Prof Michel Chossudovsky | globalresearch.ca | 2019-11-27

Washington's Blog | globalresearch.ca | 2019-11-27
Like all Americans, I was taught that the U.S. dropped nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in order to end WWII and save both American and Japanese lives. But most of the top American military officials at the time said otherwise.
