True.

No, actually. Depending on the ambient conditions - mainly how clear and/or bright it is outside when the attack happens - flash blindness can affect people up to about 85 km away.

@@bealet9357 Japan was already at their limit and about to surrender before the nukes were dropped anyway

@@mootssss Politics, everything to the end, meant that they would fight to the end, they were close to surrender, but most likely it would be followed by a month or more of war and there were over 200 thousand casualties, and the communists had to be shown that yes..

『はだしのゲン』見たけど本当に言葉が出ない。まるでゾンビだ

​@@mootssss Incorrect, the leaders of the Japanese Military literally staged a coup to keep the war going Hiroshima. They were not even convinced it was nuclear and were going to fight till every last man. It was their written policy and doctrine. It wasn't until Nagasaki that the Emperor had to step in and agree to a total surrender. Every single documentation, account, and historian alligns with the fact that Japan was not going to surrender even after they had already been nuked once.

Face Fish yup because in most Scenarios nuclear war would happen so it’s best that you just die immediately and not have to deal with radiation and fans of people trying to kill you every second

no no i like this idea

How about we do!? Fucken pussy!! 👍

I have a doubt.
Chernobyl is now a wasteland which will not be inhabitable for over 4400 years. Why then are Hiroshima and Nagasaki not wastelands?

That's an interesting question.
The general theory is that because the bomb exploded high in the air, more nuclear contaminants were dispersed into the atmosphere. Another cause is water being washed away by rain or the ground being filled in.
On the other hand, the soil at Chernobyl and Fukushima contains a lot of nuclear contaminants. That's because they exploded on the ground.

@@user-nb2mw1py1j Apparently it was done to "maximise damage". It seems it only took a temporary toll
I pray that no one has to witness nuclear bombings again, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

@@PianistifiedForYT it also has to do with the amount of nuclear material present in a bomb vs in a nuclear power plant

@@PianistifiedForYT Little Boy contained 64 kg of uranium, Fat Man only 6.4 kg of plutonium, and due to being air bursts the radioactive fallout was extremely fine dust carried to high altitude and dispersed. Chernobyl vomited several *tonnes* of radioactive material into the environment, and a large amount of it was in the form of larger particles and fragments that were deposited onto the immediate surroundings.

the word ''or'' makes it like they've not decided it yet

Correct. These statements you are talking about really only mean anything in a world where there is only collective agency. I don’t endorse a lot of my own nation’s foreign policy, so why ought I be culpable for their decisions?

The entrance to the Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima clearly states the historical fact that the Japanese military invaded China and other countries. In other words, Japan is not unconcerned about its own crimes.
I am saddened by the fact that the world's worst weapon was dropped on the heads of the innocent people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, regardless of what Japan did in the Pacific War.

Correction: the bombings of Pearl Harbor was not a simple act of war, since the bombings occurred mainly on weekends, the armed personnel were considered civilians as well. Hope this clears up any confusion about the Japanese civilians didn’t deserve this.

Except unless action was taken against the actual people, the government wasn’t going to stop, and there wasn’t any single government facility nuke site that would’ve convinced the Japanese to end the war, it’s of course heartless, but it saved thousands of American soldiers from going into a deadly ground war on enemy turf

The problem is, most of japanese military and gonverment personel died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And civilians were just another cost.

@@connieleblanc6212 my understanding is now all the people that dont need to know what action they are carrying out are blocked out by design. that includes the operators, the people at the lower chain of commands, they just press buttons on a schedule or occasionally do surprise drills which they would have no way of knowing that the specific button sequence they put in just launched a nuke, a light at some dude's desk or did nothing at all.

Can you guys go on my yt and click on the video that says “get this video to 100k” it would really be appreciated

They are more powerful. Hiroshima's bomb power was 15 kilotons, an average US warhead nowadays is about 200 kilotons.

nope better try megatons and they are mutable warheads not single.@@arnold3768

This is worse. The little boy and fat man were sloppy and were literally just
“We have big bomb we want test it”

Gray Lindblad I mean not really. More like we don’t want to invade mainland Japan.

Rubixia I mean it is really. Then what is the point of using two different type of bombs? It is nothing but testing and showing how “strong” you are. Just use the same bomb you tested if it is not testing.

Japan: First time?

Murasaki Budou Japan always fought till the end no matter what they do. That’s why you don’t want to invade main land Japan it was a test and yes it was to show how strong they are but the war would just go on if we didn’t do that.

What else am i gonna do? Save the city?

It is not stupid... That's ten best thing you can do for information etc... To show it to the rest of the world

@@raulmejia6953 no your not

I think it's actually impossible to get rid of all nukes. people don't trust each other at all to not have them.

That's always been the issue among nations. Until nations put ink to paper for treaties and alliances, iron clad agreements of non-aggression, and work to maintain amicable relations, the threat of war is always there. It may be low in modern times, but it's a non-zero number. And given how tensions all across the world are rising, externally and internally, the idea of demilitarizing and denuclearizing is as unappealing as ever. We're on the cusp of a potential WWIII, everyone can see it. All it takes is that first spark.
As the saying goes, it's better to have a weapon and not use it, than to need a weapon and not have it. And unfortunately, this is our best method of preventing WWIII.

@@vallahdsacretor4839 "iron clad agreements of non-aggression" - Unfortunately, this is never going to be possible. Even if you 'had' a treaty that forbade any kind of aggression on a global scale, it doesn't actually 'prevent' those things from taking place.
Russia/Ukraine is a classic example. Russia has breached numerous geneva conventions, including attacking civilian medical facilties. But how do you enforce that, beyond through military force?

@@Grigeral You furthered your original point but likely not in the way you thought. The Ukrainians agreed to relinquish the Soviet-era warheads left on their soil after the USSR fell with the understanding that they would not face Russian aggression or have any chance of becoming a NATO signatory (to avoid encircling / threatening Russian territory).
The West in the years since then actively screwed them over by continuing to make overtures and flirt with the idea of bringing them into the EU and/or NATO, and even had a hand in the 2014 coup that installed heavily anti-Russo politicians into power. While that doesn't excuse the invasion, it does show that giving up a potential nuclear deterrent paired with the manner of world policing statecraft that has become notorious over decades is a recipe for a nation caught in the middle to be at greater risk of attack.

@@The_Lucent_Archangel it was more a hypothetical argument I was making on how you enforce something when you have nothing to back it up.
What you're raising is a whole other argument. My stance on that, would be that Ukraine is not a part of Russia. As such, Russia have zero say over who Ukraine have dealings with, be it NATO or otherwise, whether they like it or not.
It might justify the war in the eyes of Russian officials, but that's pretty much it. They have no control over them, so have don't have rights like they seem to believe.
