I’m sure China was happy about it
I don’t care about Japan. In the scope of human history, I don’t think obliterating citizens including innocent children should be taken lightly.I'm supposed to believe bum ass TLR posters care about post-WW2 Japan and yall can't even unify as black folks because some youtube personality told yall otherwise?
Pardon my skepticism
It inspired Akira and Evangelion, sounds like a fair trade tbh.
Inspired Godzilla too
Please explain to me how it’s a bait thread or elementary in anyway. You all throw that word out over everything. Who am I fukking baiting? I acknowledged the horrific acts committed by Japanese Military. The coming of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were still crimes against humanity. They ordered the whole sale obliteration of children to win a war. I can’t agree with the premise that this is something that should be measured lightly because the Japanese military was evil.

Reading about the lead up to the bomb is very interesting, the plans they scrapped and the casualties they were willing to take, operation downfall. shyt, most don’t even know about the firebombing on Japan.Nobody wanted to invade Japan on ground and a lot of nikkas, literally, would’ve been crash test dummies trying to fight soldiers on the ground who didn’t think twice about committing kamikaze...
A lot of our grandfathers and uncles specifically...that would’ve been a bigger L for America than Vietnam by far...
HowAnybody ever read the story about a Japanese dude who got caught up in BOTH bombings?? Dude said that when the second bomb hit he legitimately thought it was the end of the world
You survive the first bomb like that was close. Then you look around and the entire city is

How
I always think the wildest part about his story was the fact that he survived a nuke and went to work just a few days later
"Where were you at? fukk all those bandages"
"I got fukking nuked you ain't hear all that? "
"This is the last time, Yamaguchi-san You can be replaced "

Despite being on the verge of collapse, Yamaguchi dragged himself out of bed on the morning of August 9 and reported for work at Mitsubishi’s Nagasaki office. Around 11 a.m., he found himself in a meeting with a company director who demanded a full report on Hiroshima. The engineer recounted the scattered events of August 6—the blinding light, the deafening boom—but his superior accused him of being mad.
And then he caught shyt from his boss before lunch
"Where were you at? fukk all those bandages"
"I got fukking nuked you ain't hear all that? "
"This is the last time, Yamaguchi-san You can be replaced "
How could a single bomb destroy an entire city? Yamaguchi was trying to explain himself when the landscape outside suddenly exploded with another iridescent white flash. Yamaguchi dropped to the ground just seconds before the shock wave shattered the office windows and sent broken glass and debris careening through the room. “I thought the mushroom cloud had followed me from Hiroshima,” he later told the newspaper The Independent.
The atom bomb that hit Nagasaki was even more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima, but as Yamaguchi would later learn, the city’s hilly landscape and a reinforced stairwell had combined to muffle the blast inside the office. His bandages were blown off, and he was hit by yet another surge of cancer-causing radiation, but he emerged relatively unhurt. For the second time in three days, he’d had the misfortune of being within two miles of a nuclear explosion. For the second time, he’d been fortunate enough to survive.
After fleeing from the skeleton of the Mitsubishi building, Yamaguchi rushed through a bomb-ravaged Nagasaki to check on his wife and son. He feared the worst when he saw a section of his house had been reduced to rubble, but he soon found both had sustained only superficial injuries. His wife had been out looking for burn ointment for her husband, and when the explosion came, she and the baby had taken refuge in a tunnel. It was yet another strange twist of fate. If Yamaguchi hadn’t been hurt at Hiroshima, his family might have been killed at Nagasaki.
I just went down the YouTube rabbit hole and saw how powerful the nukes we have today are. Sh*t is absolutely terrifying The Tsar bomb would take out New York City and the entire northern half of New Jersey
Did you see that Russia released de-classified footage of the Tsar Bomb test New Video Shows Largest Hydrogen Bomb Ever ExplodedYou know whats crazier? The Tsar Bomba was originally 100 megatons, but before they went through with the test the Soviets scaled it down to 50 megatons because they was worried the damage and fallout would hurt their country
the one they tested was still some scary stuff tho
