What did you even learn in History class? Kids in schools and in colleges these days are being indoctrinated instead of being educated.
Not just you, but also everyone else who jumps on the "Blame America First" bandwagon before looking at the history and the reasoning behind why the United States dropped nuclear weapons on Japan at the end of WWII. Why do you suppose that, then democratic president, Harry Truman, gave the final approval to drop Fat Man and Little Boy on the two Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima? Japan was a much different country than it is today in this post WWII era. It's ideology was nationalistic and militaristic. Their brutality was on par with Nazi Germany. Do some research, Japan's invasion of Manchuria, its invasion of the South Pacific Islands, the way that Japanese soldiers raped, murdered, brutalized, enslaved, and starved the citizens of the countries they invaded. How Japan also starved, murdered and tortured the allied POWs they captured. Research Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and how that after the fall of Mussolini's Italy and after the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany, the remaining axis power, Japan, refused to surrender and vowed to continue fighting. Japan was not a peaceful and innocent bystander in the second world war.
Whoa there, you misunderstood my post and twisted my words around lol.
