      I tried to imagine being told my whole city is annihilated. I’d probably ask the same thing, assuming they couldn’t possibly mean the entire city is literally gone. And of course they didn’t yet know such a thing was possible, leveling an entire city in an instant. Her response is so chilling: “We’ve been hit by a new kind of bomb”

      That soldier that saved Takashi carried him through the burning city. After walking for a couple of miles, Takashi could hear someone shouting out to him from a distance. It was his father, who had miraculously survived. Takashi could see him sprinting to the soilder, Takashi saying, “That’s my father!” Takashi’s father took his son from the soilder and hugged him so hard he “shook from the effort.” In tears, his father bowed over and over to soldier, sobbing, “Thank you!! You’re a savior!!” Takashi, crying as he recounted said, “It was the most relieving moment of my life.” 🥺

      Spies inside the government enforced a policy of oppression against Japan
      In November, he drafted the draft ``Hull Note'', which was a de facto ultimatum to Japan in negotiations between Japan and the United States, and drove the Tojo Cabinet into war with the United States.
      According to the Venona documents, both President Curry (19), who promoted these anti-Japanese policies, and White, the Director of the Monetary Research Bureau of the Ministry of Finance (20), were Soviet spies.
      Thus, in December 1941, the US-Japan War broke out. On December 9, two days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Chinese Communist Party issued a statement that the Pacific Anti-Japanese United Front had been completed with the outbreak of the US-Japan War. The Soviet Comintern's strategy of using the United States to crush Japan became a reality 21 years later.
      As described above, the Venona documents, the Comintern documents, the confidential documents of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, etc. became public, and the Roosevelt administration, which used the Comintern, the Chinese Communist Party, and "Soviet spies" as important, before and during the war. And what he did after the war is gradually becoming clearer.

A lot of people entered those cities after the nukes and lived full lives. There were health problems, but a lot of them were not fatal.

    Looking back at this as a 23 year old, it’s hard to deny how cruel this was from a Japanese citizens perspective. Yes it ended a war, but perspectives of war are different all around the world. I’m American so we see it as the necessary cost to end the war. But I don’t think someone in Japan would have that same perspective. War is complicated, at least to talk about. There will always be multiple angles and arguments. All we can do is take what’s happened in the past and try to better our society from the knowledge Gained. But what do I know, I’m a 23 year old American who is just going off of what I feel is right. Just an opinion.

How many innocents die on a regular basis on this planet is just disgusting and the fact that this will never change makes it more disturbing. We fight against if for hundred of years, but it is just impossible to live in peace. This is also not only about war. We as individuals are so incredibly lucky that we are born in another time and in another place. Others don't and they're in my mind, all the time. I feel so sorry for them and it makes me hate humanity even more. Sorry for my little rant.

      I disagree, the Japanese aren't taught that America did that, they're not taught we're the bad guys. If they do happen to learn so in the future, I'm sure most understand the context. If anything, despite how scary living in a post nuclear war can be... I also believe if shocked humanity enough to make us question our decisions from then on. Unfortunately people have forgotten the horror of nuclear detonation.

    the same fate those people suffered in Hiroshima will befall all of us on this planet if we ended up in an all out nuclear war. the USA has 6800 nuclear weapons, russia has 7200 nuclear weapons, china has fewer than 200 nukes, and north korea has less than 60. but if you combine the arsenals of all 4 countries the amount of firepower that would be released during a full out nuclear war would kill at least 2/3 of the world population, and the other 1/3 would likely perish due to fallout and famine
