Afganistan Collapse


The Republicans are just a bunch of trolls who just say anything they want to rewrite history and troll Biden and the Democrats.

Broke away for the house. Here is the hearing on WaPo.

I’m half. Father is American, mother is Japanese.

So you’re familiar with the atrocities committed by Japan and the decisions their leadership made that earned them the ass whooping of the century?

THIS is what history will remember:

 
I am one of those that hold the view dropping the atomic bombs was a flex against other nations to show our might. Particularly the second bomb.
 
The Japanese army was fighting for every inch in the island campaign. There was no reason to believe they would fight with less ferocity in an invasion of Japan. I’m sure Truman believed it would save a lot of lives and it definitely did. Unfortunately at the expense of many Japanese civilians.

The second bomb is all on Japanese leadership. They didn’t believe the US could do it again.

Imagine the shiver down Hitler’s spine.

Or the second thought through every Soviet’s mind, “well, they’ve done it before” at any point of escalation during the Cold War.

It changed the entire course of history

Hitler was dead by then. Japan was on its last legs and many speculate they were going to surrender soon without the US having to invade as it was clear they had lost.

dunno about the hitler thing...there is a theory that hitler escaped and went to south american....that if you believe in that sorta thing

here


take a read
 
Could have, I still have no clue why the nazis went to south America. It just doesn't make any sense at all to me.
 
Thought they moved to countries with no UN/US agreements so they could never be deported and put on trial.


My cursory Google confirms that, but I guess there were already a lot of Germans floating around down there and they had strong ties as the contributing factor.

Who were these many speculators?

The Philippines, Iwo Jima and Okinawa were the bloodiest battles in the Pacific theatre so these speculations seem dubious to me.

Wiki isn’t a legitimate source.
