Maicol Sebastian Engström (elev) Tell me how the fuck kurz is worse, like damn. Infographics just lurches around wikipedia then draws some fuckin' pictures. Kurz takes at least a month to research per video and animates everything, while infographics just reuses assets each video. Infographics show is kinda interesting... i guess... but kurzgesagt takes the fucking crown.
Maicol Sebastian Engström (elev) Yeah you did say it, but just the the fact that you said it alone proves something... not so great about you. Kurzgesagt actually talk to researches, and people that know their shit. Infographics show do have nice animation, but they go their "facts" from Wiki. I am not calling them bad, I watch some of their vids, but they can't really one up Kurzgesagt.
@Maicol Sebastian Engström (elev) In a nutshell takes longer to upload cz do a lot more research and work on every single video..Not saying infographics is bad..I watch em both
Brandon, as much as I dislike nuclear weapons they have had an up side(I know, crazy right). With the development of nuclear weapons programs, we also learned to use nuclear power, which is the greenest power source developed so far, as well as nuclear medicine, that has saved the lives of millions over the last 60+ years. No technology has only an upside, unfortunately, but if used responsibly we can negate most of the damages done to humanity.
@@ilham3367 no, nuclear power has been demonized due to 3 major accidents: Kyshtim, Russia(1957), 3-mile Island, USA(1979), & Chernobyl, Russia(1986). The reason I say it's the greenest power source so far, is that the power to cost ratio is better than the other power sources developed so far.(cost includes storage of contaminants) Most of these plants were not new, and prompted design changes for added safety & redundancy of critical systems. As an example of poor planning that can happen when people rush development, I use Fukashima as the best example. It was built out of necessity on the coast in a fault zone, not that there was much choice.
@@ilham3367 If I remember correctly look at nuclear power in Western Europe & Central USA, those plants have been around for a while with very few problems. They are in areas with a low risk of fault activity and other naturally caused issues. I think if you look around the world you will find that nuclear power is more widely used safely than you may think, and has been for about 60+ years now.
You’re totally right about how we think of ourselves as a country for having done this, I’m not sure enough people truly understand the horror of what using 2 of these weapons on real people in real cities. The destructive potential of nuclear weapons is difficult to fathom.
I'm not sure you understand the horror of an American Invasion (Hint: before you say anything, look up the Japanese plans to resist the American Invasion, Operation Ketsugo -"The Glorious Death of 100 Million") given what we suffered on Okinawa and Iwo Jima. I suppose we could have starved them out, rather than invaded. After a few million dead, MAYBE the military government would come to its senses or maybe there'd be a successful revolt. Maybe. Anyway compared to invasion, blockade, or even the American Firebombing of Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki look pretty good.
one misconception, this is the scenario of a hydrogen bomb dropped on a city, a modern nuke. The atomic bomb dropped on japan, while it did have *some* of the effects listed in this video, is not cimparable
I don't care about who is right or who started it. Wars shouldn't be a thing, let alone destructive nukes. Make an orion drive instead with those nukes, I'd love to see that happen.
You're saying wars shouldn't be a thing, that humans shouldn't fight. But listen to this: We are humans, Humans are greedy and don't like it when someone else has something they want. That's how fights and shit start. You can't stop it.
In 2017 they made a rule with the president to stop nukes and ever since there haven’t been nukes well some in small abounded towns or tests for the army
Hiroshima and a second bomb landed in Nagasaki. It was terrible bro. I personally love Japanese culture, because without it there'd be no manga or anime. At the time, though, Japan was bombed simply as a show of power to intimidate the Japanese government into surrender. In the end, the war for all sides (countries) was about resources, and ultimately, territory.
Mohamed Torrey we only nuked them because Japan was refusing to surrender and carrying out the war which would have overall cost more lives. We just wanted to end it quickly.
You see dude, You should watch the video of the Bomber plane that dropped the first Nuke. If you think what American leaders claimed about Nukes is bad, the pilot was having the time of his life in the video of the bomber plane that dropped "Little boy".
8:00 Millions of more Americans, and Japanese would’ve died if the bombs were not dropped. Japan wouldn’t have surrendered, they would rather die than surrender. That would cause a land invasion of Japan which like I said would’ve caused the death of millions more people and it would’ve extended the war probably into at least mid 1946 and cost the US a lot more money. The dropping of the bombs destroyed most of two cities and killed a lot of people but having to invade Japan would’ve cost the US and Japan millions of more lives and millions of more dollars.
