Forums → WEPR → North Korea Vows to Nuke U.S.A.

From Wiki:
At the time of its bombing, Hiroshima was a city of both industrial and military significance. A number of military camps were located nearby, including the headquarters of Field Marshal Shunroku Hata's 2nd General Army which commanded the defense of all southern Japan.

What good would that do? You've said yourself that shelters were useless.

Who says I won't justify it?

A political decision that incorporated a military decision

I'm not here to justify the political reasons behind it..but the military reasons.

Exactly..they could still defend themselves.

Even with a dwindling supply of oil..they could still hold themselves out for some time..and that is time that the U.S., at the time, did not want to waste.

With this blockade..the U.S. could also be potentially strengthening the Japanese in case they decided to go on an all-out attack

Actually..the reason I won't justify their decision is because the outcome would be terrible for them.

and attacking the U.S. would be the equivalent of signing their own death wish

But this relies on the Japanese heeding the warning of the U.S. (which showed they did not wish to do). It isn't the U.S.'s fault that the Japanese did not wish to adequately prepare their citizens for the attack

keep the sea blockade in place and they would have no ability to defend anymore. you where shocking them already. there is no need to shoot someone in the head when they are hanging helpless in a strop.

it's no attack it's a nuke. nukes are just more easy then a attack. thats why you justify it right? because it's more easy.

now tell me how are you going to defend against a nuke strike that youve never seen or heard of befor?
japan can't be blamed here either.

the winner prints the history books. if they wanted to let it see as a military operation then that is what it will be called.
reality however is different. most of the high heads in the usa military at that time wasn't even asked their opinion on dropping the bombs by the government. it was all a political game. (source, that link i posted twice "the bombs were unnecessarily&quot

tell them to keep the air alarms on for 45 mins.

then why did usa fly by whit a plane to begin whit?

japan would have known it had no option of peace on their terms and they would have surrendered already.
JAPAN KNEW IT LOST ALREADY.

but by that time russia would already have invaded.

Not helpless. More like shooting a man in the head because if you got close he would stab you.

You made the analogy of the gun yourself.

but holding a lost line when seeing an entire city become ashes and bones was ignorant and stupid.

You have one wee link

I would not be surprised if a few Japanese people had edited that Wiki page. It isn't a book, it's a page that everyone can take a pen to.

[That moment when you had a ****-ton typed out..and accidentally exited the effing page]

we can justify nuclear warefare by your logic.
if we all think like you then we would all be dead already.

ow hack, just read what i said to emp

there was non. so you justify a political lie.

and what kind of thread is defense?
as long you dont enter there is no danger.

they could maybe keep it up for 2 or 3 months max.

thats no reason to not justify it.

it's no attack it's a nuke. nukes are just more easy then a attack. thats why you justify it right? because it's more easy.

i guess if the usa told them about the 30 mins time then they wouldn't have stopped the air alarms. my guess is that they thought it was 15 mins. but after 25 there still didn't happen anything.
but we would never know the reason why. everyone died anyway.

now tell me how are you going to defend against a nuke strike that youve never seen or heard of befor?

Partydevil, I'm just going to poke my head in for a moment.

It seems to me that your reasons for being opposed to the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan are very simple. It was the U.S.A. that dropped them.

From your arguments, I highly doubt that you would be saying the same things if it had been any other nation.

Especially when your reasons are, "they were too proud to surrender" and "they should have had a 45 minute air raid warning." As if that changes anything at all.

it's the washington blog.

What Emp said backs up the idea that it was a military decision

Only about 40000 of 380000 were evacuated by Japan's government.

i'm getting pretty tired of saying the same all the time.
to bad it's to much for some people to handle/understand.
i dont think i'll keep doing this.

It must be tiring being wrong all the time.

i might not always share the general view. but that doesn't make me wrong.
it's a different point of view.

Hehe... North Korea's nuke can't even reach us. It's not powerful enough. But still, we should do something about it, perhaps we should kick them out the U.N.? Then we could go to war with them causing a WWIII

Their nukes aren't powerful enough to reach us. But we should still do something.
