Nagasaki anniversary.

' Defending ' implies a threat. Huindreds of thousands of Japanese men, women and children did not come under that heading.
Civilians are only ' military targets ' in the sadistic minds of corrupt warlords. Nagasaki, Hiroshima and Tokyo were population centers. You lie to cover Lucifer's ass.

Hiroshima held tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers awaiting deployment to resist our invasion of Kyushu.

Hiroshima also held the military headquarters in charge of repelling our invasion of Kyushu.

Kokura Arsenal (the intended target of the second atomic bomb) was a massive (4100 feet by 2000 feet) machine gun factory. It was Japan's main source of light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and 20mm anti-aircraft machine guns, as well as ammo for all of those machine guns.

The Mitsubishi Steel and Arms Works (destroyed by the second atomic bomb) produced steel for Japan's war industry and used some of that steel to produce 100 naval torpedoes a month.

The Mitsubishi-Urakami Ordnance Plant (destroyed by the second atomic bomb) produced 400 aerial torpedoes a month.

Pearl Harbor had been thought immune to air-dropped torpedoes because the harbor was so shallow that an air-dropped torpedo would hit bottom and embed in the mud. Aside from Tokyo Bay, Pearl Harbor was the only place in the world with such natural defenses against air-dropped torpedoes. Japan had to develop special torpedo technology designed just for Pearl Harbor in order to attack us. The Mitsubishi-Urakami Ordnance Plant was the place that designed and built those torpedoes.

Here's a picture of the Mitsubishi Urakami Ordnance Plant after the atomic bomb:

There was lots or war industry in Tokyo as well. The third atomic bomb would have been dropped on Tokyo to give the Emperor a front row view of atomic carnage.

Educated people, after all, understand very well about war crimes, like deliberately annihilating large civilian populations

Aerial bombardment of major metropolitan areas was standard practice at the time, it was not a war crime which is why not even the Germans or Japanese were ever charged for their bombing campaigns against civilian population centers.

They needed something to threaten with, obviously. The Blitz was clearly criminal (like the Allied bombing of German civilian centres), but child's play compared with the mass-murder of Japanese non-combatants.

Japan was engaged in total war there were no non-combatants.

Say the supporter of infanticide and abortion.

Oh the hypocrisy

Democrats are the party of infanticide, socialism, government control, smashing Free Speech rights, giving free stuff to illegal aliens, and now they are the party of mobs in the streets burning and destroying cities. See the burning cities and torn down statues, and you see the democrat party world. Mobs.

Republicans are the party of Traditional Values, Liberty and freedom. Donald Trump gave us the lowest unemployment rates since John F Kennedy until the virus hit, and now Democrats are trying to keep the virus going because they are so evil they are happy to destroy the economy simply to defeat Trump. That’s right. Masks and continued shutdowns are a joke, based totally on fear. There is a 0.04 death rate for Corona. People have more chance of dying from the Flu.

What are you quacking about, child? Better wait till your gangs have overthrown the Weimar Government and all mockery is put a stop to. What the hell has your Fuhrer got to do with Republicans? He is, as you know, a senile Nazi.

Crime is crime, whatever the criminals' line in bullshit.

See a psychologist, child. If you'r current Fuhrer declares total war on China, does that justify their burning you to death as you cower under your bed? Grow up.

Total war is when every segment of the society is engaged in the war effort meaning there is no longer such a thing as a civilian. The Japanese were giving spears to women, children, and old people and employing them in armament production, there were no civilians in Japan.

I'm afraid all the criminals are dead. Like the Spanish Inquisitors, the murderers of slaves and many other enemies of the human race.

It wasn't a crime, show me the international treaty or law of war it violated. Why weren't the Germans or Japanese charged with said crime?

I've added it to my thread-ban list.

This thread ban thing is an curious feature. I've never seen anything like this in a messageboard before.

I can think of one guy on a totally different website who I'd exclude from my threads if I could. But since he's not on this site that's a moot point.

I think if I use this feature at all, I will use it sparingly. If I exclude lots of people who disagree with me, I'll be depriving myself of the opportunity to argue with them and point out how they are wrong.
