I totally agree that dropping nuclear bombs is the greatest form of terrorism and that the united states is arrogant for saying that this was better than our soldiers dying in a ground battle. we did not have to use a nuclear weapon, it was simply to show the USSR who is more powerful (pre cold-war shit)


Where did you get the figure of 500,000 people killed by the atomic bombs (they were not nuclear bombs) dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? The figures I have seen are much lower than that.

If Japan had quickly surrendered after the first one was dropped, we wouldn't have had to give them the second.
