Yuck. He's even more annoying than usual, too. Also, he should not do facial hair.

Also, I don't care if it's more "traditionally left" or "right," I'm more inclined to respect someone who says the mass killing of civilians is bad, than that it's justified. I'm open to an argument, but if I just have to pick a side, I'm on the anti-mass civilian murder side. Guess I'm a leftist, because shitbag neocon Ben Shapiro said so.

Also, as with all war, it was all political. Would not dropping the bombs have cost some lives? Yeah. But Japan already wanted to surrender, they just didn't want to be completely enslaved by the victors, and wanted better terms. The US didn't drop the bombs to save the lives of the soldiers that would have died by not dropping them, either. I can guarantee you that was barely even a consideration. It was geopolitical, and also just scientific...they wanted to test the bombs in wartime. They wanted to oppress the defeated Japan. They wanted more economic and geopolitical benefit.

Anyone saved by the bombs was a fringe benefit...not that that makes saving their lives any less valuable, but it's worth keeping in mind. No, the intentional mass killing of civilians was an intention move to bully and oppress the losing side. Tucker was a bit off the handle at times in that interview, but he's right...that's evil.
