World entered the age of nuclear on August 1945. At the end of the World War II on August 6 and 9 the United States of America was the first nation to use nuclear weapon on an enemy.
Blackened bodies, mothers who couldn’t recognize their charred and those still alive screaming with pain – these are horrific details the survivors bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki recall ahead of 70th anniversary of the tragedy.
A “Little Boy” and a “Fat Man” created havoc in the lives of millions of human beings. More than 160,000 died immediately in both the cities in bombings.
The bombings were approved by then the President of the United States of America, Harry S Truman, who repeatedly stated that attacking Japan saved lives of both sides.
He further defended his act of using atomic bombs claiming that it “saved millions of lives” by bringing the war to a quick end.
The power centers always built their empire on the lives of the civilians. Hiroshima and Nagasaki was just a beginning of the invasion of Neo-imperial forces. Later on the world witnessed many attacks on humanity across the globe.
Today world is under an illusion that the militaries are created to protect the lives of the common civilian. No. It is not. Military is a kind of capital investment in modern capitalism. It’s time to come out of the deception created by the State!!
