Was The Use Of Nuclear Bombs In A Sneaky Surprise Attack by the US On Japan Justified?

 

In 1945, the US prepared for an invasion of Japan. It was preceded by a substantially long period of continuous conventional and fire-bombing campaign that destroyed, devastated or obliterated at least 67 Japanese cities. The war in Europe concluded when Germany surrendered on 8 May 1945, and the full attention of the US and its Axis of Evils was focused onto the Pacific War. 

By July 1945, the US' Manhattan Project had produced two types of atomic bombs: 1 Fat Man - a plutonium implosion-type nuclear weapon. 2. Little Boy - an enriched uranium gun-type fission weapon. The 509th Composite Group of the US Air Force was trained and equipped with the specialized Silverplate version of the Boeing B-29 Super-fortress, and deployed to Tinian in the Mariana Islands. 

The US gave Japan an ultimatum. It demanded for the unconditional surrender of the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces on 26 Jul 1945. The alternative being "prompt and utter destruction". Japan ignored the ultimatum. The consent of the United Kingdom was obtained for the bombing, as was required by the Quebec Agreement, and orders were issued on 25 July for atomic bombs to be used against Hiroshima, Kokura, Niigata, and Nagasaki. These targets were chosen because they were large urban areas that also held militarily significant facilities. 

On 6 August, the 'Little Boy' was dropped on Hiroshima. The Japanese Prime Minister Suzuki reiterated the Japanese government's commitment to ignore the US' demands and to fight on. Three days later, the 'Fat Man' was dropped on Nagasaki. Over the next two to four months, the effects of the two atomic bombings killed about 146,000 people in Hiroshima and about 80,000 people in Nagasaki. At least half of those numbers were killed immediately on Day One. 

For many months afterward, large numbers of people continued to die from the effects of burns, injuries and radiation sickness, compounded by illness and malnutrition. Although Hiroshima had a big military garrison, most of the dead were civilians. In total, about 2 million people had perished. Even until today, 76 years later, the residual effects of the two bombs continue in future generations of the Japanese people. 

 Japan surrendered to the US on 15 August, six days after the Soviet Union's declaration of war on Japan, and after the bombing of Nagasaki. The Japanese government surrendered unconditionally to the US on 2 September 1945, ending World war 2 . 

Scholars have extensively studied the effects of the bombings and until today there is still much debate concerning the ethical and legal justifications for the bombings. Supporters believe that the atomic bombings were necessary to bring a swift end to the war with minimal casualties, while critics argue that the Japanese government could have been brought to surrender through other means, while highlighting the moral and ethical implications of nuclear weapons and the deaths caused to civilians, especially innocent children and old folks. 

Was the US justified to employ Nuclear Weapons in a surprise attack on Japan, or any country for that matter? What do you think?

Enemies of Afghanistan

 Yahoo Chart of countries evacuating people from Afghanistan. What does the chart say? What do these countries have in common? Not just people to evacuate from Afghanistan. They have all done wrong and harm to Afghanistan.  They are the enemies of Afghanistan and must run for their lives. If they don't, the Afghans are going to exact revenge from them for killing their people and destroying their homes, way of lives and their country.

The devils and evil people know they are guilty of crimes against the Afghan people. Their act of fleeing Afghanistan is admission of guilt, of a disgraceful act against humanity, a war crime. The Afghans and people of the world must take cognizance of these occupation forces, ie terrorists, that invaded Afghanistan to kill Afghans and destroy their country on the pretext of hunting down Al Qaeda when they are the real terrorists that refused to leave for 20 years. How many Aghans have been killed and wounded by them, innocent people, young and old, women children etc etc.

Above are the patriotic fighters that defeated the evil Americans and their evil allies. It is not the superiority of the guns but the will of a people fighting for independence from foreign invaders. They want their country back. And they won against all odds, against smart bombs, drones, super bombers, air power etc etc. 

