Nuclear
Attack on Japan was Opposed by American Military Leadership
Comments from Kevin Hester
300,000 Civilians were 'Incinerated' when the U.S. dropped Nuclear bombs on the predominantly Civilian cities of Hiroshima and Ngasaki.
The world Constantly has to suffer the repetetive false narrative from the U.S about the "War on Terror'.
"Truman. His secretary of war says, this is the "master card" of diplomacy against the Russians, the atomic bomb. There are many, many documents that strongly suggest--particularly the secretary of state, James F. Byrnes, understood that the bomb was more a diplomatic tool than a military tool. The chief of staff of the U.S. Army and the Combined Chiefs, General Marshall, said, this is not a military decision. It has nothing to do with the military. It may be a diplomatic, political, other kind of decision, but it's not a military decision."
"So, interestingly, the military--and I mentioned this, I think, in our last discussion--virtually all the major American military leaders went public after the war saying the atomic bomb was totally unnecessary. Some called it barbaric. The president's chief of staff went public. Can you imagine the chief of staff saying--and he was a good friend of the president--said, this is barbarism. I wasn't taught to kill children and women. So that's very clear."
These 300,000 civilians were sacrificed simply so that the U.S could send a message, read THREAT to the Soviet Union.
One of the driving forces of this inhumanity towards civilians is the influence of Corporate Fascism eminating out of the U.S."The thing that I think's important to understand, because these people were ordinary human beings--the president, his secretary of state, they were not evil guys. They were caught up in an ideology that somehow, if we followed American strategy, we could save the world from another war, and the Russians are, they believe, communist devils. So they were operating out of a framework of ideology that dominated their thinking to the extent that 300,000 civilians were burned unnecessarily, killed. But it's a mistake to see them just as bad guys. Much more important is: how does American corporate capitalism develop that ideology? And what does it really take to reach much deeper than good guys and bad guys?" I would take issue with this last paragraph but it is important to realise that ostensibly, normal sounding people are perfectly capable of Genocidal mass Murder
Fascism was never defeated at the end of the Second World War......... The batton simply changed hands......
This post is NOT an attack on the people of the U.S. it is an attack on their merciless corporate fascist Rulers and all who support them!
LEAST WE FORGET.

to bomb Japan was a diplomatic one, not a military one
