The point is that Nagasaki and Hiroshima weren’t exceptional, but rather typical of US bombing strategies against civilian populations that the US has continued to use into the modern day.
IIRC the damage inflicted by the atomic bombings weren’t especially noteworthy compared to the rest of the bombing campaign, and it was more a way to test out their new toys. If the nukes hadn’t been used but conventional bombing had continued, it would likely have had a similar result. This video by Shaun lays out a pretty compelling case that the Japanese surrender was due to the Soviet declaration of war and invasion of Manchuria.
This is all ignoring of course that despite the insistence of unconditional surrender, the Americans accepted surrender with conditions and allowed the emperor to continue to hold his titles anyway. There’s definitely something to be said about taking maximalist positions just to make a point even when they don’t actually care about several of the goals that make up those positions.
This is apparently not the original version, but in the context in which it’s used on hexbear, this is the full image:
President Xi, the people of Occupied Cascadia yearn for freedom, please send Chengdu J-20 stealth fighters.
I guess “The US will very likely end the world in nuclear hellfire” doesn’t roll of the tongue as well.
You forgot Women’s Beach Volleyball.
Partly (the article does refer to it being the language of NATO), but it looks to be more about joining the EU.
They want the ability to shoot down other countries’ satellites when they go to war with them. Things like disabling communication satellites and GPS (or Russia’s equivalent, GLONASS).
Kessler Syndrome? Never heard of it.
For the record it’s 5 white people, 1 Palestinian, 1 Indian-australian. And he still doesn’t care, but the optics of being seen not to care would be bad. Seems like he’s now aware that he’s going to eat shit in the election this fall and is trying to appear as though he opposes the genocide while doing nothing to stop it.
If they’re not executing nazis in the streets they’re not stopping them from assuming power.
Only cool people are capable of doing it as a bit
Why the fuck did they not sign this?
Boris Johnson (aka NATO) told them to die to the last Ukrainian instead. Literally “the west [wasn’t] ready for the war to end”.
Some of us never stopped
It was a thing last… summer? Where reddit announced they were going to start charging for every call a third party program made using the API. This was done with the intent of shutting down 3rd party reddit apps and to get users on the official one so reddit could make more money. However, it also destroyed a bunch of 3rd party tools that mods more or less needed, and which reddit had been promising to implement themselves for years with no progress. There was a brief protest where mods of many subs shut them down (mostly for less than a week, though some are still down IIRC). A bunch of users and moderators left reddit and went to other sites.
I use UBO and have definitely noticed videos stuttering in the last week or two.
Should’ve just thrown him in a
Lol, this kind of means-tested garbage won’t accomplish anything for young people on the fence about having kids. At most it’ll let some older people go back to school for free.
The end of Israel as an apartheid genocidal settler-colonial state. You can look to South Africa for an example.
