Gem&Molly ⓥ @gemandmoll.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I read also that the US claimed Hiroshima was a military area. An Australian reporter got there without permission and proved it was a civilian area. 180 0

therealenzooo.bsky.social @therealenzooo.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I remember visiting the Holocaust Museem in Washington. Visiting the Hiroshima memorial centre was as horrific. 😱 #War I remember thinking that every world leader with a Neuclear bomb should be forced to visit. 000 0

R. Wm. "Ruedii" 🦊🐧 🥖🔞 @rwruedii.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Massacring is a better word. It was, honestly, quite a dark moment for America, despite how it is taught in history books. Japan was even closer to surrendering than we thought, having actually drafted the surrender and in the process of delivering it to the radio station to broadcast. 000 0
