The US has no moral authority to decide who has nukes.
Discussion
Why not? Who decides who has moral authority?
Building nukes is not moral. Therefore the US has no moral authority. Pick another reason for why the US is justified in bombing yet another country.
I don't see anything ethically or morally wrong with building nukes per se. The fact that the U.S. has nukes simply disproves that their original stated pretext for these attacks had any validity or solid principle whatsoever.
I like your gun analogy however I think it doesn't fully transfer. Nation states in my opinion are immoral and nukes are their progeny. Morality is pretty subjective, but building things that serve no real purpose except to turn the planet into an uninhabitable moonscape seems to be a reasonable line to draw when considering what is moral.
Is that the purpose they serve? Purpose is subjective, isn't it? Natural law is objective. And by that, objectively, yes, nation states are immoral, and everything they own, they own illegitimately and will weild toward the destruction of what is good, including nukes.
Nukes kill people not zombies
Just for fun, y'know? By the way, I don't think they could use nukes because they just make the air a murderer, except for the rotten ones. But we have opinions, don't we?
What’s immoral is lying about their existence.
“Building nukes is not moral” - According to who?
They already used nukes and turned a bunch of Japanese into not-people
Yes. It also led to ending the war. It’s complex. Try to understand that there are complexities in those things. There are complexities in war
It did not end any war. The purpose of US entering the war at the end when Germany was being defeated by the Russian winter and Japan had no (oil) resources was to establish an empire, complete with a simplistic "good defeats evil" fairy tale.
what were the effects of nuking Japan on the war in your opinion? It had none?
The war was already over before that
As far as I know Japan surrendered after the nuking.
If you understand the passage of time, that also implies they surrendered after the war was over, which makes sense given how dedicated they were to never surrendering
Simplify it for me. your claim is that the nuking had no effects on the war whatsoever?
"War was already over" doesn't have much room left for simplification dawg, I don't even see what word can be removed anymore without losing the meaning
How do you infer when exactly the war was over. Share your process of thinking. Most people understood that Japan surrendered only after they declared it. Maybe you are smarter though.
Nothing like mass wiping civilians off the earth to end a war. Worked like a charm 🎁
It did though 🤷♂️
Maybe try suggesting your ideas of better ways for ending a war next time
Japan had no resources to continue the war. The US was the major supplier of oil globally at the time, all they had to do was cut off Japan, which they never did though. The war ended with Hitler's army spread thin and freezing to death in the Russian winter, just like Napoleon's a century earlier.
Japan was never a threat to the US. If you read well documented history outside of the Western indoctrination school system, you will see that Pearl Harbor was a 9/11 to galvanize the American population into the late entry into the war, getting thousands of Americans killed and maimed in the process. It's the OG not-their-war that they butted into for the usual spoils of money and power, not muh democracy.
Explain it to me simply. How should America have responded to Pearl Harbor?
By evacuating civilians fast enough to save them all, killing the American "war profiteers" who caused the pearl harbor attack, and allowing Japan to receive oil again
Interesting strategy. I prefer the one that pursues stopping dictatorial murderous regimes though🤷♂️
That should be a separate project, not a response to an attack you provoked, dumbass
Provoked is barely even the right word, more like engineered
Said who?
Sanity
Well. I don’t see it that way. Maybe you should go live with people who share this kind of sanity
That's the plan, Digit willing 🙏
Cool. I’ll keep pursue stopping dictatorial murderous regimes. Like we did today in Iran.
Oh, we'll still be trying to kill you, just because we get our own land doesn't mean we let you kill us
Just don’t develop nukes and chant death to America and we won’t try to kill you
You are already trying to kill me. Stop lying about it and earn a place among the survivors of what you've done if you don't want to die
If you’re developing nukes while chanting death to the west then I am already trying to kill you
Didn't ask
Try again
Wasn't trying to ask
I know. We are beyond your intellectual capabilities right now.
Nope
Take it easy. Read it slow. Your tiny ego is too invested to allow you to think clearly right now.
Already answered
Yes. You have. As intelligently as you can. Which is not that much unfortunately
Do better
Nice one. Keep it coming
How are you doing today anyway? Did you get the news?
Ok. I’ll leave you be. You did have some bad news today
No bad news so far today
Good. Glad you are also happy to see Iran nuclear capabilities being damaged
No news on Iran war since last night
You suck at knowing stuff
Oh. Share the news from last night then
Yes, and it's a good wager that if nukes fly, they will be launched by trigger-happy USA before anyone else. USA has the biggest precedent of bombing people and using nukes on people. And even now, there are commanders within the ranks that believe they can "win" a nuclear war as long as USA initiates it. I can provide sources.
No one does really. It's another case of gun control.
