Following the nuclear strikes, the US came up with a convenient excuse that the bombing hastened the end of the war and saved the lives of American soldiers, noted Panov, emphasizing that these claims don't hold water.

TriitNG:

First, there was no military need for the atomic bombing of Japan, according to the diplomat. Prior to taking the decision to bomb the Japanese cities, six of the seven top US military officials argued that there was no military necessity for it, and that, from an ethical point of view, it would be a barbaric inhumane act. Indeed, there were zero important military installations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Second, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not force Japan to surrender, highlighted Panov. In reality, Japan made the decision to lay down their arms only after the Soviet Union entered the war with Japan at 11 a.m. on August 9, 1945. At a meeting of Japan's top leadership, then-Prime Minister Kantarō Suzuki stated that the position of Japan had become absolutely hopeless due to the USSR's decision to step in. Therefore he insisted on acceptance of the terms of surrender.

"Undoubtedly, in 1945, an inhuman act of using nuclear weapons was committed [by the US]," emphasized Panov. "Furthermore, it was used against the civilian population (…) This, one might say, was a greater atrocity than the use of chemical weapons by Germany during the [First] World War. Still, the Germans used [chlorine] gas against enemy soldiers. Nevertheless, gas attacks are recognized as inhuman acts. As a result, chemical weapons have been banned and are being destroyed."

Panov insisted that it is "extremely important" that the United States apologize for the inhumane and absolutely barbaric act committed against Japanese civilians and express its regret. He pointed out that international law, which existed already in 1945, placed emphasis on a requirement to protect, as far as possible, the civilian population from damage caused by hostilities.

TriitNG:

Make no mistake: the US did not regret nuking the two Japanese cities, noted the Russian diplomat. That is why Washington's military adventurism and use of non-conventional weapons against civilians continued, according to him.

TriitNG:

"We know what the United States did to Vietnam, by burning villages with napalm, destroying forests and fields with dioxin, subjecting people to suffering," the diplomat said. "After that, there were terrible bombardments of Yugoslavia [in 1999]."

TriitNG:

All these actions have to be assessed within the framework of international law, otherwise these incidents will continue to pile up, according to the political scientist. He noted that it is highly unlikely that the UN Security Council would initiate and hold a tribunal over the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki because Washington would simply veto this initiative.

TriitNG:

The issue raised by Panov has taken on a new significance as the US has repeatedly resorted to nothing short of nuclear blackmail and threats amid Russia's special military operation to demilitarize and de-Nazify Ukraine. The US mainstream media and top officials are speculating about the possibility of a Russian first atomic strike, even though Russia's nuclear doctrine forbids the use of nuclear weapons of any kind - tactical or strategic, unless nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction are used against the country first, or in the event of a conventional attack so severe that it threatens the country's existence.

In his September 21 address, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned the US and Kiev against nuclear provocations, referring to "the Western-encouraged shelling of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant," as well as "the statements made by some high-ranking representatives of the leading NATO countries on the possibility and admissibility of using weapons of mass destruction – nuclear weapons – against Russia." On September 30, President Putin highlighted that the United States was the first to use nuclear weapons twice, destroying the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. "By the way, they set a precedent," the Russian president warned.

Putin is not the problem...

Democrats is the problem... Not even the U.S but Democrats.

Democrats are war mongers. War is how America got rich and war is how they stay rich. America provoked this war... The same way they are working overnight trying to provoke China to invade Taiwan...

[b]Yeah more war more money... [/b]If US was ever interested in peace in Ukraine... They should have left Ukraine alone... And enforced Minsk agreement.

How can the self acclaimed father of democracy(USA) back a coup in a sovereign country? [/b]U. S helped overthrow an elected president in Ukraine because he wasn't interested in joining NATO. His country doing great... And living peacefully. But the US wasn't happy.. Peace irritates them... Whenever there's is peace, America feels it's losing money and losing purpose.

So what did they do? The father of democracy plotted a coup and overthrew an elected president to install a puppet government that is willing to carry out their will, And of a sudden Ukraine wants to join NATO.

Many regions in Ukraine didn't like that and have been fighting to leave Ukraine since then.

[b]U.S is a devil and problem we have in this world... If they come where there is peace they will turn in to war front and still convince you that they are helping...

Now Ukraine own never finish, Dem don go Taiwan to start a another war... Smh

The whole world knows the truth about the US... Even their own citizens are aware.