He was more talking about the lack of knowledge most people have about it. I can see his perspective. People think that they all just instantly died but that’s not the case.
Japan was already on its knees, the americans had already won the war. And even if it wasn't, they could use the nuke against a militar base. They used them on cities because they wanted to show to the world their power, there was no other reasons and there is no excuse to such indiscriminate carnage
Just because you kept bringing it up. Modern day nuclear warheads are far more effective and dangerous than the ones that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The actual amount of fuel that reached critical mass and released it's energy in the bomb that hit Hiroshima was less than a bank notes worth, and that wasn't a double staged bomb, the nukes we have today are Hydrogen bombs that used 2 cores, one of them fissions highly unstable elements, and the other one uses the energy created from that reaction to make the other part, the fusion bomb. For comparison, Fat Man and Little Boy are like going paintballing, hydrogen bombs are like being deployed in Afghanistan
Nuclear bombs are only max 6x stronger than a MOAB or FOAB which are the two largest non nuclear bombs ever created. There are bigger ones like atomic bombs and even bigger ones the hydrogen bombs. Now the hydrogen bombs are what you're not gonna wanna mess with... Here are the biggest hydrogen bombs made by the USA and USSR This is the biggest bomb ever made by the USA (castle bravo): m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T2I66dHbSRA.html Russia's bomb (tsar bomba): m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YtCTzbh4mNQ.html (ik castle bravo looks bigger and more intimidating than tsar bomba but tsar bomba is the biggest) Just for people who never heard of tsar or castle bravo or these kinds of bombs
At the beginning the answer to the question of why did we nuke Japan is because thay attacked us for no reason if you don't want the military to protect you that's fine but if the military didn't drop the nuke we probably would of lost the war
Just too let you know, nuking Japan saved more live than it took. If we would've just fought Japan they wouldn't have surrendered so quickly and on top of that, we killed way more people while fire bombing Japan's biggest cities before we dropped the Atom Bomb, so we were really out of options. So thats why we did that. Edit: I also forgot to mention, we didn't entirely know what the outcome would be besides some tests in the middle of the desert with no people to be tested on.
We had already done a bomb raid on Tokyo taking over 100,000 lives. Even if we didn't nuke them they would've surrendered. Plus we had to demonstrate superiority to Soviet Russia.
@@wack8697 Well I would probably have to say what made me change my mind was the realization was that the whole idea of dropping the nukes saving lives was entirely US propaganda that I fell for and wasn't at all based in reality. I can't really think of the specific instance that made me realize this as it was most likely a passive change brought upon by my overall changing ideology and beliefs, but that is the general reasoning for the change in opinion.
@@wack8697 I'm honestly glad you responded to this comment because it made me realize how much I have progressed in terms of logical and critical thinking lmfao.
That is NOT a justification. Americans could make the bombs explode on militar bases, or even just in the ocean on in a desertic land. The ONLY reason because they nuke the cities was to show to the world their power. There was no other reason and there is no excuse for such cruelty
We knew exactly how powerful they are. We knew what it would do and how many people it would maim and kill. We just didn't give a shit cause there was a war to win. Question is...was it worth it in the long run? Fuck no it wasn't worth it.
Amazing reaction Brandon, a follow up video to this one is ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yr5yh1O5mnA.html (Legit a good video, not a lot of views tho so I dont know if you want to showcase it or not) Either way, great reaction and keep the grind up!
Just adding to your intro, Africans are more diverse between each each other than a European is diverse to a Native American, which just goes to show how skin colour tells you nothing about a person other than their race. An Asian and a European with different skin colours are more related to each other than two Africans in the same country with the same skin colour are to each other. Also, skin colour can be changed within 2 generations, which again shows how trivial skin colour is. It tells you almost nothing.
@HanselManCan "A brief history of everyone who ever lived" is my source, plus this interview with Neil DeGrasse Tyson : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dLoO-N_IKWg.html Timestamp: 13:55 Plus, it's just logical that a small sub-sample of humans that emigrated from Africa 70,000 years ago does not fully represent the full range of genetic diversity that existed in the entire human population 70,000 years ago. All non-Africans are descendants of a smaller gene pool, therefore, it's self evident that the diversity among non-Afrcians is far less than the diversity among Africans, and the DNA evidence bears this out.
