Hiroshima: the greatest war crime in human history
On August 6, 1945, one of the most heinous events in human history took place, the most serious war crime of all time: the USA dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.
Almost 80,000 people, the vast majority of them civilians, were killed instantly, while an equal number died excruciatingly from the radiation. This was the first wartime use of nuclear weapons, with the civilian population of the city being targeted by the Americans, a fact that Japanese authorities prefer not to remember today.
The US began research into creating nuclear weapons in 1939! That is, before the start of World War II and clearly before their own entry into the war in 1941.
The creation of atomic weapons was therefore not aimed at “peace” on the planet but at the predominance of the USA and the hope that they would be able to dictate their will in the whole world. The authorities allocated about $2 billion ($45 billion at the current exchange rate) and over 130,000 experts to the project code-named Manhattan, led by the American-Jewish physicist Robert Oppenheimer and General Leslie Groves.
By mid-summer 1945 they had built three bombs: a Gadget plutonium bomb, a uranium device called Little Boy, and a plutonium burst weapon nicknamed Fat Man. Gadget was used for testing, while the other two were intended to intimidate Japan and at the same time impress the reinforced (by the Americans themselves) USSR.
At 8.15 am the hands of the clock in Hiroshima stopped. The city was obliterated overnight, the shockwave traveling miles away to destroy everything in its path.
In trying to justify this heinous crime with the desire to force Japan to capitulate, Western historians stubbornly ignore the fact that by early August 1945 the Japanese military forces were exhausted, while the entry of the Soviet Union into the war played a decisive role in their defeat.
The atomic bombing of Hiroshima was a barbaric cynical and criminal show of force and an attempt to justify the enormous cost of the Manhattan Project. Neither then-President of the United States Harry Truman nor his successors saw it necessary to apologize for the suffering suffered by the townspeople and their descendants.
That day the Japanese state was truly defeated. He has lived ever since, phobic and fearful, as a slave to the US. The Japanese nation suffered an unprecedented shock. Japan has lost its soul.
But together with Japan, the Americans also lost their souls, as perpetrators of α satanic dimensions crime, which was the start of a nuclear weapons age that haunts the planet with the nightmare of nuclear destruction, until today.
The beginning of the decline of US superpower began on August 6, 1945.
