    It's a difficult historical event. We must also remember that the Japanese culture at the time was akin to "the other nazis", and Japan had demonstrated an incredible ingenuity and cruelty (e.g. mainland China). And if you look at WWII as the machine of death that it was, it all came down to the number of people you could sacrifice. Not just soldiers, it was a total war before Hiroshima. Many lauded the decisive strike as one of mercy.

    I don't see why anyone would want to go to war. Except politicians and such, of course. So that's, for me, quite expected, that they don't want a war.

    Maybe but most Americans don't want to go to war that's why Roosevelt had to provoke Pearl Harbor. Because Obama won't say anything bad about him or cast a doubt about his character. Even today Americans don't want to go to war that's why the #elite have to stage false flags, spread lies on the media, and prop up puppet politicians.

    Yeah, and in the same way, cutting a thief's hand is easier than putting him to prison. As easy as it may be, it is still overreaction. And I'm sure there would be no hesitation about doing it again in a similar situation.

    Not many people like the idea but your taught from a young age in school that it saved millions of lives for us and them. So, though it was horrible it was sort of a knockout punch to end the war so we didn't have to invade the mainland.

    He isn't apologizing because most Americans, him too I would say, think the bombings were a good thing. They don't care about the other populations.

    I'm kind of surprised he isn't he goes around apologizing for everything else. Though he would have to admit Roosevelt his fellow globalist, warmongerer, and socialist was wrong.

    Even though he's not the one at fault, the USA isn't the kind of country to apologize for anything.
