Of course.

A word of caution though. Occupied is not the same as Contested territories.

It has been argued that the US could have detonated a single bomb off the Japanese coast as a demonstration of it's power without the need to drop it on two cities. It's a moot point.

However history is written by the victors so Churchill and Truman are untouchable.

Among older Australians Churchill is a pretty despised figure for reasons we have discussed here before.

I just noticed this.

I'm not a troll.

I often have a perspective on events and people in the UK that people in UK are probably too close to see what shows up from a wider viewpoint.

Expressing them does not make a troll.

It must be difficult to see someone slaughtering sacred cows however when viewed from a greater distance those cows sometimes are pigs.

Thass' all.
