@BeschlossDC @Borney25 President Truman with the mic drop
@BeschlossDC he did the right thing. But, typical politician, he exaggerates the Pearl Harbor death toll 50-170%. And civilians mattered.
@BeschlossDC love it
@BeschlossDC
1. America was treating Japan as the enemy (provocation)
2. Japan made a surgical military strike killing very few civilians.
@BeschlossDC
3. Russia killed 90% of Nazis killed, and Roosevelt & Stalin had quiet agreements ... but Truman didn't hear them, or care.
@BeschlossDC
4. Truman of course wanted to scare the Russians ... rather than play the Russia card correctly
but etc etc etc etc
@BeschlossDC
SO ... Truman proved to the Russians that Americans can't be trusted... and melted a lot of Japanese... yet Russia got the bomb
@beschlossdc Harry Truman called us(the Japanese) "beast". Do you agree with him?
@BeschlossDC Wow. That's an amazing letter. Love it.
@BeschlossDC @DemFromCT I
Harry Truman.
@BeschlossDC @frankvanhaste Thanks Frank.
@BeschlossDC @Wonko_the_sane_ how can u verify its authenticity?
@BeschlossDC Thank you, President Truman!
@BeschlossDC @Potus_Geeks "youngster" is word you don't hear much nowadays
@BeschlossDC God Bless you Harry Truman, you made the right...and very brave...decision. Japan attacked the U.S. unprovoked, had it coming
@BeschlossDC @HenryGraff Atomic bomb was harsh & devastating... and it stopped the War 9 days later with Japan's unconditional surrender.
@BeschlossDC The destruction of 2 Japanese cities did not save half a million lives. US estimated casualties for invasion were 25K.
