Probably the most effective decision done in this war
Easy for you to say. I am willing to bet neither you nor your loved ones were so much as the least bit in harms way under those falling bombs. It is easy to discount the suffering of others whom we differ from geographically and ethnicallyg.
without killing many American soldiers in the process.
Japan was defeated militarily before the first atomic bombing. How exactly was the emaciated Japanese war machine in a position to inflict the unbearable causalities we are told the bomb was supposed to prevent?
It also ramped up nationalism in the U.S., which is why he got re-elected.
Yeah I am familiar with American nationalism, people have an enormous capacity to hate and love misguidedly. Iraq attacked us on 9-11, and if you don't buy that —they got illegal nukes dontcha know.
Hitler would've been elected/ risen to power through coup eitherways.
But democracy failed to offer Hitler only the coup option, instead it fitted into Nazi plans. My point was to fire a shot at democracy-lovers on their high-horse.
In-fact, why are you ignoring the fact that Hirohito the Emperor of Japan sanctioned the massacre of many Chinese, and essentially engulfing the entire east Pacific Ocean in total war?
Japan launched the cowardly wicked pearl harbour attack, it raped and massacred people like the civilians Nanking, pursued a Japanese supremacist empire. I am not saying they were in anyway morally superior to the Americans. My point was to show what perfidious evil a democracy can perform: A democracy can use the pretext of war to position civilians as Guniea pigs to test a new weapon and also send a thuggish threat to the Soviet Union.
Don't put me in the position as a defender of all monarchies in general. NO! Don't try to put me in that awkward position. I was defending monarchy in Morocco today, not the Japanese monarchy of the 20th century.
Your arguments against democracy are pretty stupid imo
I never spoke about my problems with democracy in general yet; I was about to do so but somehow you have preempted me.
