The atomic bombings were a tragic but nearly unavoidable result of Japan’s refusal to surrender, the momentum of wartime technology, and the brutal logic of ending a devastating war quickly. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/08/07/japan/we-must-commemorate-hiroshima/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #hiroshima #nagasaki #atomicbombings #wwii #us #harrytruman

#Quotes #Opposition #HarryTruman
I think Harry means the US right now.
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear. -Harry S. Truman, 33rd US president (8 May 1884-1972) -

1. #fascism is simply the CONCENTRATION AND ABUSE OF POWER IN THE HAND OF A FEW #UNELECTED #ANTIDEMOCRATS (it usually ends in #catastrophe)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces
2. this #bs #historian https://youtu.be/kbWLE07NGcw?t=402 says #god was killed by the #nietzsche and the #bolshevik (the #communists #commies #soviets) and thus the so well educated #civilized #Germany did the #holocaust (ok does not make sense but well!?)
no the reason is much simpler, #Germany had SEVERE #economic problems and 1929 #stockmarket crash #USA demanding all loans back from #Germany made it worse + a (#money) #corrupted #Democracy (yes it happened before) destroyed a lot of #trust of the people
in #economic (!) desperation (and possibly other problems) they voted for #extremists as a kind of last resort (stupid) idea to fix things and in the beginning #Hitler did fix some things like #unemployment and #hunger in the #cities, but of course the #madmen had bigger goals, like rule the planet, no matter if he killed everyone in the process
also it seems like powerful elites in the #West #USA feared #communism and the nationalization of assets as #realestate and #factories, so these #elites welcomed a #radical #Germany that would fight #communism = the enemy of the rich to death (and they believed their #Hitler and did and died, #German soldiers that survived LITERATELY stated that they were not fighting the #Russian population but #communism !!! )
check this out: "So there are a lot of #American #elites who were involved in helping #finance and helping rearm and helping rebuild the #German #economy during this period. It’s a shameful episode. Oliver and I go into it in some depth in the documentary Untold History and the book of Untold History because we think it’s a very important story that gets swept under the carpet when we’re talking about these people being the greatest generation. A lot of those folks who we call the ‘greatest generation’ were #Nazi enablers, and many of them saw the #Nazis as a #bulwark against #Bolshevism, as against #communism, and were therefore happy and willing to support and allow and tolerate and turn a blind eye to the rearmament of Germany during this time, because they saw the Nazis as the way to stop the #Communists and the #SovietUnion”
Among those who explicitly stated that was Senator #HarryTruman, who on the floor of the Senate said if the #Germans are winning we support the #Russians, and if the #Russians are winning we support the #Germans. And that way let them kill as many of each other as possible. That was not #Roosevelt’s attitude."

“Presidents #HarryTruman in 1952 & #LyndonJohnson in 1968, who suffered faltering health & popularity, also exemplified such #humility & #valor by prioritizing the national interest over their #ambitions.
“Just because#Biden stepped away voluntarily does not mean it was easy. The more #Democrats pushed the president to drop out of the race in the aftermath of last month’s debate…& the more that #GOP voices taunted him, the more he stubbornly dug in:

CW: Long thread/17
In that strike, the UAW made history: they didn't just demand higher wages for workers, but they also demanded that GM finance these wages with lower profits, not higher prices. This demand was so popular that #HarryTruman - hardly a socialist! - stepped in and demanded that GM turn over its books so he could determine whether they could afford to pay a living wage without hiking prices.

@guncelawits @tofugolem Somehow the #GOP'S pious devotion to elimination of "waste, fraud, and abuse" never seems to extend to the #Pentagon. I have been waiting for it to do so since 1980. Where is #HarryTruman when you need him?
