Conservative estimates put the North Korean civilian death toll at 1.5m. Every major city in the North was flattened. The North has maintained a permanent war footing, not because they are hard core communists, rather because they learned a hard lesson in that war and are determined to not repeat it.
The real crime in the dropping of nukes in Japan was that the Japanese were already pursuing surrender via back channels, but were rebuffed because the US needed a demonstratiin to put the Soviets on notice.

Yes. All basic facts but who pays attention to those facts? Certainly, there are many here in Japan who do not.
Julian I appreciate you providing some clarity between morality and moralism.
I agree with your take, though I wonder if the USA ever had any morality since its founding as a nation? Sadly, I think not.
Cool video. By the way, I also love all the cat videos.☮️
Morality is so abstracted in discussion.
I prefer to be the person your dog thinks you are!
My last dog was a wolf hybrid. He thought I was an inferior being. He was, of course, right.
