Why are the Americans so concern about other country using NUCLEAR bomb when USA is the only country used it?

Question

Why is that? Shouldn't the Americans be afraid of USA since USA is cruel enough to use it against another country in the past? Is there something wrong with this picture? Only one country we should all be afraid of is USA cuz the history doesn't lie. So is this a Hypocrisy?

I believe in the power of Reciprocracy! Which means that since we used it against others, the fear of others using against us is here! Nature doesn't fool around with what goes around comes around. Who are u guys so arrogant enough to challenge that law???

Regardless why we used it against Japan, the fact remains that we USED it! Nature does't care whether what excuses or purpose you used it for! Think about all the innocent Civilians who suffered from the Nuclear Radiation for the "Righteous Purpose" USA caused!

To Laissez: You said we don't talk that way? Well you're right! Have you heard of the phrases "Talk is Cheap"? Or "Action speaks louder than Words"? So USA don't talk but did the action right?

My answer to you guys who said I'm not concerned. Of course I am! Are u nuts. That's why I"m seeking the truth and only the truth will set us free! We need to face the reality that we caused this threat from countries that dont' like us. If we had been more humble and been a big Teddy Bear rather than a Bully as others see us than we wouldn't have this threat today, right? It's the law of nature. What you sow and u shall reap. So let try to fix this problem instead of blaming others.

Answer 1

What really should scare us is. Are we afraid to use it again? Have we turned into the kind of country that will take a hit and not strike back? Once the nukes are in the air the world is over not just the intended targets. A strike calls for a counter strike and the second round will be enough to kill the planet.

Answer 2

Maybe because we used it, we know the awesome responsibility it carries.

Tell me, are you comforted by a nation seeking the nuclear bomb that regularly makes statements like "We will wipe that nation off the map" or "Your people will all die in a nuclear fire?"

Notice how the USA, the only nation that has nuked, never talks that way?

If Iran and N. Korea weren't rogue nations, sponsoring terrorism, and weren't belligerant, nobody would really care whether they had nukes or not.

UPDATE: Very well, let me put it this way. We used it to put an end to a world wide conflict, because it was a brand new weapon that we really didn't understand, except we knew it was big.

Since then, we've been involved in several conflicts in the last 60+ years, and have always exercised restraint. Certainly the USA has earned some trust that we can be responsible with nukes.

Answer 3

You say you are only concerned with truth and that the truth will set us free.

To quote Dr Martin Luther King then continue to say that all nations should arm themselves with whatever nuclear capability they can is to grievously misunderstand Dr King's intent and to equally disarm the logic of your arguement.

Dr King believed that NO nation should have nuclear weapons.

One might reasonbly extrapolate his view that short of that goal, restricting nuclear weapons to the fewest hands possible would be the next best option, while continuing to strive for disarmament.

In those countries where nuclear weapons are possessed, very few people have access to their launch and those people are answerable to a complex series of safeguards.

There would appear to be fewer safeguards in countries like North Korea or Iran, and even less reticience about using newly acquired "might".

To speak of American Cruelty is to overstate the historical realities of both the ending of WW2 and its current place in the world.

As superpowers go, you really could not have a more benign one than them. And if the USA were not the superpower, the world would be a lot less happy a place under the aegis of any other power.

Answer 4

The US believes that any country that develops a nuclear weapon would use it if it felt they was in their interest to do so, Why else would they develop it? The question is then who is more likely to need nuclear weapons in the world today. Since the middle east is volatile and Israel has nuclear weapons, a nuclear armed Arab county in the region would make a nuclear exchange likely at some future time. The US feels that it can prevent Israel from using its nuclear weapons only if they are not under threat of attack from another nuclear armed state. The prevention of a nuclear war is not only the goal of US foreign policy but that of most of most of the nations of the world.

Answer 5

I'm not afraid of other countries firing a few nuclear missiles at us, because if they did, our revenge would be swift and destroy them.
By the way, why do you think that those two small atomic bombs on Japan in 1945 were worse than all the other bombings and mass slaughters by other countries in WW2? USA was actually at war at the time versus two insane fascist countries (Japan and Nazi Germany).
You are surprisingly brave to be unconcerned about Iran or whoever hitting you and all your friends with a nuclear bomb. Perhaps you are a stoical republican?
Yes, there is something wrong with your picture.

Answer 6

Not wanting to get into a major discussion, I'll try to be brief. Russia and China both have the Atomic bomb as well as several other countries. The USA had to use it during WWII to actually save lives because there were many casualties in standard combat and the war had to be shortened. The USA was not cruel since to use the bomb saved many thousands of American lives.

Answer 7

Ah yes. Once again we are given a close up view of the lefts contempt for the United States and the moral equivalence which makes the left and their hair brained notions so dangerous.
After all, since only the US has used the bomb, only we should cause fear and trembling among the peoples of the world over our natural, irresistable desire to use it again! Obviously no group like, oh, say Islamic terrorists, would even consider the wholesale murder of innocent people for the purpose of ...er, wait ............never mind.

Answer 8

unusual no longer be being an American yet i might answer why would desire to they? The 'bomb' on an identical time as dropped by using the individuals replaced into easily geared up by using a lot of human beings of differing nationalities in united states of america of america. the unique technologies replaced into no longer even American. besides they further what they theory replaced right into a weapon of warfare. the jap and Germans KILLED and not utilising a 2d theory and with out mercy. The bomb replaced right into an instantaneous act very like the Germans utilising well-known bombs, later rockets to objective London (the Blitz) an act they have not (to the terrific of my understanding apologised for). In memory (could be incorrect)whilst the allies bombed Germany basically approximately to offer up then they have been given undesirable press later for destroying the background of Germany. The slaughter of many Jews, chinese language (human beings tend to forget or maybe no longer understand that hundreds of thousands of chinese language have been slaughtered by using the jap) and human beings of all countries seen enemies replaced into and keeps to be an act against humanity. If it had no longer been for British forces mutually with Scandinavian freedom combatants the Germans might HAVE bombed Britain with their version, no question approximately it.

Answer 9

We developed and used it in the middle of a world war where hundreds of thousands of people were killed and many more would have been killed if Truman hadn't dropped the bomb. The difference is the countries that have nuclear capability's now are run by some crazy leaders. We have enough sense to use restraint against our enemies.

Answer 10

You need to research the subject. Times are different. At the time, there were powers out to conquer the world. We used it to prevent the deaths of 10 million japanese, and 1 million americans with the planned invasion of japan.

Now, there is not world takeover being stopped with threats, but there is dictators threatening to destroy a country the size of florida. Threatening genocide.

THREATENING GENOCIDE!
