Les 80 ans de la victoire sur le Japon : L'utilisation de la bombe atomique sur Hiroshima et Nagasaki était-elle nécessaire ?

Un mois après “Les quatre-vingts ans de la victoire en Europe“ (sur la dernière année de la guerre dans le théâtre européen, depuis le Débarquement en Normandie jusqu'à la prise de Berlin), Radio Courtoisie a consacré une heure et demie au sujet de “Les quatre-vingts ans de la victoire sur le Japon“.

La partie majeure du sujet du Libre journal du nouveau monde du 20 août 2025 s'est portée sur la question si l'utilisation des bombes atomiques sur Hiroshima et Nagasaki était nécessaire. 

C'est un sujet sur lequel l'invité principal d'Evelyne Joslain est un expert, et depuis une quinzaine d'années, Erik Svane a rassemblé une pléthore de témoignages, notamment le 6 août dernier avec l'article Didn't the A-Bombs Prevent the Red Army from Sweeping through Western Europe and the Entire Continent from Falling Under Stalin's Iron Fist? (On peut accoupler cet article avec les posts, "Ne serait-il pas temps que les Français mettent fin à leur anti-américanisme obsessionnel couplé à leurs fantasmes sur la Russie éternelle ?", autrement dit sur Ce que personne ne vous dit sur l'Armée Rouge pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale.)

Another Problem with Illegal Aliens Is That Even the "Law-Abiding" Ones Have Never Been Taught to Respect Road Rules or, Indeed, How to Drive in the First Place

A great problem with numerous illegal aliens turns out not to be murderers, thieves, scammers, and rapists, but simply "law-abiding" people from countries where there is little respect for road rules (or rules in general, when the population knows that laws are a scam) — certainly not in the Western sense — and therefore, few attempts to teach citizens to drive responsibly. 

This, in my opinion, was the main problem with Ohio's "undocumented immigrants" from Haiti — not cat-eating per se but driving erratically, whether under the influence or not.

As Gigachad Brick pointed out (Dhanyavaad to Instapundit's Sarah), when he recalled that he 

Talked to my dad about the Florida jeetcrash and he had some interesting things to say about it. He said that it was bound to happen, and to understand it you need to understand the culture of driving in India. 

Whenever he visits India, he refuses to drive for a reason. 

India has some of the most dangerous roads in the world, and it all has to do with the collective cultural view of driving. 

 Indian drivers are extremely selfish and their one goal is to get where they're going as fast as possible. It doesn't matter to them how they do it. 

 … one of the reasons gridlock is so terrible in India [is] because no driver gives another any room to move.  

 … And that's how the Florida jeetcrash happened. An illegal Indian immigrant brought his selfish, inconsiderate Indian driving mindset to the US, a mindset that claims thousands of lives every day in India. 

I really can't believe they gave this creature a CDL.

A Danish friend of mine worked for the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, first in Cambodia, later in Sri Lanka. Part of the contract was she was not allowed behind the wheel in Asia — ever — and had to get a local chauffeur (driver and car provided by the United Nations). While I visited her, I think it was in Colombo, the contract proved far-sighted when a bus pulled up next to her car, and tore up the left side of her (of her chauffeur's) car.  

Another story I remember features Europe — but I guess I was part of the problem. While in college, I had to take a plane out of Rome, and to avoid the taxi taking unnecessary detours to steepen the fare, I pretended that I was late for my flight. That cab ride! Oh, that cab ride! He sped through Rome like a maniac Schumacher, driving on the opposite side of the road, bypassing lines on the right-hand sidewalk, etc etc etc… Suffice it to say that we got to Rome's airport well before the plane was due to take off (and without an excessive fare).

From his korokistani dungeon, Gigachad Brick goes on to note that

Over the last 20-30 years libtards tried to prove that everyone from every corner of the world is exactly the same through mass immigration, but all it managed to prove is that our differences are 99% of the time a vast, irreconcilable ocean. 

Funny that.

What is the Democrat message?

asks John Kass (thanks to Glenn Reynolds and also to Sarah Hoyt). 

Do they even know?

Is the Democrat message pure Jacobin hatred for anything pro-American and anything that could be considered pro-President Donald Trump?

 … The aforementioned Instapundit's blogfather goes on to link Bravo Blue's John A. Lucas quoting Judd Garrett's What's Important:

Today Judd Garrett posted an article on Substack that, at least for me, is a must-read. I will link and summarize it briefly and will then add a reflection from my own experience. Judd’s article is here: What's Important - by Judd Garrett. Here are some excerpts to whey your appetite:

There is a lot of talk, speculation and fear mongering surrounding what Donald Trump has been doing since he was inaugurated in January. He is starting a trade war; the tariffs are on, they are off, they are back on again; the stock market has been very volatile; the jobs numbers were not great; we don’t have a peace deal in Ukraine; there isn’t a ceasefire in Gaza; all of our hostages are not home yet; maybe we are sliding into a recession. Democrats are claiming that Trump voters are having buyer’s remorse.

