@DevinMacGregor Hm, Okay, I understand that it's useless to say anything to you who abusolutely believe in what the Chinese claim. So I'll finally ask the question you haven't answered yet. Despite Japan's acceptance of the US's "gradual withdrawal from China except Manchuria," why the US forced further demands, an immediate withdrawal from China without any gurantee of lifts the embargo, by the Hull Note?

@xnetpc Neither Hiroshima nor Nagasaki were warned to prevent the plane carrying the nuclear bomb from being shot down.

Furthermore, after the war, GHQ created a detention facility for the victims of the atomic bomb and contained them. There was follow-up and recording, but NO treatment. When the victim died, the victim's family was forced to dissect. The organs collected by the dissection were sent to the United States.

What are you saying? It was the United States and the United Kingdom that brought the Soviet Union to the Allies. As a result, the Soviet Union and communist territories expanded and became profitable as victorious nations. These gave them the power to oppose the West. This caused a conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States. In other words, it was the United States that producted the cause of the Cold War. And do you mean that indiscriminate genocide against a third country unrelated to the Soviet Union or the United States is permissible if it aims to prevent the next war?

@agent_sus3273 The reason that I mentioned the side that started the war is that Americans often say, "Japan started the war, and it was the reward that the atomic bomb was dropped." BTW In 2002, Robert Stinnett published "DAY OF DECEIT". The book is based on a 17-year survey of official documents, direct interviews with US Navy cryptanalysts, and declassified confidential information. According to this book, war provocation policies were developed and implemented since about a year before the attack on Pearl Harbor. It reveals that it was the United States that forced Japan to hunt down and commit suicide or fight for the right to life. Roosevelt’s administration prepared eight ways to hunt down Japan and did all of them. The oil embargo and Hull Note were the last of eight plans.

@agent_sus3273 And the Venona document now shows that the Roosevelt administration was being manipulated by Soviet spies. That is, the United States was moving as the Soviet Union wanted until it replaced the Truman administration. Wasn't that a US mistake? Why did Japanese nonarmed people have to be sacrificed for that? As a Japanese, I can never admit to justify it.

Japan did NOT reject the Potsdam declaration.

@mephostopheles3752 The following is an excerpt from an article with the following title: "August 6, 1945 Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Drop President's Statement" "It was to spare the Japanese people from utter destruction that the ultimatum of July 26 was issued at Potsdam. Their leaders promptly rejected that ultimatum." Truman can read in this speech stating that the United States dropped the atomic bomb because the Japanese government rejected the Potsdam Declaration. However, Prime Minister Suzuki did not officially notify the Allies of the rejection of the Potsdam Declaration. According to the reporter's record interviewed shortly after the declaration, Prime Minister Suzuki said, "I don't think much importance to it," and etc. and ended the conference and tried to leave there. Because the situation was very sensitive, so he didn’t want to say any words that influence the situation. Reporters chased the leaving prime minister and sought what it meant to be "not important." At this time, Prime Minister Suzuki answered "no comment" and left there. In response, the Japanese newspapers that could not write "no comment" because the use of English was prohibited reported as follows. Yomiuri Shimbun and Mainichi Shimbun: "笑止"Shoushi Asahi Shimbun: "黙殺"Mokusatsu “Mokusatsu” means silently ignorance. So, the Alliance newspaper reported "ignore". And then Western newspapers reported it as "reject". But, the government of Japan did not any response to the declaration in official yet. The minutes of the Cabinet meeting on August 9th of the Government of Japan have a record of discussions on the approval of the Potsdam Declaration. In the morning, the Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki started the conference with the statement, "I’m going to accept the Potsdam Declaration." And the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki during this cabinet meeting.

