The US still has never apologized for the unnecessary nukings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and has deep-sixed information on a teenage atomic spy who gave the Soviets plans for the plutonium bomb.
Good piece as always about US warmongering. One "correction", and one suggestion.
Your lead-in that dropping the bombs was "pointless" is not correct, as you later explain: Soviet Union-Russia bullying. Another reason for Japan's preparation to surrender even before dropping the bombs was that Stalin was fulfilling his promise to FDR to help defeat Japan once Europe was captured from the fascists. One million Russian troops were near where most of Japan's remaining military forces were and they would have been overwhelmed by the Russians.
Truman knowing this would have made the Russians even more important war heroes would not allow such as he already, along with Churchill, was planing and preparing to invade the Soviet Union, as you point out.
And this history is significant to today's proxy war in Ukraine. US presidents, Republicans and Democrats, doing the Wall Street's bidding, along side the Pentagon and CIA, want to eliminate Russia's sovereignty, and take over much of the vast resources in the world's largest land. That is why the Russian people are once again fighting to preserve their independence from US world domination, their very sovereignty--something European lackies do not appreciate having willing turning over their sovereignty to the Ugly Americans.
You are right on all counts Ron, but I've already got a long piece here and cannot get into all these issues in a short piece that is really focuseed on the three big events that occurred in those compressed nine days of August 1945.
