Personally I think that it's one of two things that's happening when people choose to ignore America's atrocity with the Atomic Bomb.
1. America using propaganda within their Media/their allies Media, that it gets indoctrinated in our societies that what the US did during WWII was justified, yet if it had've been the other way around we would've never have heard the end of it from the Americans.
And 2. I do believe that some people in the west, genuinely hold the US on a higher pedestal to the rest of the western nations.
Which then for some reason gives America a free pass in those people's eyes to treat other nations like ****, because they're "inferior" to the mighty America.
And look, despite my posts on this thread, I do like the USA as a country (fgs I've got an American singer as my Avatar,) so I'm not being anti-American or pro-Japanese.
I just believe that Japan's barbaric days during WWII were thankfully being put to a stop, and because the war wasn't officially over at the time, I believe that America wanted to test their new tech at the time (to see how effective it would or wouldn't be,) and they decided to test it on innocent Japanese people, and the (imo) fake reason that the US gave was the "it's to end the war, and save lives" that's my belief anyway. |
