‘US government documents admit that the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not necessary to end WWII. Japan was on the verge of surrendering. The nuclear attack was the first strike in Washington's Cold War on the Soviet Union. Ben Norton reviews the historical record.’

What of the Japanese civilians?

You haven't given me one word about why their lives were more valuable than the enslaved peoples.

You're being deliberately obtuse, take your concern trolling elsewhere.

Well this is some inverted reasoning. The bombs didn't end the war quicker and the US military didn't think that they would. It was pointless cruelty to civilians that saved no one, for the sake of intimidating the USSR.

And if we follow this logic, then every (white) inhabitant of the US deserves to have every single atom of their bodies blasted out into interstellar space at the speed of light for their country's past and present crimes.
