The way Takashi still speaks with deep sadness reminded me how devastating the bombs really were, you always read about the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings in school but hearing these individual accounts just puts it into a new perspective.

[@tl7091dty]

That soldier that saved Takashi carried him through the burning city. After walking for a couple of miles, Takashi could hear someone shouting out to him from a distance. It was his father, who had miraculously survived. Takashi could see him sprinting to the soilder, Takashi saying, “That’s my father!” Takashi’s father took his son from the soilder and hugged him so hard he “shook from the effort.” In tears, his father bowed over and over to soldier, sobbing, “Thank you!! You’re a savior!!” Takashi, crying as he recounted said, “It was the most relieving moment of my life.” 🥺

According to the Venona documents, both President Curry (19), who promoted these anti-Japanese policies, and White, the Director of the Monetary Research Bureau of the Ministry of Finance (20), were Soviet spies. Thus, in December 1941, the US-Japan War broke out. On December 9, two days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Chinese Communist Party issued a statement that the Pacific Anti-Japanese United Front had been completed with the outbreak of the US-Japan War. The Soviet Comintern's strategy of using the United States to crush Japan became a reality 21 years later. As described above, the Venona documents, the Comintern documents, the confidential documents of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, etc. became public, and the Roosevelt administration, which used the Comintern, the Chinese Communist Party, and "Soviet spies" as important, before and during the war. And what he did after the war is gradually becoming clearer.

I’m American so we see it as the necessary cost to end the war. But I don’t think someone in Japan would have that same perspective. War is complicated, at least to talk about. There will always be multiple angles and arguments. All we can do is take what’s happened in the past and try to better our society from the knowledge Gained. But what do I know, I’m a 23 year old American who is just going off of what I feel is right. Just an opinion.

The Empire of the Rising Sun, ended by two blows from their own namesake.

Its important to remember, though it was terrible, it prevented many more deaths. It was the end of WW2 and made an all out invasion of Japan unnecessary.

The biggest terror done

When people watch this video and begin their notations of sympathy,,,,, they should think of the horrible atrocities and inhumane acts the Japaneses did to captured Allies including civilians of other nationalities,,,

I think having sympathy for the innocent people and understanding that it was a necessity because of the awful leadership can live synonymously... The more we divide people who's lives are affected from the leaders who infect, the more power will be in the people's hands

This is probably done by a fire bomb attack, the new type of bomb was incendiaries. "The whole of Hiroshima has been annihilated", no, it was a part of the city.
