Shouldn't USA have been banned of having nuclear weapons because of its history?

Look at Germany. They are not a permanent member of UN Security Council because of the happenings in the 40s and ww2. More than 60 years have passed however they are still paying for what Hitler did.

Now about USA, they are the only country who has ever used nuclear weapons, but what did they pay for their deadly mistake? Nothing, instead, they are acting like the world police, they have 1000s of nuclear weapon types yet they cannot see other countries to access the nuclear knowledge, be it for peaceful purposes or not.
Such a childish excuse "we used it to end the war"! you kill others because they want others not to kill each other?
Uncle, as you said, USA has the right of using nuclear weapons if they get attacked 1st. How come they don't give the same right to other countries such as Iran to use atomic bomb, if they get attacked by USA or Israel?
Jerry, did you actually read my question? I don't think so!
 
Learn your fucking history cause you are a fucking idiot....

In 1945, The US military was going to have to fight house to house against the ENTIRE ISLAND. They where going to fight men, women, children to the death because thats the bull shit type of propaganda Japan was preaching.

So the US saved lives by dropping those 2 nukes. Saved millions of lives in Japan and thousands of lives on the US side.

Why would we attack Iran unless they are supporting TERRORIST GROUPS by funding, weapons, and safe keeping? Why would we attack Iran unless they are invading another country that asks for our help? Why would Israel? Israel hasn't attacked anyone other then Iraq who was building nukes in the 80's. Every war Israel has been involved in has been started by Arabs.
 
history is written by the victors, also nuclear weapons is why we didnt have ww3 right after ww2, and why were not in ww3 right now. if your good with everyone being drafted from the ages of 18-40 to die in mass fighting on 2-3 continents then sure get rid of nukes. remember they acuatlly do what there suppose to and thats deter war.
 
Hardly a mistake. That's what happens during war...you try to win with minimal losses, imposing maximal damage to the aggressor nation. Thank God the USA was the first to demonstrate to the world the magnitude of this new technology, against a nation that dragged us into a war we did not choose.

It was that use of nuclear weapons that has spared the world any repeat usage. Had they never been used, who knows where and when that first use would materialize, and whether any of us would still be here to pose such immature and inane questions.
 
Japan was the aggressor in the war. The only alternative to end the war was an invasion of the Japanese mainland, which was projected to have a greater loss of life than the nukes. It was a lesser of 2 evils choice by Truman, not aggression.
 
Who said it was a mistake? My father and my uncles were over their in the middle of that war and I for one am glad they made it home alive. If we would have gone all the way to Japan with foot soldiers we would have lost a round 1000000 more soldiers in that fight to take down Japan. Maybe you and I would not be here today.
 
umm...japan woke a sleeping giant by attacking pearl harbor....they should of used their brain before they did something as stupid as that...
 
You have a very warped sense of history.

The only ones who got permanent member on the security council where the allies of WW2.

Germany and Japan were the aggressors and took over peaceful countries in an attempt to dominate their reasons.
 
You need to study a little about your Iran, since it supported Hitler in the 30's and contributed to the Reich. Lock this in your brain, the United States will prevent Iran from possessing a nuclear weapon. As far as Japan, we could have nuked Tokyo.

First of all, as the country who developed nukes, who can possibly ban the US from having them?

The nuclear weapons program was instituted for the very purpose of ending WW2. And that's what the bombs were used for. Did they have to be used? Probably not. But there use was no worse than the firebombings of Tokyo. In fact the nukes weren't nearly as deadly as the fire bombings.

The world does not worry about the USA having nukes any more than the world worries about France having nukes. Because the world knows that we are responsible and will not be using them unless we are horribly attacked first.

Now think about some of these other countries that are developing nukes. Do you have faith that countries like Iran or North Korea will handle them responsibly? Especially since Iran talks about wiping Israel off the map.

But all this is simply wasted, because as I said originally, no one has the power to ban the USA from having nukes.

George Carlin: "Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity"

"This weapon is to be used against Japan between now and August 10th. I have told the Sec. of War, Mr. Stimson, to use it so that military objectives and soldiers and sailors are the target and not women and children. Even if the Japs are savages, ruthless, merciless and fanatic, we as the leader of the world for the common welfare cannot drop that terrible bomb on the old capital or the new." - President Truman's diary entry on July 25, 1945
 
Go back and read your WWII history. We invented the thing, and used it only to save lives and end WWII.
Are you American? If you are you should be ashamed of not knowing American history.


Edit...
We used it to save lives, they(Japan) would have never given up otherwise. If we had not used it, many more lives on both sides would have been lost.

It requires a simple comprehension of world events & history to be able to understand why we used it. Obviously you don't have that.

In the simplest terms, it was to halt the atrocities committed by the Japanese & the Germans, and to end WWII. Somehow they just wouldn't take that bouquet of flowers, and stop the forced cannibalization of American POW's, and Hitler didn't free the people after we gave him a fluffy kitten.

By the way, the world disagrees with you.
