@Renagade1325 do you actually know what the NDAA is about? No? You may want to read it and then show me a "modern country" that also took a step back to stone age.

[Renagade1325]

@zorax15 Name a single modern country that doesn't change laws.........

[zorax15]

@Renagade1325 No your country just took the results of these experiments and waterboards and deprivates people in the present and change laws to make it a "legal" act. You understand very little what is going on around you.

The USSR declared war on Japan and entered Manchuria and Kuril Islands 2 weeks later. Look where the Kurill Islands are placed. You no shit about history.

[Renagade1325]

@zorax15 Excuse me? The US does not experiment on other people like the Germans, Russians, Japanese did in WWII. When the US falls apart, the world will go to shit and you will wish the US was back.

Russia couldn't have crushed Japan... Russia had basically no navy. A large majority of their ships were from WWI and another large majority were given to them by the US with the lend-lease act. You understand very little about history.

@maxiking5011 If you had read the last 2 posts down on this page you would have realised that this is not true. In fact the Russians were about to declare war on Japan. And with the USSR and the US there 5-10 years is just nonsense. Stalin didn't care about human losses as could be seen on the eastern front in Europe. So even if Japan had not surrenderd shortly the USSR would have crushed Japan. But the cold war had already started and therefore Rus intervention was not an option.

@Renagade1325 And it is absurd when US citizens explain why it is justified for the US to do things that they blame other countries on. So please stop to make a fool of yourself by stating you are allowed to violate human rights and commit war crimes just because you send food to Africa and Asia when some of the poverty was caused by US actions.

[maxiking5011]

@zorax15 But you actually know that without the nuclear Bomb the war could have lasted 5-10 years longer with much more casualties? The Japanese built a base on almost every island between Japan and Hawaii to slow the Americans down. Some Japanese soldiers were found about 20 years later after the war ended.

I think that "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" were and still are incredibly cruel, but you you can't take responsibility for a danger you don't even know properly...

@Renagade1325 I don't think the USA is an empire. I'm not dumb. I think, however, you are too biased to understand the foreign countries concerns towards the US actions in the world. Because it is not your country alone that will suffer from the blowbacks that are caused by all the idiotic decisions in Washington but all the western countries together with the USA.

[zorax15]

@Renagade1325 The US government passed a law that US citizens are not to be jugded in the Hague and furthermore threatened the world with military force if people would try. At the same time your country declares war on other countries on behalf of human rights and justice. Fucking hypocrites.

@Renagade1325 oh my god. first: what is the connection between your essay and the dropping of the nuclear bomb. The reason for my last post was to suggest you to step off your high horse and judge other countries on the same standards as your own. And you are nowhere better in this matter than other countries are. In fact your congress just passed the NDAA which manifests the cut on human rights under Bush as legal activities. The Bush gov. totally undermined the UN forever etc.
