Weird seeing US media finally come out and halfway say this considering how many articles I’ve read that try to deny it. In all my life I’ve met only a handful of americans who didn’t think using nuclear weapons to mass-murder civilians was ‘necessary bECAuSe BuSHiDo’ or some stupid fucking shit. When you talk with americans about the fact that the US knew Japan’s surrender was already in progress and this grandfather of warcrimes was done just to prevent surrender to the Soviets (essentially just violent anti-communism), psycho burgerland fucks still defend the atrocity.
Yeah, it’s not the sort of admission I ever expected to see in US media either. Handy for talking to libs since it’s the only sort of source they’ll consider.
