Mr. Sanjay Mehta, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were absolutely necessary. It was Japan who had attacked the US first in Pearl Harbor. Japan was not willing to surrender without both of these attacks. The attack against Iran was a necessary one. Iran was responsible for many US casualties in Iraq during the US-Iraq war. It was necessary to punish Iran for these terrorist actions. Iran is a terrorist country that funds terrorism across the Middle East. Do you like terrorists? Granted, the war hasn't gone how the US anticipated, but this lesson was learned only in retrospect. > comparing unpredictability with authoritarianism. No. Please recursively scroll up to the parent comments in the thread, all the way up to the comment by BaardFigur. The thread is about authoritarianism. You don't get to revoke what it is. Now who's risible.

Mr OutOfHere: I expected the pathetic excuse for the nuclear genocide of the two Japanese cities. The real reason was to frighten the Soviets. Not going to waste my time on this aspect any more: educating the wilfully ignorant and propagandised is not my job. The US triggered the Iraq/Iran war. Not just that, they supplied Saddam with precursors for chemical weapons. Later used the same as an excuse to depose him. Real reason for attacking every oil rich country is always oil. Speaking of authoritarianism, THIS is on HN right now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49294199 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49294199 The real world knows exactly what the US is, thanks to President Trump's honesty in being a war criminal. Unlike the series of war criminals preceding him. Including the precious Obama.

  The US is not unpredictable. It uses up its old weapons every decade so it can stock up new ones and keep defense contractors in business for modernization purposes. It's very predictable. You just don't want to be on the receiving end. The Middle East is a source of endless wars. Maybe next time it can be against the Houthis in Yemen which too are terrorists.

    I said this up there: > The US is only predictable in its unnecessary belligerence. So in a nutshell, you agree the US is an extremist, terrorist state. What are you arguing with me about now?
