Shinzo Abe under a lot of pressure, 60% Japanese Public do not want change of military status which Abe and his Party are pushing for.

If you are equating Nagasaki with genocide then you are misusing the word.

Jockey should maybe have used "mass murder'

Nagasaki equates to about 23 Twin Tower Attacks, 70,000 dead

The original target for the bomb was the city of Kokura, but it was found to be obscured by clouds and drifting smoke from fires started by a major firebombing raid by 224 B-29s on nearby Yawata the previous day. This covered 70% of the area over Kokura, obscuring the aiming point. Three bomb runs were made over the next 50 minutes, burning fuel and exposing the aircraft repeatedly to the heavy defenses of Yawata, but the bombardier was unable to drop visually. By the time of the third bomb run, Japanese anti-aircraft fire was getting close, and Second Lieutenant Jacob Beser, who was monitoring Japanese communications, reported activity on the Japanese fighter direction radio bands.[43]

Sweeney then proceeded to the alternative target, Nagasaki. It too was obscured by cloud, and Ashworth ordered Sweeney to make a radar approach. At the last minute, the bombardier,[41] Captain Kermit K. Beahan,[40] found a hole in the clouds. The Fat Man was dropped, and following a 43-second duration free fall, exploded at 11:02 local time, at an altitude of about 1,650 feet (500 m).[41] Because of poor visibility due to cloud cover, the bomb missed its intended detonation point by almost two miles, and damage was somewhat less extensive than that in Hiroshima.

An estimated 35,000-40,000 people were killed outright by the bombing at Nagasaki. The total of 60,000-80,000 victims results from long-term health effects, the strongest of which was leukemia, with an attributable risk of 46% for bomb victims.[44] Others died later from related blast and burn injuries, and hundreds more from radiation illnesses from exposure to the bomb's initial radiation.[45] Most of the direct deaths and injuries sustained from the bombing were munitions or industrial workers.[46] Mitsubishi's industrial production in the city were also severed by the attack; the dockyard would have produced at 80 percent of its full capacity within three to four months, the steel works would have required a year to get into substantial production, the electric works would have resumed some production within two months and been back at capacity within six months, and the restoration of the arms plant to 60 to 70 percent of former capacity would have required 15 months. The Mitsubishi-Urakami Ordnance Works, the factory that manufactured the type 91 torpedoes released in the attack on Pearl Harbor, was destroyed in the blast

What about passive genocide? It’s what is happening in places like Britain were in a short space of time the original people will be no more. Gone from history gone from the world.

They are not being killed, they are still there but foreign illegal migrants are arriving all the time under the guise of students. tourists and being smuggled in.

Private bounty hunter companies should be set up to find them and deport them.
