    China was our ally. Japan deserved the nuclear detonations 100%. We melted the people that raped Nanjing and sneak attacked a USA State. German, Italy, and Japan were an evil axis who's only goal was to kill every person on the planet that was not Aryian, Italian, or Japanese. Imagine the world today if Hitler, Hirohito, and Mussolini won.

    Those are downright idiotic lies. We were the baddies in Europe in WWI and II but since we were on the winning side we can pretend otherwise.

    No, the US killed a few hundred thousand civilians, along with their cats and canaries. Who is this ' we' anyway ? You are completely disconnected from it, except by some imagined pseudo-patriotism and quasi-loyalty to anybody who might share in the brand of public sadism which talk of the degenerate Manhattan Project engenders in poor and pointless American patriots.

    Well, unless you're Jewish, homosexual, Gypsy, Polish, Slavic, Chinese, Filipino, Korean, etc.

    It's not good vs. evil. It's simply us vs. them.

    It doesn't make much sense to carry the flag of a defeated side. It's like the people who worship the Confederate flag.

    Hmmm, no, we melted civilians. Many of the military soldiers who raped Nanjing and bombed PH are still alive today.

    Go figure.

    be that as it may, the British Empire is not in and of its self, though the Thatchers and Blairs and Camerons would have it otherwise, the problem now, sure there are still lingering consequences to our Rule and we made the devastating mistake, against the wishes of most of us, of carrying on playing on the World Stage but we are not a big player and we do not set the rules of play .......You have done since WWII I think that we are seeing the end of that now though.

    We should have let Germany fight Russia in WWII, kept out of it or fought along side Germany. Now Russia and China the true winners of WWII may take their prize ........

    I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not.

    If Nazism is what you prefer, there's always Greece. And Russia has its own brand of neo-Nazism.

    Of course not. "Demonstrating" the bomb by evaporating uninhabited island would not have shortened the war by one day. Japanese would have looked at that and say to themselves... meh... them Yankees have no balls...

    And what makes you think Germany and Japan weren't part of this "lucrative business"?

    If we're the baddies, then what made them the good guys?

    A lot of "speshul people" on PF don't know about the Newlands Resolution in the late 1800's. And that's fine - if everyone was a rocket scientist our happy meals would cost $20 and McDonald's would go out of business. We should be glad folks like him exist - who else would remind us that we want a hot apple pie with that double cheeseburger?

    Nazism is not what I prefer I said that we should have let Germany and Russia fight it out and picked up the pieces or if we had to we should have fought with Germany. I said nothing about the way Germany and Italy had chosen to rule their own countries.

    Silly argument, War has made stranger bed fellows than Western Europeans fighting together against Russia.

    I'm sorry, I'll take the opinion of Eisenhower, MacArthur, Leahy and Nimitz over Zionists and christian rapturists any day.

    You mean the way that Germany chose to rule other countries.

    Self-rule isn't the only factor involved.

    Looking at the aftermath and the bad choices made and, in many ways worst of all, why they were made. There would have been no Cold War, Russia would have been weakened and all the respective peoples of their respective Empires would have quietly or not so quietly taken their countries into their own hands ( We never said we owned them it was always the said intent of Empire to give the power to the people ) but it would all have been more orderly as it was we were all broken and so it was all horribly messy. The real intent of the USA had always been to break all Empires.

    So it became King of the castles, not though a very pretty castle.

    No, my question is to why you think our days of being a big player are at an end. No one can match the US's combined economic, political and military capacity. Eventually China might but that is still 10-20 years down the road at best...if they even ever want to assert that role. Russia is a joke, NATO allies don't want to invest in military capacity as long as we do it for them, Britain is a paper tiger and India is 3o-50 years down the road from establishing themselves as a major player.

    So who is going to challenge us? Britian should just be glad the US has historical affections for them or you could end up like France.

    That part of Poland which was sometimes Germany? We do not know what would have happened if France and Britain had not declared War. What ever we may feel about The Third Reich, Hitler did not want War he had been reaching out for peace between us all. Yes there are other factors in this and one was that he was fighting The Soviet Union.

    As for the rest if we had just let them fight neither would have been very powerful afterwards, as it was how many Europeans lost their lives? It was devastating and what for? Nothing we gained nothing we all lost.
