This sounds like a live version. Where did you get it?

[gingerbhoy]

@mellinpop Your ears are not lying. Its from the Government Commissions: BBC Sessions 1996-2003. A great album.

@funbunion I flat refuse to believe this was necessary to kill innocent men women and children. Most of the people who comment on this video defending this are from the US. I ask you to step back from the loyalty of your country and think this over. There is no evidence that anything was going to happen in to the continental US by the Japanese. It is an accepted fact that Japans operations were winding down. This was the moment the USA held the gun to the worlds head which still exists to day.

Love this version. Incredible song

@clearlogicify No "logical failure" too. Japan was nuked because Americans leaders knew hundreds of thousands of American soldiers would die against the onslaught of virtually the entire Japan civilian and military population. An extension of WWII was not in anyone's interest. Note Japan fantacism. This is fact.

Any more contradictions because that is all you can think of?

[MrHolocaustianity]

@clearlogicify No contradiction.

When you occupy a country, you naturally influence its people. You have a military force there to keep the Japanese company until the Japan military is once against revived to combat the Soviet threat--most likely forever. There are 3 US bases currently in Japan.

My thinking is that high-ranking American leaders knew this a long way ahead of time.

An explanation of cause is not a justification by reason.

[clearlogicify]

@AbagOfonions That is the nature of propaganda. As a side note, other bombing attacks during WW2 were a lot worse. eg firebombing Dresden and Hamburg.

[clearlogicify]

@MrHolocaustianity Contradiction from your last post. Did they occupy the cities they bombed, as you suggested last time. Last time you stated they used bombs to allow the US to occupy those zones without resistance. Now you say they used the bomb so they could help rebuild Japan, but they really wanted to use it as a base for operation against the Soviets.

"In Post-WWII they became our allies to combat the Soviet threat." - So simplified it's beyond retarded.

[MrHolocaustianity]

@clearlogicify True. At the same time we did nuke Japan. And what happened after that? We *occupied* it--because we wanted to "help" rebuild Japan from the rubble.

In Post-WWII they became our allies to combat the Soviet threat.

[clearlogicify]

@MrHolocaustianity Why would you nuke a country you intend to occupy? You'd want to maintain the normal workings of the city. Broken roads/rail, destroyed ports, no hospitals, no workforce would be massive problems. The last thing you'd want is displaced people and destroyed cities to deal with. Not to mention issues with contamination.

Logic failure.

[clearlogicify]

The bomb was dropped solely to allow the creation of this video/tune combo!
