Medvedev Notes Irony That U.S. Tells Japan That Dropping a Nuclear Bomb Is ‘Against Humanity and Unjustifiable’?

Jan. 14, 2023, 2022 (EIRNS)—The joint statement between the United States and Japan yesterday includes the reckless comment “We state unequivocally that any use of a nuclear weapon by Russia in Ukraine would be an act of hostility against humanity and unjustifiable in any way.”  The senseless sentence provoked Russia’s deputy chairman of the Security Council, former President Dmitry Medvedev (in Russian). After all, wasn’t it the U.S. that dropped the only nuclear bombs in history, on Japan’s civilians?

Medvedev wrote today on Telegram:

“Biden and Kishida said that any possible use of nuclear weapons by Russia in Ukraine would be an act of hostility against all of humanity that cannot be justified.

“This is such a monstrous shame that I will not even comment on the paranoia about the nuclear plans of our state. Think about it. The head of the Japanese government, in a humiliating, loyal ecstasy, is talking nonsense about Russia, having betrayed the memory of hundreds of thousands of Japanese who were burned in the nuclear fire of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And Kishida absolutely does not care that the only country that fully used nuclear weapons was the United States. And its only victim is his own Motherland. He would have to remind the President of the United States about this and demand repentance, which was never brought for this act of war by the American leadership.

“But no, Kishida is just an attendant for the Americans. And servants cannot have courage.

“It remains to pity the Japanese. After all, such a shame can be washed away only by committing a seppuku right at a meeting of their Cabinet upon their return.”

As the Schiller Institute conference today pointed out, every U.S. five-star general vehemently opposed Churchill and Truman’s plan to nuclear bomb Japan as an act of hostility against all of humanity that cannot be justified.