1945 they wanted to test the bomb on citys with a huge population because to see the max. how many people can kill this bomb (the victims: Hiroshima and Nagasaki) and they said "before we sacrifice thousands of people (u.s army etc.) let's use this bomb". The Government were also afraid of people's anger if they find out they had this bomb but never used it and instead sacrificed their own men.. I know I know there are no excuses for this terrible event in history and for sure there were other- more peaceful solutions, hopefully it'll never happen again.. peace
You know how many lives we saved dropping those nukes? If we didn’t japan wouldn’t surrender and we would have to risk losing millions of American soldiers in a battle much worse than 2 little nukes
It was a different time back then and America and Asia were fighting a different Japan, a Japan that did so many Horrific shiz. The Nuke was indeed necessary, America had to and it's horrible but America had to do it or Japan would have never surrendered and Asia would be very different today.
Nukes weren't necessary. And even if they were, americans could use them against a militar base. The only reason because they used them on cities was for show the world their power. There is no justification for this carnage, it is just a immoral act
The Innocent were enemies? Killing hundreds of thousands who had nothing to do with the war is ok to you? Well, i can see now how dumb our specie can be.
Bro lol we dropped the bomb on Hiroshima cuz they hit us at pearl harbor we didn't just do it randomly. Also we dropped an atomic bombs not nuclear bomb. War sometimes is necessary or else we would not have America and everything we luv. We would have been run by a king no freedom.
Also we gave both citys ample warning, with Nagasaki we specifically said We are in possession of the most destructive bomb ever created by man....take inquiry to what happened to Hiroshima
0:42 "Why did we do that bro?" It was in retaliation to the attack Japan did to us on Pearl Harbor (an extreme retaliation; but a retaliation nonetheless). The Pearl Harbor death count of 2,403 (which does include civilian casualties) may seem insignificant compared to our bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with about 200,000 deaths. But, Japan did start this. Had Japan acquired nukes before the U.S., I have no doubt they would have done the same to us, if not worse.
The Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not in response to Pearl Harbor lol go back to the history class. The US hoped to end the war by using the A-bomb to force the Japanese government to surrender to them. Instead of shedding potentially even more Allied and Axis lives by going from island to island.
@@pepsigasmlulw8832 so ur saying we would've nuked Japan whether they attacked us or not? And that the U.S. wasn't holding a bit of a grudge after the Pearl Harbor attack? I'm sure if the U.S. wanted the war to end quickly, and wasnt attacked by Japan, the target to nuke probably would have been different if none at all. It's like saying 9/11 had no impact on why we got involved in the Middle East.
@@Alliedboy117 Thats not what i said go back and read my comment. The response to Pearl Harbor was officially entering the war because the US wanted vengeance. Not the A bombs. The reason they were used are 2 reasons. 1. They wanted to field test the weapon in an inhabited zone to study what effect it had so Japan was the perfect target. 2. As i stated above it was to force the Japanese to surrender so the US didnt have to sacrifice more of their own by hopping from island to island to clear out the Japanese forces.
@@pepsigasmlulw8832 everything ur saying relates to Pearl Harbor; I don't see the point ur arguing. You are just adding information onto what I'm saying. Attack on Pearl Harbor leads to US vengeance which leads to A Bombs on Japan. Field testing the weapon and avoiding more casualties were coincidental benefits.
@@Alliedboy117 You're misunderstanding me. The A-bomb wasnt even in design phase when Pearl Harbor happened. The US already had their sweet vengeance in destroying the IJN they just wanted the war to end and go home thats why they dropped the bomb. Not out of spite for the Japanese.
the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was to end the war had we invaded japan the deathtoll on both sides would have been over a million us soldiers not to mention the japonese would have never surrendered we would have had to kill them all educate yourself read up on military history not just ours all military history as far back as the time of the romans to present you will find that some decisions where debated by all leadership good place to research is the history channel there website is history.com
Just think during 50's and 60's were like, and if maybe nuclear war were to happen around that time. It'll be way way waaaaay worse than what U.S did to Japan.
They arent victims they were aggressors, the millions in china didnt want war with japan, Korea didnt want to be apart of japan the Filipino people and American soldiers suffered under Japanese occupation
@@ashrantale917 When you bomb other peoples civilians don't be surprised when your civilians get bombed, and these citizens were given ample warning nagasaki was specifically told they were going to be attacked with the most powerful bomb ever created by man I'm pretty sure the Japanese didn't give the Chinese or Filipinos the same warning
We liked Japan on April 6 1945 and we Didi it to end WW2 and also we liked 2 city's on Japan Hiroshima and Nagasaki and to show that we have power don't mess with United States of America 🔥
You should react to Eric Dubay. He’s the leader of the flat earth movement . Check out his channel and ready to a video that stands out to you I think you’d find it interesting
