The lesson most people drew from Hiroshima is, "Huh. So bombing civilians does win wars." But the people who drew that conclusion were wrong. The painful failure of Russia's attacks on civilians in Ukraine is just further evidence of that fact.

Big, big news. 91% of Americans want a new treaty with Russia that either freezes nuclear weapons where they are or reduces their numbers.

How do we know Japan's leaders surrendered because the Soviet Union unexpectedly declared war and came in on the side of the US?
