PANDA PANDA PANDA PANDA

6:19-6:36: one of the most succinct explanations of the WWI causal chain I've ever heard.
Just the right touches of "Ulbe the Historian" too.

'monkey fun'

Watch this and then get high, in that order

i like it this guy needs to do more

no

"try it"

Not going to waste 9 minutes of my life on something I didn't find the least bit funny 5 seconds in, I'm off any way, toodles.

So what were you doing for the 7 minutes between "no" and "I'm not going to waste my life", Mr. Busy?

Intellectually stimulating myself.

What's your favourite website on which to intellectually stimulate yourself?

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.

I was making a 'joke', sorry I'll leave you to your intellectual stimulation

I don't think you understood me.

I don't think I understand you at all, indeed

You should have just said that then instead of acting like a spastic.

Guess I don't get why you posted it here :-/ for a second, it gave me hope for you!

Oh, I posted it because I thought it was worth sharing.. only that )

won, would watch again

Long story short, Japan was a dick, got nuked, now it's a hello kitty.

A moral of this story: Nukes hurt, but help finding your proper calling in life. Okay, Germany wasnt nuked but only because they folded and surrendered before Truman decided to nuke them as well - at least thats what Gen.Groves related in his memoirs and like all generals, he was eager to nuke everyone with this new fab bomb if he had the carrier capability yet he STILL told Truman that it would be a daunting task so maybe Germany won the lottery on this one. So an amendment for the above moral: Nukes hurt, and if you manage to get rekt before they are used anyway, you will find your proper calling in life.

Germany was bombed much more intensely than Japan. A nuke wouldn't add much to the repeated carpet of bombs the allies laid on them, except for radiation effects.

Interesting point so I looked it up quickly.

German civilian casualties due to bombing: approx. 500,000
Japanese civilian casualties from Nagasaki and Hiroshima: approx. 130,000 (with several thousand more from cancer later)

Quite stunning for 2 bombs. And bear in mind that the Japanese population is significantly smaller.

German casualties

Japanese casualties

And bear in mind that the Japanese population is significantly smaller.

What did you mean by that? The population of Japan has been larger than Germany's (excluding the conquered territories, of course) since the 30s.

Indeed I'm wrong, thanks for correcting!

Point was, as reiterated by Groves, that AA defenses and overall issues with Soviet Union would make that unfeasible anyway. Most historians concur with this point. Also, firestorms caused by Allied bombings were much more lethal than the use of both nuclear bombs in Japan. With nuclear armaments, as Eric Schlosser points out in his book DEAD HAND, it was a question of quality over quantity in terms of the amount of ordnance delivered in comparison to "classic" explosives.

Either you studied history or that was a decent copy paste

History was a part of my studies, but what I wrote was taught in high school as well, at least in Poland.
