WWII in general needs to be talked about because it shaped the world into what we have now. Also, that war was far worse than most people even realize. When you really dig deep, it’s hard to imagine that many people committing atrocious, evil acts. Read about Japan, one could argue they were even more sadistic than the Nazis. And the Allies weren’t 100% innocent either. It’s hard to imagine how recent it was too. Both of my Grandfathers fought in it, I never knew them because of what the war did to them. They were broken people. My parents didn’t even really know them either. Lots of stories like that.

@geestee9377 It made sense to enough people to attempt it. They were trying to dominate Europe, and they felt the Jews were an obstacle, just like Poles, the disabled, and others. If you put yourself in their heads and pretend you believe their ideology it makes perfect sense. I don’t believe most Germans really knew though. I don’t even think most German soldiers knew the extent.

@kanairsforte23 It's pretty sadistic. I don't think most people realize what went down. There was a reason the A-bomb was used against them. I'm of the opinion it was necessary, and saved lives in the end, and I'll stand by that opinion.

@tiffaniterris2886 That may be partially true, but the fact we had a bomb that could wipe out entire cities played a huge role. The Japanese were willing to go much farther than any other nation. The ground war would have never ended. Saying the bomb had nothing to do with it is crazy. Any leader would be shitting bricks if an enemy had a weapon that destructive that nobody else had.

@InfiniteA1E I had the opportunity to talk to a woman who was a teenager in Germany and she opened my eyes to what the Russians did, specifically the Mongolian soldiers that were in their army, which I never knew before. Apparently they were worse than the Russian soldiers. The civilian population was brutalized.

@Idris-ku9xm There’s probably some truth to both viewpoints, but Russia was already building the bomb at that point. I think more people would have died had we continued the war, and also, we didn’t want Russia controlling Japan either, so it served two purposes. Not saying it was a good thing, it was horrific, and I wish humans had never built it. Now the world is at a permanent standstill and precipice of a war that cannot be won. All it takes is one lunatic and then we’re all screwed.

@Stefanius058 The Cold War never ended. We just have a different enemy now, China. We should all be terrified that there are leaders and people in power that want to go to war with them. There are no winners in that scenario. There are some real psychopaths in positions of power right now.

That’s because he had no idea what they were talking about.
