OAN– Today has marked 76 years since a U.S. B29 bomber dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima, Japan during World War II. On August 6, 1945, the first nuclear bomb to ever be deployed killed approximately 140,000 people instantly.
The nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, coupled with a second bomb in Nagasaki, led to Japan’s surrender. The bombings became the cornerstone to ending the war.
Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga delivered a speech to commemorate the nation’s losses as well as the victims of ongoing aftereffects of the nuclear desolation. more
And they deserved it.
The commies should be next.
George Takei to remind us all of his interment and Asian Santa in 3,2,1….

People should be hanging from lampposts over this!
Nuking Japan saved at least 4 of my uncles, 2 in the Navy, 1 a Marine who had survived Iwo Jima and my dads next oldest brother a US Army paratrooper who went on to Japan to serve occupation duty after the war ended. I don’t think that if God forbid Henry Wallace had been President instead of Truman after FDR’s death that he would’ve nuked Japan since he was a pinko and commie sympathizer. And I’d bet that Harry Truman slept very well that night after hearing that we had nuked Japan and once again at Nagasaki and ending World War 2.
We won the war, Japan won the peace!
BEST DECISION EVER
LIKE GEOFF ABOVE, MY UNCLE WAS A MEDIC, FIRST WAVE TINIAN, SAIPAN, IWO
MY DAD WAS ON THE SHIPS THAT SUPPORTED THE INVASIONS
I’VE SPENT TOO MANY MINUTES IN THE FACES OF LIBERAL ASSHOLES WHO ABHOR THIS GREAT DECISION, AND SIDE WITH THE JAPS
DO WE NEED TO REVIEW WHAT THE JAPS DID TO THE FILIPINOS, CHINESE, ETC..???
OLYMPICS ASIDE, FUCK YOU JAPAN, AND YOUR ATTEMPTED TAKEOVER
BIG FUCKING MISTAKE
And they thought TODAY was too hot in the Olympic Women’s Marathon…
LOL. Let’s see, in 1972 one of my crews best friends was a JAP kid. So Jr. year high school, cute little history teacher is playing, what did your daddy do during the war. Which was working out cool, until she called on Mr’ My Jap Pal. She was like oh shit. To late. His answer, my dad was a Kamikaze Pilot. Flew 28 missions. The entire class roared. Mr. Jap MoFo was best man at my wedding and we still keep in touch. Love the guy.
The people of Japan allowed the Japanese leaders to assume too much power and make some really stupid decisions that got a lot of them killed.
Good thing that could never happen here.
Wait…what?
And now we have Anime and cosplay.
The most popular song title of August 1945:
“They Used to Call It Here-o-Shima But It’s Where-o-Shima Now.”
😉
Hanoverfist, my 1979 Mazda RX-7 was built in Hiroshima.
Loved that little black 4-speed.
Rotary engine, built like a tank with a 20 gallon gas tank!
The Japanese built some good shit once we taught them war was just not their thing…
Need to drop #3 on DC.
LIBERAL MEN ARE THE MOST PUSSIFIED BREED ON THE PLANET, BAR NONE
THE MOST FECKLESS, USELESS, WHINY-VOICED, SCRAWNY-ARMED, DICKLESS BREED EVER
GO OUT AND ABOUT, OBSERVE, PROVE ME WRONG
AND MAKE SURE YOU TELL THEM THAT THEY NEED A BIGGER MASK

Agreed, starting with Traitor Joe, for announcing to the world that it was Seal Team 6 that took out Osama Bin Laden.
WTF was that?!
With all the so-called “suicides” that have been going I imagine that their biggest job is to keep Jackass Joe in the dark to prevent him from bragging about them!
Ever since we did that, Japan has been sending us great cars and no bullshit Chinese products. Fire up a warhead for Wuhan so we don’t get anymore of their bullshit Chinese products.
Extortion 17 / Joe “Bragging Big Mouth” taking credit for SEAL Team 6’s success after he voted to scrub the mission. Too bad he wasn’t on the Chinook ! MFA
President Harry Truman would have been Impeached if he had not ordered the use of those Atomic Bombs. The grieving relatives of the hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded American servicemen would have demanded it. That was President Truman’s opinion. The Department of Defense estimated the dead and wounded would far exceed the causalities of Peleliu, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa, where the Japs fought to the death and the American casualties nearly equaled the enemy dead. The Purple Hearts that have been awarded since World War II ended were made in 1945 in anticipation of those American casualties. Those Atomic Bombs saved more American lives than the combined Japanese deaths at Hiroshima and Nagasaki from any cause, including the effects of radiation. It also saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of Allied Prisoners of War and civilians who would have been slaughtered by their vicious captors when Japan was invaded. Look up the murder of American POWs on Palawan Island, or the murder of Australian and British POWs during the Sandakan Death Marches on British North Borneo in 1945 if you want to confirm this fact. The Japanese would have lost millions of civilians during the years it might have taken to subdue the Emperor’s servile population, if Okinawa was any indication of the cost of invading an island crowded with non-combatants. Attacking Pearl Harbor had serious consequences.
Amen Marco, and if we had to invade Japan instead and lost a large part of that generation, the baby boomers would never have existed probably including my dad since he might have had to fight the Japs instead of going to Germany in the Air Force after WW 2. My grandmother hated Japs because she had 3 of her sons serving in the military during WW2 and one of my uncles married a very nice Japanese lady after the war was over.
My dad was a young Marine at the close of WWII. The atom bombs probably saved his life, therefore, my life.
