Well that was a sad display. Was it just me or were we bickering within our team, feels like I don't see that often.

No. The reason you're being downvoted is because of your ridiculous statements like open borders and free for all and the strange statement that the US is the only place where immigration is controversial. Ask someone from Greece or Italy about boat refugees, ask anyone from any country about immigration, it's a continuous topic in any country where immigration is a thing. If you want to have an honest discussion that is.

If you actually wanted to have an honest discussion you'd be truthful, but you're not. Spouting exaggerated claims that are obviously wrong and stuff like democrats can do no wrong. Of course no one takes you seriously, you're acting like a troll.

Strange how you only reply to the comments echoing your beliefs and not the others calling your shit out. Nice new strawman by the way. Open border and free for all. Fucking moron, no one's saying that except other trolls

And I think an organisation covering for pedophiles and murdering kids in their schools have no moral high ground and it is definitely unfit to lecture anyone on human dignity.

No one to blame but ourselves. Had plenty of chances to kill this match. Still sucks when we outplay them in every single aspect and still lose 2 points

For Truman, news of the successful Trinity test set up a momentous choice: whether or not to deploy the world’s first weapon of mass destruction. But it also came as a relief, as it meant the United States wouldn’t have to rely on the increasingly adversarial Soviet Union to enter World War II against Japan.

From https://www.history.com/news/hiroshima-nagasaki-bombing-wwii-cold-war

By the morning of August 9, 1945, Soviet troops had invaded Manchuria and Sakhalin Island, but there was still no word from the Japanese government regarding surrender.

Moreover, regular incendiary bombing raids were destroying huge portions of one city after another, food and fuel were in short supply, and millions of civilians were homeless. General Curtis LeMay, the commander of American air forces in the Pacific, estimated that by the end of September he would have destroyed every target in Japan worth hitting. The argument that Japan would have collapsed by early fall is speculative but powerful.

I don't know what Truman thought, but I do think saving US soldiers and avoiding The Soviet Union must have weighed in on the decision to nuke cities.

I know history.com isn't that great of a source, but I have to go back to work.

Not trying to downplay what Japan did, but I don't think that's why they dropped the bombs. Russia was closing in and the US didn't seem keen on having to divide up Japan like they did in Europe. I'd say it's more likely civilian targets were bombed to put social pressure on the emperor and government to accept defeat.

These bombs don't discriminate, so even put into context like you say, it's still not a good argument

If I understand it correctly, and please correct me if I'm wrong, Russian interference in Syria has been exceptionally devastating for Isis in the region.

Do you think it matters to the people you're trolling or calling names whether you do it online, over text or to their face? I'm not saying you're a perpetual asshole, but it seems like you think that's an ok thing to do online, which makes you an asshole occasionally. Be better man, you don't know how the person on the opposite side reacts
