Was Hiroshima an act of terrorism?

[Anvil Kasseri]

The Potsdam Declaration demanded unconditional surrender. It was not 'backing down' anything.

Unconditional surrender means no surrender conditions.

The Potsdam Proclamation was a list of surrender conditions.

The truth isn't a lie. Hiroshima was a major military center with tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers awaiting deployment to resist our invasion, and was the military headquarters in charge of repelling that invasion.

Sure- and 18 million European minorities , including 6 million Jews- were weakening the Aryan genetic strain and supporting the allies financially and through terrorism, sabotage and subversion.

Different flags- same assholes.

Kokura Arsenal was a massive (4100 feet by 2000 feet) arms production complex.

See post #526, you contemptible liar.

The nuclear attacks were once obviously an act of terrorism. The entire point was to terrorize and coerce the Japanese into an immediate unconditional surrender.

So the morality of it is not even a debate. The question is if it was strategically necessary given the war aims of the allies.

We have to admit that ending the war rapidly, coercing an unconditional surrender, occupying Japan, and turning what had historically been an aggressor nation into essentially a pacifist nation can be seen ultimately as a huge success for Truman's legacy.

There have been unsubstantiated claims that Japan was on the verge of surrender. I do not buy it. Mere weeks before the attack on Hiroshima, the Japanese fought tenaciously to the death, to the last man on Okinawa. That does not sound to me like they were ready to just give it up and run up the white flag of surrender

There were no nuclear attacks on Japan.

Good grief.

Except, they weren't.

Hiroshima on the other hand actually was a huge military target.

See post #526, you contemptible liar.

So your rhetoric regarding Kokura Arsenal is just bullshit.

The truth is not a lie. Kokura Arsenal was a massive (4100 feet by 2000 feet) arms production complex.

Trying to piggy back off what you read other people write?

I am not a trained particle physicist, but you obviously have never even set foot in a high school or college introductory physics class.

The Fat man bomb was based on the energy of nuclear fission - making it the first nuclear weapon ever used on humans.

What about Hiroshima?

Repeated lies never become truth, you mendacious establishment parrot.

For obvious reasons, you neglected to provide a link to Wikipedia

Here is what Wikipedia says

"The United States detonated two nuclear weapons over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively"

The facts are JAPAN ATTACKED US at Pearl Harbor...we were not in the war yet...
Japan gets what it deserves what it gets for starting a war with us..period

In war no country has any responsibility to tell the country they are at war with
what they can or cannot do or when they will do it..the narrative is a silly notion...
Did Japan tell us before they bombed Pearl Harbor...NO!

[Minister of Truth]

I can certainly feel sympathy for Japan, even though I agree with the bombings. One other notorious, frequently criticized bombing, that also turned 75 back in February, is Dresden. No sympathy for the krauts, from me. Never seen the 200k figure disputed before, btw.
