That's more geopolitical than cultural, which ultimately is cultural, yes, but I think you know the difference.

Yes, and Islamic fundamentalists are the worst in terms of what we have in this age. They outnumber and outdo anyone else.

The whole idea of religion is outdated. Abrahamic religions all share a similar problem. The real issue arises when a religion meets a particular culture.

No normal culture should/would ever allow this kind of thing to happen. Fundamentalist Islamic culture is the most harmful plague of its kind. It's miles ahead of other any other problematic religious cultures, and it's significant enough to be concerned.

It's something we should actively denounce and criticize, and it's not racist or disrespectful to other cultures to do so.

I quoted directly from the Wikipedia page you provided but okay 🤷‍♂️.

Use of the expression to discredit or deflect a claim of wrongdoing by attacking the originator of the claim for their own similar behaviour (rather than acknowledging the guilt of both) is the tu quoque logical fallacy.

And I assume you wish the US to keep doing that because China is doing that and it's clearly working?

Well at least Genocide Joe didn't become the president.

All while raping 12 year old girls are totally fine.

At least they won't be state level threat anymore.

Judging from all this I think the US will just kill the theocratic dictator Mr whoever and let Israel do what they want to do next, so there's no winning or losing here to the US at least.

Say the last part to Gazans.

And you think it's fine? What are you trying to say? Dead women and queers are better than dead everyone so don't let Iranians have democracy?

Because we think killing women and queers just because they exist is a big no no.

What led to the rather tragic decision was the fact that the Japanese did not consider surrendering. Japanese high-ups used their elite pilots like one-off missiles rather than to surrender, and hoped that 100 million Japanese people would 'shatter like a jewel'(一億玉砕), rather than, you know, be alive.

Landing option the US had, Operation Downfall, also included bombing the coastal defense with nuclear bombs and literally obliterating Japan as a whole, so I'm not sure if that would have caused fewer casualties, not to mention it would have been a painstakingly long fight, ultimately leading to more painful exploitation for the victims like Korea and Southeast Asia. Even after the first bomb was dropped, they did not consider surrendering.

I am not saying that the bomb was the only way the war could have ended(although that was something I implied jokingly), and I'm not ignoring the fact that countless civilians died from it. But I don't think any other options would have had fewer casualties, especially from the viewpoint of one of their many colonies that was brutally exploited and suffered.

Well without that nuke us South Koreans would still be one of many Japanese colony so I'm very much all for it.

I thought the vote happened before the strike?