@mephostopheles3752 Furthermore, the United States knew that Japan had admitted defeat and was about to surrender. the CIA website has a PDF file with the following name. “Memoranda for the President: Japanese Feelers” And, the following is an excerpt from that. “12 May 1945 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT: The following information, transmitted by the OSS representative in Bern,9 originates with a German source, an authority on the Far East who is considered anti-Nazi but pro-Japanese:10 The source, on 11 May, talked with Shunichi Kase, the Japanese Minister to Switzerland. He reports that Kase expressed a wish to help arrange for a cessation of hostilities between the Japanese and the Allies. Kase reportedly considers direct talks with the Americans and the British preferable to negotiations through the USSR,11 because the latter eventually would increase Soviet prestige so much that the whole Far East would become Communist. Kase allegedly believes that one of the few provisions the Japanese would insist upon would be the retention of the Emperor as the only safeguard against Japan's conversion to Communism. Kase feels that Under Secretary of State Grew, whom he considers the best US authority on Japan, shares this opinion. Added by hand: Should we pursue this? Donovan” This PDF file shows that the Government of Japan was asking the United States to talk the end of the war. And it was recorded that they admitted defeat and argued that maintaining the emperor system was the only condition for surrender, which was necessary to prevent Japan from becoming a communist nation. The draft of the Potsdam Declaration was supervised by Joseph Grew, a former ambassador to Japan. The draft contained a sentence that allowed the continuation of the emperor system. Because Grew knew well why Japan wanted the continuation of the Emperor System, and knew that Japan would surrender as soon as the Potsdam Declaration allowed the continuation of the Emperor System. This Grew’s effort is proven by the Truman memoir. It says: "Grew arrived at the end of May and said,'Why don't you make a declaration urging Japan to surrender?' The declaration provided Japan with a guarantee that the United States would allow the Emperor to remain head of state. I told him that I had already considered this issue and that (Glue's suggestion) seemed like a sound opinion." However, when Truman annouced the Potsdam Declaration, the sentence that allowed the continuation of the emperor system had removed from the declaration. It was because the atomic bomb was completed the day before the declaration.

This is not well known in foreign countries, but the number of victims in Hiroshima and Nagasaki continues to increase year by year, and that has exceeded 520,000 so far. This is because deaths from diseases due to exposure are also counted.

Haha Who taught you such a lie?

The United States did not ask such a question. The United States did not even spread pre-airstrike warning leaflets as required by international law. When Truman announced the dropping of the atomic bomb, he said the Japanese government rejected the Potsdam Declaration promptly. However, the Japanese government had not replied to the Potsdam Declaration yet. It was a British newspaper that reported that the Japanese government had rejected the Potsdam Declaration. The newspaper is believed to have translated what the Japanese newspaper reported as "黙殺:Mokusatu." The meaning of this word is to silently ignore something. However, what Prime Minister Suzuki actually said to reporters was "no comment." Because it was still under discussion within the government.

Biden Sucks According to the minutes of the Cabinet meeting on August 9, 1945, Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki began by saying: "I'm going to accept the Potsdam Declaration." During this meeting, an atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.

However, when Truman annouced the Potsdam Declaration, the sentence that allowed the continuation of the emperor system had removed from the declaration. It was because the atomic bomb was completed the day before the declaration. As we can see, no landing operations or atomic bombs were needed for the early end of the war. So why is it still taught around the world that "the atomic bomb was dropped to end the war early or to avoid landing operations to save many lives"? Because it were examinations The US’s purposes of dropping the atomic bomb in Japan: 1. Experiments on how the atomic bomb destroys and kills living cities and people 2. Experiments on contamination by radioactivity and its effects on the human body 3. Demonstration to the Soviet Union After the end of the war, the United States established the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (ABCC) in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and began investigating the effects of radioactivity. ABCC put people who were harmed by atomic bombs in their facility saying they would treat those pacients. But no treatment was given. Never. They took blood from survivors, photographed wounds and keloids, recorded their condition, took organs when they died. They sent those organs and etc. to the United States as samples with various investigations and records. On the other hand, the treatment of Japanese doctors was banned. Their medical records were taken away and the request for medicine to the Red Cross was stopped. In addition, it was not allowed to report all of this. It’s clear that what we are taught was written to hide what the United States actually had done.

Immediately after the end of the war, GHQ occupied Japan. For the next six and a half years, the GHQ controlled speech and banned even the slightest criticism of the GHQ and the Allies. Of course, criticism of the atomic bomb was also prohibited. Rumors spread that "if you oppose GHQ, you will be taken away and will never be able to come back home," and the Japanese, including the media, were silent. So that's not enough. There were once some wax figures on display at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. The wax figures were life-sized depictions of the victims immediately after the atomic bomb was dropped. Many victims who were burned by heat rays walked around in search of water, with their burned skin hanging from their entire body. And they drank contaminated water and died. It was a photorealistic depiction of the victims, very eloquently telling us the misery of the atomic bomb victims. But when President Obama visited Hiroshima, they were removed.

So why doesn't the United States allow Japan to have nukes?
