I would like to have seen more inside the museum but that would probably have made this video too long for young people

Hiroshima keeps memory of atomic bomb survivors alive – DW – 08/04/2023

As the number of atomic bomb survivors declines in Japan, their "successors" are taking over to continue telling the world about the horrors of nuclear weapons.

In 1959, I and my family got off a train at the Hiroshima station to change trains for Iwakuni where our relatives lived.
My parents and grandfather only hurried for Iwakuni and we had no chance to walk around Hiroshima, which was all of my memory about Hiroshima.
I now understand that they recused the town.

 

[Shinpachi]

In 1984, I happened to visit Hiroshima on business.
I left the town without visiting the memorial museum due to my parents' manner of old times.
Hiroshima is still a town to be mourned in my heart.

and many other hearts world wide, just as many people world wide mourn the senseless destruction of Ukrainian cities, towns, villages and civilians.

Not a work-mate of mine. He comes from Romania, and told me about 20 years ago, the Ukraine invaded and annexed parts of Romania, and no-one batted an eyelid. He has no sympathy for them at all.

I'd never heard of it either. Might have if NATO had been involved?

No wonder you didn't find/hear it because it wasn't the Ukraina but the USSR. In 1940 soviets started occupation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina that belonged to the Romania. Stalin issued an ultimatum in June 1940 demanding these areas. In case the Romania would reject that Stalin planned the full scale attack on the Romania. But Romanians decided to withdraw their army troops and leave the disputed territory. Actually the Nazi Germany knew about soviets plans because it was written down in the secret protocol of the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact. What is more Germans were ready to help soviets if they would attack.

On the August 2nd 1940 the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic was proclaimed as a constituent republic of the Soviet Union, encompassing most of Bessarabia and part of the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, an autonomous republic of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic on the left bank of the Dniester (now the breakaway Transnistria). The Hertsa region and the regions inhabited by Slavic majorities (Northern Bukovina, Northern and Southern Bessarabia) were included in the Ukrainian SSR. A period of political persecution, including executions, deportations to labour camps and arrests, occurred during the Soviet administration. In July 1941, Romanian and Nazi German troops occupied Bessarabia, Northern Bukovina and Hertsa during the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union.
In August 1944, during the Soviet Second Jassy–Kishinev Offensive, the Axis war effort on the Eastern Front collapsed. And the soviet forces advanced from Bessarabia into Romania.On September 12, 1944, Romania signed the Moscow Armistice with the Allies. The Armistice and the subsequent peace treaty of 1947 confirmed the Soviet-Romanian border as it was on January 1, 1941. The Bessarabia, Northern Bukovina and Hertsa remained part of the Soviet Union until it collapsed in 1991, when they became part of the newly independent states of Moldova and Ukraine. The Declaration of Independence of Moldova of August 27, 1991, declared the Soviet occupation illegal.

So ... the border was established in 1940 (annexation of Bessarabia and northern Bukovina by the Soviet Union), confirmed by the Paris Peace Treaty in 1947. Until 1991, the current border of Ukraine (Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic) and Romania (Romanian People's Republic) was part of the border with the USSR and had an identical course.

As the USSR had gone, the former socialist country must return the territory immediately IMO.

Generally speaking in the history, a puppet leader could not control diplomatic issues well as his determination was weak.
Chiang Kai-sheck could not win the civil war in China because everything he needed was given for free by the allies and he needed little determination to win. So was Syngman Rhee as the first president of South Korea. Even Japan's Emperor Hirohito was also a puppet of IJA.

Shinpachi - San, The Russians were always expansionist and non trust-worthy.

You probably have heard about Russo-Persia wars in late 1700's to middle 1800's ... In short, they captured Caucasus and Turkmenistan from Iran, or Qajar dynasty. Regimes changed, but lost lands never returned.

As I said before, there are "unsolved problems" from past, which cause bigger problems today.

Needless to say what happened later, during both world wars...

My country was neutral in both wars, but was ransacked by those who called themselves saviors... Search about great famine in Iran during ww1.

Same goes for ww2... My country was neutral, but again ransacked by those who claim fighting for freedom!!!

There are such problems with Arabs, Turks, British, American and so many other ones... Debts needed, and will be collected, either from respectful means, or by force, fear and terror.

A4K , Regarding Ukraine, I really don't care too!
There are way more important things, in my country that need attention and act. When no one cares about us, why we should care about others???

When my people were slaughtered by regime's hunting dogs, did they support us? Did any country send arms and armour for us? Did any of those so called "best and most powerful" Airforce, Navy, Ground Forces of the world, did anything for us??? No, they didn't. They can rot in hell, forever.

Future relations between Iran and any other countries, will be based on how much terrorists have they slaughtered, or how many terrorist dens and cells have they destroyed.

 

[Shinpachi]

Those who lead and support war are same as "Yakuza" .
Tragedy would be anybody can be transformed into Yakuza anytime if necessary.
Don't come closer to them IMO.

 

[Shinpachi]

On August 6, I solemnly pray for their souls.

For 1440 years, we have tried different ways of communicating terrorists and occupants... Only blood, terror and fear, answered. All other ways of communication, were rejected forcefully. They left us no choice.

Kim Jong-un may know the best answer.
Not only late Abe but our PM Kishida is seeking a chance to meet him.

All we want, is to take back what is rightfully is ours! And have a normal life, like the rest of the world!!! Without sanctions, filters and cencoreship.

We want that world know us as Iranians, Terrorist Slayers, not as motherwhore terrorists who infested my country. They shall be banished to where their false pedophilic prophet, came from!

"China hacked Japan's sensitive defense networks, officials say" - The Washington Post

As far as I remember, this is not new news since 2019 and does not tell that Pentagon requested the direct inspection of Japan's security system as it was Japanese made. Japanese government refused.
