        It killed probably more than 100 000 civilians in an horrific manner.

        And all you got is a “What about it ?” …

        The more I think about it the more I consider the US to be one of the most barbaric and violence normalizing countries.

        Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Abu Ghraib, gun violence, enabling the Israeli genocide of Palestinians, the death penalty. Is there any kind of violence you haven’t mastered yet ?

      Yep. That’s kinda where I was headed. Pearl harbour is one thing. What the Japanese did and the bombing campaigns of the allies were both war crimes. But we haven’t talked about the allied side until fairly recently and then only quietly.

        The bombing or Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been heavily criticised right from the start, and from the top of the US government at that.
