      The US dropped two nukes on Japan, invaded Vietnam for no reason, instigated coups in a variety of sovereign countries and committed countless other atrocities to sustain the military industrial complex. That’s a lot more than some 3000 deaths

        The same thing can be said about Japan. A lot more people died by the hands of the Japanese Empire during WW2 than those two nukes did.

          Still, dropped it on two civilian targets.

          Imagine Russia taking out LA and NYC; you guys would never let anyone forget that no matter what

              Agreed, not a good thing. Abu Ghraib ring any bells?

              See? We can do this all day long but in the end the fact is that these “tactical nukes” weren’t used to take out parts of the command structure, but to vaporise not one but two major civilian population centres.

                That’s not even fucking close.

                Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both chosen for their military and industrial importance.

                  I could probably say the same for San Fransisco if it was chosen.

                    You absolutely could. San Fran was a major logistics hub during the Second World War.

          Who the actual fuck was saying that?

          They were saying that compared to the damage the US has inflicted on other countries, including innocent civilian populations, the damage done by the 9/11 attacks is much smaller
