We're specifically talking about the use of nuclear weapons in this instance.
If we're going to start totting up non-nuclear killing of civilians, then the U.S. is looking at the killing of approx 56 million indigenous people for a similar desire to "own" land.
- wing-_-nuts 3y agoI was specifically talking about deaths during WWII. The US is partially responsible for the native american genocide, but I'd argue Britain and Spain are much more so (small pox and it's ilk did most of the killing at time of first contact) Hell if we're talking this sort of original sin, where does it end? Humans have been exterminating each other from the dawn of time.
- ndsipa_pomu 3y ago> I was specifically talking about deaths during WWII. Okay. The rest of this thread is very much about nuclear weapons and their effects.
- skeaker 3y agoNo? This comment thread chain is specifically about the use of nuclear bombs in WWII. GP was replying to someone who brought that up.
