Hiroshima/nagasaki

[jomifl]

Duringthe 50 years preceeding the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki the Japanese military succeeded in killing about 10 million people in their rampages around China and Korea. In the 70 years since the atomic bombs were dropped the death toll attributable to the Japanese armed forces is close to zero. Any suggestions as to why this might be?

[TWR]

I understand your meaning Mikey, the area they use is vast but it must be possible with the satellites that they have up there.

[EcclesCake]

And what about the collateral damage TWR?

[TWR]

What about the lives the scum take? The pigs say they are at war with the west, I'm afraid as history states, a lot die, property gets destroyed, have you any other solution? Tunisia is only the start.

[EcclesCake]

IS is distributed far and wide, specifically where do you propose targeting your attack.

I cannot believe you think it is acceptable to obliterate millions of innocents, to suggest such a thing is beyond my comprehension.

[TWR]

That's what they said about America about Japan, Japan surrendered.

[Hopkirk]

Does anyone know if the Americans have any regrets about using atomic weapons to completely destroy two cities?

[TWR]

I'm sure they have Hop, no-one like wars but there comes a time that the negotiations cease as there can not be a conclusion, Pearl Harbour was the final of the end.

Anybody else think the current explosions made the area look eerily similar to Hiroshima and Nagasake especially only a few days after the anniversary.

[Peter Pedant]

ukbod - I conclude you mean the explosions at Tianjin [ 天津 ]

Hey did anyone know it used to Tientsin ? where the stamps came from

Yeah I wondered but it was only 3 tons and 10 tons TNT

Can anyone exxplain why you get a mushroom cloud ? The explosion starts as symmetrical ( altho exploding it above a city you get a 'bounce' ) and it cant be heat rising as the planes reported the cloud within a few seconds

tamborine -> "The atom bomb was retaliation for Pearl harbour."

How did you arrive at that conclusion tamborine ?

modeller, the Public may never know what really occurred especially during war e.g. the opening Lie from Truman that Hisoshima was a military base

One American Military report estimated 47,000 American deaths expected if Japan was invaded.

As for Japan apologising , eyes are on them TODAY with Abe the PM making an announcement

And of course the Jap god, Emperor Hirohito was not even prosecuted at the Nuremberg show trials.

Peter Sellers, playing the part of Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake in, 'Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb'
said he had been held prisoner and tortured by them, but the strange thing was "They do make such damn good cameras!"

7op, Just a clear and unambiguous apology to might mean they don't have to apologise again, but I suspect that a lot of japanese have no idea of the atrocities that were perpetrated up to WW2.