The human will is invincible.

The white occupation of Afghanistan is intolerable and must come to a quick end. No more delays.  The Taliban would not extend the date to evacuate the foreign collaborators. They would not extend the red line.  All foreign troops must be out of Afghan soil by 31 Aug or there will be consequences.

The more Afghans the white terrorists have to evacuate means they played a bigger role in the killings and destruction of Afghanistan.

COVID-19 Pandemic: Hurt Community, Not Herd Immunity

 Fears are growing about rising Covid-19 infections among children as the United States is turning into a dangerous bell-wether for other countries, some of which are preparing for a return to school without mask mandates in classrooms and access to vaccines for younger age groups are still not forthcoming.

The whole world is in great danger of destroying a whole future generation with probable long-term negative implications and consequences.

In this Pandemic, no country is safe until all countries are safe.

Gangho and gangster-like leaders who are adamant in opening up their countries for some economic head starts and gains, thereby exposing their citizens to more imported infections, will be the primary cause and worry for the rest of the world that follow the zero-tolerance approach. Such careless and myopic leaders may believe they can live with the coronavirus but in reality they are courting deaths and further destruction to their countries' economy, as well as the safety of 9 billion people in the world.

Such irresponsible leaders, thinking that they are responsible for the well-being of their citizens, are actually doing things against the well-being of their citizens and the rest of the world.

Living with the coronavirus is easy to say but difficult to implement. It can only be implemented if the whole world, not just a single or few countries, can achieve Herd Immunity.

Herd Immunity can only be achieved if the vaccine is effective and long-lasting for at least a year or more.

If the effectiveness of the present Covid vaccines available last only two months, or thereabouts, it is foolishness to talk about Herd Immunity, let alone achieving it. You are going to deceive yourself, no one else. You will only achieve a Hurt Community!

The benefits of the vaccines do not outweigh the risks simply because the benefits are subjective and the long-term risks are still very much unknown, even to the vaccines producers themselves!

Moreover, Herd Immunity MAY ONLY be achieved if at least 80% of the population, across the board, are fully vaccinated with really effective vaccines, not experimental vaccines that still have numerous loopholes to plug. Requiring a third and/or more booster shots is a clear indication that loopholes are still being exposed and forthcoming. Using such unreliable vaccines, with proven ineffectiveness of fully vaccinated still get infected enmass, will only result in a Hurt Community instead of Herd Immunity.

So, a few words to the gangho or ganster-like leaders:

For goodness sake, do not play with the lives of your people, irrespective of whether they are old and having some pre-existing medical conditions, or they are very young and do not have the vaccines available to them. You will have a lot of blood on your hands if you try to play God. You are ignorant and fallible. You are not God!

Be responsible!

How The US Plays Out Australia

 

This is another example of how the US is habitually playing out its allies:

US frozen beef exports to China has surged in recent months, to serve aa an alternative channel of supply, while Beijing blocks imports of beef from Australia.

US exported US$107 million worth of frozen beef to China in July, compared to just US$35 million from Australia, China's traditional exporter.

China informally banned a series of goods from Australia, including coal, timber and wine last year amid 18 months of souring relations between Canberra and Beijing.

How can ASEAN countries trust the words of Kamala Harris?

Singapore and Vietnam leaders will be fools if they failed to see through the thin veils of unrespectful US diplomatic aggression, intruding into and invading the peace and tranquility of the region by inflammatory rhetoric to stir up troubles instead of ensuring long-lasting peaceful co-existence.

In the past 200 years or more, everywhere that the US poked a finger into, there was war, conflict and/or disaster. For example, Afghanistan, Horn of Africa, Indian Ocean, Iraq, Libya, Nepal, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, and, if course, the famous US-Vietnam War, just to mention a few.

Even Australia, the staunchest supporter and ally of the US, has been played out wholesale. How can anyone trust the US any more than trusting the little boy who cried "Wolves!"?
