Yup, Germany did but then Denmark decided to join em cause they didn't wanna fight, lose soldier lives, etc.
Quick intro to South Africa... White people start Apartheid after the Afrikaans are given power after the British leave. Afrikaans people treat all non-white people in the country like crap basically. This was the darkest time for our country as alot of riots and protests happened in this time and alot of blood was spilt on both sides. Then the president at the time releases one of the greatest people to ever live. Nelson Mandela is released from prison and helps put a stop to Apartheid and helps prevent a civil war in the country. Now everyone is equal and has equal rights apparently. We have a corrupt government and a president that steals millions to build his house. The only good times we had was when Apartheid ended and everyone was equal (and I mean 100%) Those 10 years after it ended was the greatest time for the country, but now everything is corrupt and racial tension is building once again. No country is perfect and we all have our ups and downs, the dark times and good times. So better to admit the faults in a country than sit here and claim that there is a specific country that is perfect @op
The atomic bombs are more or less a good thing. Sure, people died, people lost their homes etc all hugs pass kisses around guys. Seriously, if the US had invaded Japan normally take the casualty numbers from the bombs and add either one or two zeroes to the end of it. The Japanese would've fought tooth and nail to survive and cost both American and Japanese casualties in huge amounts. They ended it fast, instead of causing the deaths of many American and Japanese soldiers. Did the cities deserve to be bombed? No. Was there innocent civilians there? Yes. Was it the best option? Of course. There will never be a perfect option in war, one person or another will always see something as wrong. But any sensible person can agree it was a lot less of a devastating alternative.
Lmao sure if I Wanted to get rid of you and end a fight with you quickly, I'd come drop a nuke on your house. That is what you are basically saying there. Don't try to justify the mass killings of innocence please :?
You're comparing apples to nukes, almost quite literally. If you want to end a fight with someone quickly, you knock them out. The justification is:what innocents would you have rather saved, the thousands in those cities, or the hundreds of thousands who would've died outside of them in the crossfire of a war between america and a country with soldiers so loyal that they'd kill themselves. There is no "save everyone with hugs and kisses" option sometimes, regrettably. And it sucks, truly, but most other options are much bloodier.
