb was dropped on your country instead as a last gasp before Nazi Germany collapsed. I'd love to hear you lecture me on all the lives it saved, rather than a rant about how it was the worst war crime in human history. I'm sure you wouldn't do that if bad-guy Nazi's had spent years developing a weapon made specially for killing cities and making them uninhabitable for generations, then dropped them on your country.
If those weapons had let NG win the war then you'd be sucking Nazi cock and saying the same words you're saying now. But if NG still lost then you'd be telling me how pathetic and cowardly it was.
Are you actually a native speaker or did you immigrate to the UK from Poland? Bless Nigel Farage.
If Germany had developed the bomb first and targeted American industry in the same way then yes, that would have saved lives compared to a German invasion of the American mainland.
You keep saying this "made specially for destroying cities" bit but that doesn't make it true. It's not about salting the Earth, it's about raw power, how many terajoules of hurt can be put down on an area. We hardly knew the facts of nuclear fallout at the time. Using that kind of flowery emotional language to describe a weapon of war, really only distinct in intention of use from other payloads in its destructive power and the fact that it ENDED the war, just makes you sound like a woman. I'm going to have to ask again, are you unable to do math? ~200,000 Japanese soldiers and civilians died in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (who were given warning) yes, very sad. How can you compare those couple hundred thousand to the potential tens of millions - of Japanese civilians alone - who would have died had we invaded the mainland? We were going to gas them. That was part the Operation Olympic plan, dropping phosgene and mustard gas Japanese population centers. If you like considering alternate history so much, consider that.
Do you find it preferable?
And after witnessing the immense destructive power of such a weapon the powerful nations of the world went to war again in a third World War, causing unimaginable death and ending humanity.
No, wait. Something seems off about that...
And yet if they'd won that would have been their Lexington Concord. Now you're a good little American, I'm sure you salute the flag longer than anyone else and thank Jesus for it every night, so I bet you've convinced yourself that the Confederacy was planning to invade the north and therefore overwhelming force was the only option. It was self-defense guys, our only option! It's amazing how dewy-eyed you all get over the excuses you made for independence, whilst it clearly wasn't long before Abe Lincoln decided to play the role of King George III and fight an Imperialist war to keep his extra land. I wonder if pappa Lincoln was thinking about liberty and freedom from tyranny when he instigated the worst conflict in your history.
The only reason those states aren't celebrating two days of Independence this year is because Mr Imperialist boss-man decided he didn't like seeing other people touch his stuff.
Here's a fact for you my old friendgo
t, the Southern States were wholly dependent economically on the institution of slavery. Another thing you may not have grasped is that two actors in a war can have different endgames and reasons for that war. For the South, secession and inevitable "war" (otherwise known as rebellion, armed insurrection, mass murder, extrajudicial killing) was undeniably about maintaining what drove their economy. For the Union, the war was about maintaining the American republic. There is no path to secession in the Constitution, secession of States, counties, municipalities, and people is illegal. Am I above the law because I proclaim myself to be? Please show me on the natural rights of man where the election of Abraham Lincoln is an unjust law that must be resisted. It's ok, take your time, do you remember what he looked like? You must have a lot of faith in democracy if you think that a majority of people can not only vote themselves into slavemastery (which was the traitor rationale), but can also then collectively proclaim themselves above the law in order to maintain such a way of life. Little hiccup there considering it was their loss of an election which prompted that, but hey, they were Democrats so I'd trust their word on democracy, it's in the name after all.
Xant is perhaps the most retarded Chinaman I have ever seen. I'm going to hope there's a language barrier there and it isn't all autism.
