Also, is America benefiting from the war?

    Then you should see what Hiroshima and nagasaki are today. They’re more living than many places on earth.

    I live in Japan asshole, I have been to both. The amount of people who died in the aftermath of the bombing more than double those killed in the initial explosions. Leukemia was one of the biggest lasting effects, which predominantly affected children. Cancer rates went up. There are still people alive (albeit very few anymore) suffering aftereffects of the bombing; including people who lived far from the blast at the time of the bombing.

    Those were 15-20kt blasts and only two. There are strategic weapons in both US and Russian reserves hundreds of times more powerful than that.

      I wasn’t saying a bomb does’t kill people. I’m saying nukes can’t end humanity. That’s a hard fact. Unlike global warming.

      Nuclear bombs are as damaging as war can be. That’s all. You’re from Japan? Then how many japanese died from the war before the bombs were launched? How many people the Japanese killed before these bombs? Compare the numbers.

      Statistics are cold and heartless. Radiations don’t kill more than napalm, shrapnel or lead.
