The Russian Lower House speaker wants to instigate an international investigation into the 1945 nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the US military – a possible crime against humanity with no statute of limitation.

“Next year we will have the 70th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trial and also the same anniversary of the first and only nuclear bombings of two civilian cities – Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is not incidental that I mention these events together. I think we should discuss this topic together with lawyers and specialists in international law – for crimes against humanity have no statute of limitation,” Sergey Naryshkin told the presidium of the Russian History Society.

The Russian parliamentary chief recalled that the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were hardly justifiable from the pure military position, as the defeat of Japan was practically decided after the Soviet Army’s victories in Manchuria.

“The nuclear bombing of two peaceful cities was a pure act of intimidation resulting in the deaths of several thousand Japanese civilians. Let us get back to this issue within the next year,” Naryshkin said.


The nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki took place in early August, 1945, and resulted in the deaths of between 150,000 and 250,000 people, most of them civilians. The US authorities said the demonstration of force sped up Japan’s capitulation and prevented a land operation on the island that could have inflicted heavy casualties to the US military. At the same time, the two attacks, especially the Hiroshima bombing, have been repeatedly denounced by the international rights community as fundamentally immoral and violating the spirit of conventions that banned the use of weapons of mass destruction against the enemy’s civilian population.

Japanese officials and international rights activists raise the issue of the bombings to this day, noting that the radioactive fallout damaged Hiroshima and Nagasaki’s children, causing various illnesses in some, and costly medical checks and constant fears for the health of the rest.

Right after the trial of Imperial Japan for the Pearl Harbor attack.

And then we can try Russia for what it did in Eastern Europe and Afghanistan.

Fair?

Many Russians died from Russian bullets at the hands of NKVD officers pushing them from behind the front.

Calling a country 'third world' is not racism. For all the military might of the Soviet Union, Russia and her lackeys back then were very much 3rd world countries, from the heart of Mother Russia all the way to the East/West German border.

I have always asked a simple question and never received a satisfactory answer: Could the microwave oven come from the Soviet Union or Red China ?

Answer: No. Never could.

Unlike an ICBM or Sputnik, the microwave oven is a mass consumption product. The principles of the device are well known when they are separated into discrete theoretical components.

Soviet/Chinese scientists do not know about EM radiation ? Of course they knew and many of them are intellectual rivals to the Western scientists. Some are even intellectual superiors.

Soviet/Chinese engineers cannot put together a containment system for EM radiation ? Of course they can and many of them are engineering rivals to the Western engineers. Some are even superior engineers.

But the hallmark of any 'first world' country is how well the ordinary citizens live in receiving the physical benefits of the intellectual might of scientists and engineers. The microwave oven is one of the many physical benefits the Western citizens have that citizens under the Soviet Union and Red China never had. It is a simple device based upon openly known scientific principles. All it does is excite molecules and that produces heat. The ordinary citizen who bought it uses it to heat water and warm food, all the while completely oblivious of those fine scientific principles and that is the way it should be.

And yet the oppression that the Soviet Union and Red China had over the people denied their citizens the many benefits of their country's scientific resources. That is what made the Soviet Union and Red China very much third world countries.

Today, your Russia is not that far removed from the Soviet Union's third world category despite any gains in economics. All the modern conveniences Russians enjoys came from the West. Instead of political oppression that stifled creativity, Russians now sees themselves so far behind, thanks to the Cold War, that they might as well be oppressed in a different perspective.

congratulations i wont read it

You think I care ? Just because you do not have the brains to understand, it does not mean others will follow you.

The Soviet Union was an evil empire and we who lived through those yrs will never let the world forget. You exported, violently if necessary, an evil ideology that brought out the worst of human nature and done it without moral restraints. Poverty and abject misery followed everywhere the Soviet Union went. And you think your Russia under a Cold War warrior like Putin is any better ?

Although pearl harbour was an attack on a military target.. whilst Hiroshima and Nagasaki.. well.

However, the Russians have their excesses in Afghanistan and chechnya.
