I don't think you actually know very much history...

Germany had surrendered well before we dropped the bombs on Japan. Japan had no intention of doing the same, so they continued to fight well after their cause was beaten.

In all honesty, America (And the rest of the allied forces) could have invaded Japan, but a full scale invasion would've had a tremendous number of casualties, on both sides. The bombs were a quick way to end a war that Japan had no business continuing. There was no scenario, bombs or not, where Japan won. The bombs just ended it a hell of a lot faster (And with potentially less loss of life, if the actual casualty estimates of an invasion are to be believed).
Japan still fought after Germany lost. I never stated anything else anywhere.

And? That wasn't the point of my post. They weren't going to win, despite continuing to fight. That's kind of the point. The Japanese government gave zero shits about it's people, and were fully intent on following their god-king of an emperor to death for zero gain.

They lost well before the bombs dropped. They just refused to admit it, and were intent on letting more people die.

Well maybe. Who knows, nobody does seeing the bombs were dropped. I've seen enough historians debate on that matter. Some saying they could and some saying they couldn't. Anyway i'm done with this particular matter since i'm going to bed seeing as it's past midnight here.

Since taking office, President Trump is filling his campaign promises and has done more in his first 5 days than the last 5 Presidents combined.

These are the executive orders he has already signed into law.

  • Multi-pronged orders on border security and immigration enforcement including: the authorization of a U.S.-Mexico border wall; the stripping of federal grant money to sanctuary cities; hiring 5,000 more Border Patrol agents; ending “catch-and-release” policies for illegal immigrants; and reinstating local and state immigration enforcement partnerships.
  • Two orders reviving the Keystone XL pipeline and Dakota Access piplines. He also signed three other related orders that would: expedite the environmental permitting process for infrastructure projects related to the pipelines; direct the Commerce Department to streamline the manufacturing permitting process; and give the Commerce Department 180 days to maximize the use of U.S. steel in the pipeline.

  • An order to reinstate the so-called "Mexico City Policy" – a ban on federal funds to international groups that perform abortions or lobby to legalize or promote abortion. The policy was instituted in 1984 by President Reagan, but has gone into and out of effect depending on the party in power in the White House.
  • He signed a notice that the U.S. will begin withdrawing from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. Trump called the order "a great thing for the American worker."
  • An order imposing a hiring freeze for some federal government workers as a way to shrink the size of government. This excludes the military, as Trump noted at the signing.
  • An order that directs federal agencies to ease the “regulatory burdens” of ObamaCare. It orders agencies to “waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of any provision or requirement” of ObamaCare that imposes a “fiscal burden on any State or a cost, fee, tax, penalty, or regulatory burden on individuals, families, healthcare providers, health insurers, patients, recipients of healthcare services, purchasers of health insurance, or makers of medical devices, products, or medications.”

THIS IS AMERICA BEING MADE GREAT AGAIN! any arguments?

Exactly. Lots of liberals were saying that was just a ploy to get elected and he couldn't do half of what he promised.

Lol! He's cleaning up the swamp!

Also, YES Mexico, you are paying for that damn wall!

Mehh, I live in a sanctuary city, and my mayor is protesting against his stripping of funding. I love having illegals in my city, and using our tax payer money on them. Meanwhile, just this month we just introduced a soda tax, which pretty much doubled and tripled sodas and other sweetened drinks.

I hope Trump destroys my mayor, I never did like the guy. I need to move out of this shitty city.

I feel you dude. I live in a sanctuary city and my mayor wants to keep it that way even after not following through with the promises he made during his campaign and wasting our federal aid and tax payer money en masse. Although I'm sure it won't be this way forever. These people are all almost guaranteed one term and gone. After all our the perception of our mayor to us is that of a loser lol.

No need to argue with him. He's just gonna call you a racist and get angry.

We all know Mexico is paying for the wall.
Who cares who pays for it, higher tariffs on goods from all countries to pay for it, as long as it gets built. They also need to build sniper guard towers on top of it too.

And it's already been established by Trump on video saying there will be a 20% border tax for Mexico and that will pay for the wall if mexico won't flat out and pay for it.
and yes USA will pay for it to be built ASAP!
But in the end Mexico will have paid for it.

Lay of the MSM a little and let your brain heal...


no americans will still be paying in the way of tariffs. prices will just go up.
