While we — all of humanity — accept that this event “ended” the war… it was also undoubtedly an unimaginably-vast war crime, against millions of civilians — and one for which all the US must atone, to this very day.
Beyond that, all I will say, today… is I am fearful that the present GOP leadership (and Tangerine NON-leadership) has long-forgotten, or never bothered to learn — the lessons there.
We know Oppenheimer did. We know Einstein, and millions upon millions — billions, even… of others… did.
But this, perhaps more than at any time in the last half-century… is a fraught moment.
Still — onward as we, the people of good will — and accepting of science, the world over… take a few moments of silence… to reflect on what humanity lost, in that blinding flash… 80 years ago.
[In passing, I should also note that (once again this year, as in 2016) the feckless Powerline boy, Scott Johnson, posted more stupidly banal drivel, solely to take this as an opportunity to bash BHO 44. Charming; what a soul-less, embittered old man Scott Johnson is.] Out.
