It's not conseivable that the US who attacked Japan with nuclear bombs and waged horrific war on Iraq just because of a false memorandum talking about the possessin of Saddam Husein to weapons of mass destruction, is refusing Russia's war against Ukrain in the sake of humanity, which contradicts their "noble deeds" with the history of wars and means they implement to achieve the goals
We need the objective truth here through back to history and looking at the present, and also not being deceived or influenced by Hollywood shenanigans as they illustrate the US as savior of the world, as always!

Why did the U.S. Shot Nuclear at the Japanese Empire?
Does the UK name the Nazis a victim? The Japanese Empire is a victim?
The Nazis and the Japanese Empire carried out massive genocide during World War II.
Japan is just the perpetrators. Japan has never accepted its fault and they are trying to distort real history.
This program must not participate in their plan.
Don't give us wrong information. plz