. . . . The approach to illegal immigration is a touchstone issue for me when I am evaluating a President and his administration’s performance. Under Biden, illegal immigration was at an all-time high and now less than two months into Trump’s administration, it is at an all-time low. Why is this such a defining issue? It tells me how much our President cares about the country or how much he is actively trying to destroy our country. Joe Biden was actively destroying the United States of America by not only flinging our southern border wide open and inviting the rest of the world to come in, he was actively flying plane loads of illegals to the interior of the country with pre-paid debit cards, cell phones, essentials bags and housing lined up at taxpayer expense.

That was all designed to destroy the United States as we know it. The PHDs and engineers from other countries were not coming en masse; the uneducated, the unskilled, the criminal aliens, the drug smugglers, the gang members were the ones who came. Everyday under Biden our country was getting worse and worse, regardless of what the economic indicators were saying, and it was all done intentionally which made me believe that every other decision that the Biden administration was making was intended to harm our country or at least was not designed to make our country better. Everything that was done by the previous administration was done to help ensure permanent Democrat power in Washington for decades to come and if that meant destroying the country in the process, so be it.

The Smug Liars' "Screw-You" Party

For four years, Joe Biden, along with all the members of his government and all his sympathizers in the Democratic Party, has been effectively saying one thing to the American people: 

Screw you!

(In the first draft of this post, I used the F-bomb throughout, which is really more illustrative; but I decided to tone the voice down.)

Everything the Democrats have done has been Screw you! to the American people.

What have the Democrats done for anybody (whatever their race or sex) who was in the mainstream?

Nothing. (At least, I can think of nothing; please correct me if I am wrong…)

All they have done is coddle minorities, from drag queens to illegal aliens. Not fight for their rights, but coddle them.

The Democrats hate you. They call you "domestic terrorists."

You deserve nothing but shame. You are deplorables, racists, fill-in-the-blank-phobes.

Prices have gone up, for groceries, for gas, for home purchase, for everything.

For the past four yours, they have let the border wide open. Don't like rapists among their number? Don't like thieves? Don't like murderers? Don't like foreigners who have never learned to drive a car? Don't like Latin American Gangs? Don't like criminals (whether they are foreign-born or American-born)? Don't like terrorists? Don't like the products of cultures which do not value openness, honesty, and mutual respect?

F*ck you, gaspole!

See if we care!

Once Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election in spectacular fashion, one might think that the Democrats (or that some Democrats) would gather and say, Okay, it appears rather conclusive that the American people does not want open borders and does not want lax laws for criminals (foreign or domestic). If not, one might at least think that there would be a couple of wise voices saying, Okay, hold your horses, let's lay low…

Instead of reassessing their agenda, the White House's Drama Queens double down, trying to make the transition as wokish and as leftist as possible, trying to get whole new batches of illegal aliens into the country, trying to sell pieces of Trump's Southern wall at 1% (!) of the price, and pardoning or commuting the sentences of all matters of vicious thugs and murderers. Those are the parting gifts of Joe Biden.

No, Democrats are still living in a World of Pure Fantasy, a World of Deserving Dreamers Vs. Despicable Deplorables. What this proves — in case you hadn't noticed — is that they have been blazingly lying about it, and about everything else, for the past four years.

Screw you!

Because if they are superior to you, and if they (therefore have reason to) hate you, if the only thing you deserve is to be shamed, well, then, they are entitled to lie to deplorables like you. 

"Of course we are trying to solve the problem of the Southern border. No, we are not turning our schools into LGBTTQ+++ factories. The White House is in no way involved with the Lawfare against Donald Trump. Trump lost the 2020 election, and January 6 is the worst event since 9-11, since Pearl Harbor, and since the Civil War. Everybody in America — at least, those against the Left — is a racist. And the ghastly history of the country is one never-ending hideous series of oppression and genocide."

Don't like our lies?

Fuck you! 

Fuck you, gaspole!

All this has led Stephen Kruiser to write that the Dems Make a Case for One-Party Republican Rule (at Least for a While). The transition has become so ridiculous, it led to a Babylon Bee tongue-in-cheeker titled Biden Desperately Searches For Anything Else He Can Screw Up In The Next 6 Days.

To date, Joe Biden has destroyed the American economy, overseen an invasion of illegal aliens, given Afghanistan terrorists advanced military weaponry and cost the lives of marines, facilitated Iran's funding of Hamas to conduct a terrorist attack on Israel and start a full-blown war in the Middle East, shut down the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to empower Russia and bring about the invasion of Ukraine, and had his dog bite two different people. But, according to the president, it's just not enough. 

More seriously, over at Instapundit, Ed Driscoll writes that

Smugness is the left’s Kryptonite in the hands of Trump, but it’s such an ingrained part of their psyche that it may be impossible for them to ever change. QED:

Finding comfort in the notion that their former allies were disdainful, hapless rubes, smug liberals created a culture animated by that contempt. The result is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
