79 years ago on August 9, 1945 the 2nd worst genocide in human history occured at Nagasaki

Today I learned that the atomic bombs were a bigger genocide than the concurrent Nazi Holocaust and Japanese war crimes.

I’m not saying they were perfectly justified, but come on.

Crazy that people think these are comparable.

The firebombings of tokyo killed far more btw, they're just not as sexy to talk about as big explosions. Nor with these boring firebombings do you get narcissists like oppenheimer to play these ideological fallen messiahs.

BTW there is ample information online to see what the Japanese themselves think of their place in the war and the atomic bombs.

Japan's only regret is they didnt get to develop the atomic bomb first to drop on China

If it's not love
Then it's the bomb
Then it's the bomb
That will bring us together

Sad day. Today with Tik Tok we can instantaneouly out War Criminals like Truman, Roosevelt, etc.

You mean the Chinese didn't murder 100 million of their own people. I take it genocides have different meanings if they're making shoes for Lebron?

Malmo is correct. Stalin and Mao killed more of their own population than Hitler killed Jews and Gypsies.

The worst genocide is the Muslim Ottoman erasure, rape, and murder of the Greek and Byzantine Christian City of Constantinople in 1453. ——————— “All the valuables and other booty were taken to their camp, and as many as sixty thousand Christians who had been captured. The crosses which had been placed on the roofs or the walls of churches were torn down and trampled. Women were raped, virgins deflowered and youths forced to take part in shameful obscenities. The nuns left behind, even those who were obviously such, were disgraced with foul debaucheries.” - Leonard of Chios ——————————————————————“ After having completely overcome the enemy, the soldiers began to plunder the city. They enslaved boys and girls and took silver and gold vessels, precious stones and all sorts of valuable goods and fabrics from the imperial palace and the houses of the rich... Every tent was filled with handsome boys and beautiful girls.” - Tursun Beg ——————————————————————-“As soon as the Turks were inside the City, they began to seize and enslave every person who came their way; all those who tried to offer resistance were put to the sword. In many places the ground could not be seen, as it was covered by heaps of corpses.” - Nicolò Barbaro——————————————————————In the past we received our wounds in Asia and in Africa(North Africa)—in foreign countries. This time, however, we are being attacked in Europe, in our own land, in our own house. You will protest that the Turks moved from Asia to Greece a long time ago, that the Mongols established themselves in Europe and the Arabs occupied parts of Spain, having approached through the straits of Gibraltar. We have never lost a city or a place comparable to Constantinople
— Pope Pius II

Not 500K invasion casualties, more like 30 million executed, worked to death, beheaded, raped to death, experimented upon etc etc.

Japanese war crimes

During its imperial era, the Empire of Japan committed numerous war crimes and crimes against humanity across various Asian-Pacific nations, notably during the Second Sino-Japanese and Pacific Wars. These incidents have been...

Japan shouldn't have started the war. They fukd around and found out.

Can't go back and relive the past. Facebook users wouldn't have allowed the US genocides of Nagasaki, Hiroshima, China, Vietnam, etc.

Nor the Japanese genocide of China, the Philippines, and the entire Pacific rim.

And to think the Muslim world (with the support of brain dead Lefties) still claims the victim card over the Crusades, which happened centuries BEFORE their brutal conquest of Constantinople.

The past is the past. In China we know that from 1880 to 2000 Japan single handedly created the East Asia Economic Miracle. Today China is creating a wonderful South America, Central America, Africa and Middle East. For China it's best to make people's lives happier.

While China puts Muslims's in concentration camps.

That is correct. The firebombing of Tokyo in March, 1945 was called "Operation Meetinghous" where over 300 B-29s dropped thousands of Napalm carrying bombs.

Over 100,000 people were killed & most of Tokyo destroyed as this was the single deadliest air raid of WW2.

Still no Japanese surrender & the decision was made to drop the Atomic bomb on Hiroshima in August, 1945. Still no surrender & a second atomic bomb was dropped a few days later on Nagasaki.

Finally the Japanese surrendered. This was cutting it close because the U.S. only had made three (3) atomic bombs - one tested at Trinity site & the two others dropped on Japan.

Imagine trying to take over the world and getting mad when people bomb you.
