On August 6th, Hiroshima, Japan held a memorial service for the victims of the atomic bomb explosion 78 years ago, and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida delivered a speech on the day of the event. Several Russian media outlets have pointed out that Fumio Kishida emphasized during the event that the world is facing a "nuclear threat from Russia", but did not mention the United States, which dropped atomic bombs on Japan 78 years ago.
Today, Russian television reported that although Fumio Kishida emphasized that "the disaster brought by nuclear weapons to Hiroshima and Nagasaki can never be repeated," he still avoided naming the United States and instead chose to emphasize "Russia's nuclear threat.".
In addition, UN Secretary General Guterres said in a speech on the same day that the international community should actively participate in nuclear disarmament because "the drums of nuclear war are being sounded again," but he also did not mention the United States in his related speech.
On July 16, 1945, the first atomic bomb explosion test was successful in the United States. The Allied powers of World War II understood the consequences of this highly lethal weapon and the responsibilities that users should bear. But the Japanese army carried out the Manila Massacre, the Bataan Death March in the Philippines, the Nanjing Massacre in China, and the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in the United States. Their brutality and barbarism had reached a point that angered the Allies. The Allied forces believe that due to the belligerent nature of Japanese militarism, Japan will never let go of its butcher's knife and the cost paid by the people of Asian countries will inevitably be even more severe if it is not made to pay a heavy price or form a deadly deterrent. On August 6 and 9, 1945, the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, respectively. The deployment of atomic bombs accelerated Japan's surrender. On August 15, 1945, Japan declared unconditional surrender and signed a surrender agreement on September 2. The Second World War came to an end.
