Did the US drop nuclear bombs on exclusively military points and kill exclusively military personell in Japan? Have you not seen what Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq look like?
The battle is where it is. Who told you it is confined to Donbas? You have been told before, that Ukraine is not winning this war and Ukraine losing a third of it's power stations is just the beginning. The longer Zelensky waits to sign that non-NATO agreement, the bigger pile of rubble Ukraine will be.
I don't agree with you too much, but I do agree with your first sentence. However, according to the experts, which I don't claim to be, concluded more lives were saved on all sides by dropping those two bombs as opposed to invading Japan. The US ordered five hundred thousand Purple Hearts be produced as part of its logistics for the invasion.

Good old American hypocracy. "We investigated ourselves and we found out that us nuclear bombing Japanese cities and civilians was somehow a good thing so we also issued ourselves medals for it."
I am still baffled that invasion of Iraq was not met with a wave of sanctions and calls for reparation worldwide. Just a shoulder shrug, oh well...
Man, ETH should demand their degree back if your justification for Russia committing war crimes in Ukraine is the US using nuclear bombs in WW2.
Let me try - Russians committed numerous war crimes in WW2. Therefore the US was justified in invading Iraq. See how stupid that argument sounds when I make it? It’s even dumber when you do it.
Oh buddy, just ask your imaginary Ukrainian family and they will tell you:
"Funny thing, that it's always other countries criticized for their war actions, but never the US. Somehow it's never time to talk about the war crimes commited by the US."
By the way, do you even accept the fact that the US has commited war crimes? Yes or no question.
Of course. So has Switzerland. This thread is about which country is committing the majority of war crimes in Ukraine (hint, it's Russia), and then having a f*cking conniption when there's an explosion on a bridge - which, I believe you called "a terrorist act". So, since you want the same rules for everybody (and Russia is now getting long range missiles from Iran), I guess it's time for the US and NATO to start equipping Ukraine with Tomahawks and ATACMs and start removing power plants and playgrounds in Russia. What do you say? Red Square can be red with Russian blood? Same rules for everybody, right? That is what you want.
Are you nuts? When people were using the railroads to "populate this country" the migrants were pretty much all white. By 1950 the USA was 90% white and the 10% was black people who didn't "migrate" here.
White guys from New York mingling with white guys from Nebraska isn't the "melting pot". The melting pot is other nationalities coming to America and becoming AMERICAN.
Swedes and Germans becoming American. Nigerians and Cubans becoming American.
that's a wild interpretation of history
italians weren't considered 'white' back then - they were undesirable.
jews weren't white either, etc.
I mean sure, that they looked the same as English and German ethnics made it much easier for italians and jews to succeed and melt in, but they were not 'white guys.' They were viewed as coming from a different culture, not the same, and not-'American' like white anglo saxon protestants were 'American.'
the different appearance of non-European immigrants is a handicap for new immigratns in the US, but given the massive current success of asian immigrants here, it can be overcome pretty easily if you care about education and manners.
They weren't "viewed" as coming from a different culture and "not-American". They literally came from a different culture and they weren't Americans yet.
The "melting pot" is the way the 2nd and 3rd generations of these people were no longer speaking with accents and were indistinguishable from other Americans.
People don't like "others". This isn't unique to America and it isn't exclusive to race or ethnicity.

Google the Battle of Okinawa.
No historian would deny that the a-bombs saved Japanese lives.

not sure how you are defining 'American.' If they were here and citizens they were 'American.'

Well the US had their own conniption when twin towers blew up, so I think Americans can most certainly understand Russian feelings very well :)
The US and NATO will not attack Russia, because it would mean a nuclear war. But they can certainly deliver some Tomahawks to Ukraine to be shooting at Donbas. Do you see where this is going? Do you still believe Ukraine will win this war? I believe either Zelensky will sign the non-NATO agreement or Ukraine (including Donbas) will turn to ruble.
oh I never made any of those claims simpleton, we are still laughing at you 🤡😂
I don't care about you and other kindergartners :) Btw, wrong again. I have posted under multiple handles here, but I'm most certainly not Carmine nor AdultInThisRoom. Now goodbye.

Russia now considers Donbas part of Russia. So, what’s the difference between shooting missiles into Donetsk and Moscow?

No historian would deny that the a-bombs saved Japanese lives.
Killing more than 200.000 civilians, women and children included. For months afterwards, many people continued to die from the effects of burns, radiation sickness, and injuries, compounded by illness and malnutrition.

Translate that :)
Извините, русский не является моим родным языком. Американский английский. Мои предки были французами и немцами. Я говорю немного, но не слишком много.Поскольку у нас здесь живет много мексиканцев, мой лучший второй язык - испанский. Моя жена, которая родом из Литвы, помогла мне с этим постом.

What a humane act.
The Japanese forced the Okinawan men to fight, killed the ones who wouldn't, and then hid behind the women and children.
After they lost they told the women to kill themselves and their children to save them from the "dishonor" of surrendering to Americans.
At least 20% and up to 50% of the civilians on Okinawa died in the battle.
An invasion of the Japanese mainland would have made Okinawa look like tickle fight.
The bombings were horrific to be sure but the millions of lives spared by them would disagree with your definition of "humane".
Putin fartsniffers are all righteous when it is pointed out that LBJ and Bush II were certainly war criminals, butt are all Russian propagandist, whatabouters when Putin does far worse. Cowardly hypocrites, all of them. Worse than the "progressive" race-baiters during the BLM riots, and that says something.
