Hey, Foxy,
What do you think about armed Ukrainian civilians being given weapons with which to fight the Russians?

It has been revealed Russia is holding $9 billion in Australian government bonds. Friedbrain refused to rule out non payment of interest to the Russians. Could it be Morrison will be looking for future Russian finance to bail him out.

SM, war crimes are war crimes, see you are again quoting from the Yankee play book.

"Prior to the atomic bombing, the US had firebombed just about every city killing 110 000 on the first day in Tokyo alone and millions by the time the first A-bomb was dropped. It was clear that Japan cared little about its civilians, even the devastation of the A-bomb didn't convince them, but the second finally did the trick."

It was also clear that the US cared little about civilians since it was the US that was dropping the bombs

The dropping of atomic bombs on the civilian populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were two of the worse war crimes in history. The fact they were carried out by the so called "good guys" with some lame excuse, was no more justification than if the Americans had no excuse.

These attacks by America on civilians, gives all future use of atomic weapons by nuclear armed nations against non-combatants some kind of perverted justification.

Well said, Paul.

Ignorant, sentimental, virtue-signalling claptrap.

I have been to Hiroshima. It was an eerie, unpleasant experience. If the Americans hadn't carried out the sickening task, the ensuing experience for Australia would have been a lot worse than eerie and sickening. Two bombs had to be dropped before the fanatics gave in.

Japan is our good ally. My wife and I have a Japanese daughter. You bozos don't know what you are talking about.
