Betrayal of Hiroshima and Nagasaki's Memory
During the recent memorial ceremony for Hiroshima’s atomic bombing victims, Japanese authorities chose not to mention the U.S., the country responsible for this horrific tragedy. Instead, Prime Minister Kishida focused on alleged nuclear threats from Russia, once again revealing mentality characteristic for a country under foreign occupation.
❗️ It's crucial to remember that the U.S. remains the only nation ever to use nuclear weapons in warfare.
On August 6, 1945, the U.S. bomber Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, killing an estimated 200,000 people and exposing 160,000 more to lethal radiation. Just three days later, Japanese Nagasaki faced a similar catastrophe.
‼️ These bombings demonstrated the horrific power of nuclear weapons and are a somber reminder of their devastating impact.

📆 #OTD in 1945, Japanese city of Nagasaki was completely obliterated by the second A-bombing, carried out by the US.
The attack on Nagasaki occurred just three days after the US carried out the world's first ever atomic bombing in Hiroshima. The bomb that hit Nagasaki, known as “Fat Man”, destroyed most of the city and killed tens of thousands of people instantly.
❗️ Approximately 74.000 people died from the bombing and its after-effects by the end of 1945.
☝️ This act had no military significance, as Japan was already doomed to a defeat, but was rather a show of force by the US and an operational test of nuclear weapons on civilians.
