Pope Francis Again Recalls U.S. Bombing
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Original Article

Posted By: Beardo, 8/11/2024 5:15:11 PM

Pope Francis prayed Sunday for the victims of the 1945 atomic bombing of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a topic he has returned to on numerous occasions. (snip) The pontiff has repeatedly condemned the U.S. bombing of Japan that brought an end to the Second World War. Prior to his 2019 trip to Japan, Francis denounced the “evil” bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, calling the attacks a “tragic episode in human history.” “I will soon visit Nagasaki and Hiroshima, where I will offer prayers for the victims of the catastrophic bombing of these two cities, and echo your own prophetic calls for nuclear disarmament,” the pope told Japanese bishops.

Millions of Americans and Japanese are alive today because we did, descendants of the lives that were spared. If it's blasphemous to refer to the Pope as a clueless POS, guilty.

Gosh Mr. Francis...O.K. we take the credit for bombing Hiroshima, but the bombing of Nagasaki is on the hands of the Emperor's Admirals and Generals. They advised him to not surrender, we gave them 3 days to do so but they didn't. So the blood of those 'victims' are on their hands. So...maybe make a new 'postcard' showing the body of a little Japanese child being stomped on by Japanese men in uniform.

Here's a fun little fact...500,000 Purple Hearts were manufactured for the invasion of Japan. 370,000 Purple Hearts have been awarded for Korea, Vietnam, the GulfWar, the War on Terror. There are 120,000 Purple Hearts remaining.

By deploying two A-bombs, President Truman (way back when Democrats used to be Americans) ended the invasion of Japan (Operation Downfall), thereby preventing the deaths of a million Americans and several million Japanese. The Pope person shamelessly reveals his utter ignorance of historical reality.

The great Japanese fighter ace and Zero pilot Saburo Sakai survived the war because when the Kamakazies ramped up, he was injured and couldn't fly. He much later met Col Tibbets, the captain of the Enola Gay, and said Tibbets had done the right thing - millions of Japanese and American casualties were spared and otherwise the war would have gone on. Civilians would have especially suffered.

27,000 people died every DAY of that war, overwhelmingly civilians, about 1/2 in each theater. That means about 13,000 Chinese, Indonesian, Malaysian, etc were dying every DAY that the war continued. I find their lives to be far more important than the lives of the aggressors killing and maiming them. The pope - lower case on purpose, I have no respect for his title right now - would rather the innocent be starved and butchered than the guilty be nuked. That's all you have to know about his character, or lack thereof.

Those nukes saved approximately a million American soldiers who would have been killed in a frontal assault on Japan. How many Japanese citizens were saved by the Bomb? Maybe ten million. Fat Man and Little Boy saved multitudes of us. My 17-year-old father had been drafted, and was going to go to Japan. If he had gone, his family wouldn't have been born. That's me and my siblings.

From a practicing Catholic: Holy Father, will you also pray for all the people who were slaughtered by the Japanese in their brutal war of aggression — a war that they started, in China and Southeast Asia, and then to the U.S., without provocation? A brutal war of total conquest, only halted by the sacrifice of U.S. sailors, soldiers, and Marines???

#25 - You are correct to point out the horrible toll the Japanese inflicted on the neighboring populations beginning in 1931 and lasting for 14 years. Today's Americans usually overlook the carnage on the Asian mainland because our grandfathers and great grandfathers were hopping from island to island fighting ferocious but relatively small battles. However, the American of the 1930s and 40s were well aware of the Japanese aggression and brutality from the movie newsreels they watched each week at the theater.

The Pope is condemning an act of war that ultimately ended the war. If the bombs had not been used, millions more people, both American and Japanese, would have died in the conflict. The planned invasion of Japan would have been the bloodiest battle ever seen.

A coincidence is, “the occurrence of events that happen at the same time... but seem to have some connection.” That seems to be the case whenever Barack Obama is in close relationship with left-leaning world leaders or directly involved in an American election. Although Obama works hard to look like he’s not directly involved in the things he’s engaged in, anyone who has followed the machinations of the stealthy socialist knows that there are no coincidences regarding the former president.

In the three weeks since Joe Biden handed her the nomination, Kamala Harris spent a total of 70 seconds in front of reporters and issued one specific promise, which she stole from Donald Trump. This is the first presidential campaign in history that appears to be guided by Nancy Pelosi’s line about Obamacare: “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.” At her brief stop before a handful of reporters while boarding Air Force Two, one of them oh-so-politely asked Harris when she’d sit down for a press interview. Her answer: “I’ve

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has filed federal labor charges against former President Donald Trump and billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk. This comes hot on the heels of their groundbreaking Twitter Space interview, a conversation that garnered global attention and shattered records with nearly 1 billion combined views of the conversation and subsequent discussion by other accounts. The interview, which took place on Monday night, saw Trump and Musk exchange ideas on a range of topics, in what many have dubbed a historic dialogue between two of the most influential figures of our time. However, not everyone was thrilled with the outcome of this conversation. The UAW,

In a stunning display of hypocrisy and double standards, CBS News attacked former President Donald Trump when he announced his “no tax on tips” policy proposal in June and then suddenly became uncritical of the idea when Vice President Kamala Harris copied Trump on Saturday. “Vice President Kamala Harris is rolling out a new policy position, saying she’ll fight to end taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers,” CBS announced in a Monday X post. However, when Trump first announced the policy proposal in June, CBS adopted a strikingly different tone. “Former President Donald Trump’s vow to stop taxing tips would cost the federal government up to $250 billion

With Kamala Harris becoming a rock star by inviting rock stars to open her act, it’s clear she’s focused on generating excitement through pure fluff. But whereas Harris captures headlines with showmanship, Donald Trump has an opportunity to resonate deeply with a far more substantial and often overlooked voting bloc: those who have paid into the Social Security system. If Trump zeroes in on this group, he can unlock a political goldmine that could propel him back into the White House. In what even the New York Times admits could be a game-changer, Trump has proposed ending income taxes on Social Security benefits.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk pitched a “government efficiency commission” to cut government waste while speaking with former President Donald Trump on Monday, and offered to “help out” with such an endeavor. Musk called for the commission during his more than two-hour conversation with Trump on Monday night. Trump was very receptive to the idea. The relevant conversation begins around the 1:44:00 mark: (X Video) “I think it would be great to just have a government efficiency commission that takes a look at these things and just ensures that the taxpayer money, the taxpayers’ hard-earned money, is spent in a good way,” Musk told Trump.

The Harris campaign runs misleading Google ads that look like news articles published by the establishment media, an Axios analysis found Tuesday. The strategy harnesses the ambiguous nature of the media’s oftentimes pro-Harris coverage with actual Harris campaign advertising. The Harris campaign edits the ads that “make it appear as if the Guardian, Reuters, CBS News and other major publishers are on her side,” Axios reported. “It’s a common practice in the commercial advertising world that doesn’t violate Google’s policies, but the ads mimic real news results from Search closely enough that they have news outlets caught off guard.” “According to Google’s ad transparency center,

Hillary Clinton — who once falsely claimed she took sniper fire in Bosnia — attempted to come to the rescue of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democrat vice presidential candidate. Walz is facing scrutiny for exaggerating his military service and choosing to retire from the military after he knew his unit — of which he was the senior enlisted leader — would deploy to Iraq. “Tim Walz served honorably for two decades. Then he joined Congress and worked to pass a new GI bill that helped fund the college educations of millions of veterans—among them, JD Vance,” Clinton posted on X on Monday.
