hitler carried a grudge and picked up where his predecessor left off. japan actually showed up to the show late, after the italians had already started carrying the nazi flag (not the german one), due to some beef with the soviet union. america dropped the bomb because the japanese had escalated war tactics to an ugly degree and brought the war to america's door step as well as invading japan was going to cost too much. essentially the allied forces were getting ready to wrap things up in europe but due to the dropping of the bomb it brought the whole war to an end. a win lose situation
but a good lesson and brought attention to the world not of americas authority but of the dangers of nuclear weapons (if you fear america dropping nukes then your afraid of your own shadow cause there's this thing called treaties and everyone has one with everyone and their mother today). the soviet union didn't heed this and the cold war was escalated beyond ludicrous. luckily both america and the soviet union lost face when they played chicken and stopped before driving off the cliff. it's only a matter of time before one ignant dumbf**k does something stupid and the whole race is screwed proper like.
our nuclear technology, as far as the bomb goes, is in great part to europeans (mostly german) and other countries during the second great war were already in the process of making their own. soviet union stole some secrets directly from us and got the rest through other channels from other countries and a smidge of their own science. matter of fact the reason japan didn't have their own at the time is because they made a choice between nuclear weapons or ray guns. they picked ray guns and lost but better sonar and communications for all came from it. interesting read if you got a few minutes.

as much as i agree with leaving countries to their own devices (and really hate how the world sees america as world police) i would say it's not a terrible idea to help S. korea if they asked us for it. having at least one conversation with other countries as a political handshake would get the talks of what is going on started even if america was the only one doing something about it. imo play dictator in your own dang country, start trying to take over another and someone is going to take notice (even if it's not american's cause we got plenty of lefties on this site and i'm sure that has some truth in reflection to a country or two).
nuclear weapons are disgusting (but i'm also sick in the head and think they're fun. shoot me.) all i can really say is trump needs to stop farting around with kim. you ever seen two arrogant, self serving jerks as lil kids try to play in the same room. kinda what's going on here.
if these two could stop fighting at the monkey bars and play in the sand box together not only would this trade deal go more smoothly but friction (as a by product) other countries have to deal with might be reduced and allow them to come at the conflict between N. and S. in a better light. then again kim might toss a nuke and trump might toss 5. small penises - big world - many people.
"wouldn't you prefer a good game of chess?"
"The whole point was to find a way to practice nuclear war without destroying ourselves. To get the computers to learn from mistakes we couldn't afford to make. Except, I never could get Joshua to learn the most important lesson."
"What's that?"
"Humility."
