Seventy-five years ago, precisely on Transfiguration, 1945, that first deadly and highly devastating uranium atom bomb referred to as the "Little Boy" was dropped by the Americans on the Japanese city of Hiroshima - a city of about 350,000. Then on the 9th, that's three days after, another atom bomb tagged "Fat Man" was unleashed on Nagasaki. These two blasts killed quite 300,000 people. Some died instantly while others were incapacitated from the radiation from the explosions. et al. survived but are yet to get over the physical and emotional trauma. because of the then us President Truman, who immediately stopped the bombings after seeing the devastation of the primary two otherwise Japan would are totally exhausted. And also the wise Japanese emperor who horridly, unconditionally surrendered. But did it stop at that? No. Though these actions effectively delivered to an end to the Second War, the Soviet's success in testing their own nuclear bomb in 1949 signaled the start of the harrowing, long conflict, and therefore the nuclear race. First, the Americans, then the Soviets, and now other nations have joined within the race to destruction by stockpiling these deadly weapons that threaten to wipe out mankind.
But has the planet learned anything from these unfortunate events? No! What we still see today may be a world bent on destroying itself - from the ambition induced devastating world wars to nuclear race to biological and chemical weapons and therefore the soon (or already) 'weaponization' of the space. Some countries are already establishing Space Forces. You saw President Trump recently inaugurating us Space Force. And who knows exactly what a number of these countries freight to space hebdomadally within the name of classified space launches and shuttles? awaken for the space race has started in earnest. check out the big resources being wasted on the assembly of a number of these weapons of mass destruction - trillions of dollars. does one know what it costs to supply a hypersonic missile, intercontinental ballistic missiles, or a number of those stealth air, space, and watercraft - so, me capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads and other hi-tech weapons? Imagine what positive effects these resources and efforts would have had if they were channeled to assist humanity. Unfortunately, even the countries battling their economies and development also are during this wasteful, expensive, and dangerous race. Recently, the American president announced that the country is already producing a missile which will be 15 times faster than the Russian and Chinese hypersonic weapons. a number of these can reach the farthest a part of the planet is but an hour. and that they are just those they need the general public to understand. Of course, there'll always be many classified weapons, inventions, crafts, and operations that these countries wouldn't let their competitors know of. in any case who knew that we were developing those nuclear weapons within the 40s? Now, though there are treaties and unwritten mutual respect among these nuclear powers and that they will likely not use these weapons unless their survival is threatened, but imagine a war between them or these materials going into the hands of any of those powerful terrorist groups. which will definitely be the start of the top of our world.
What is the planet doing about the build-up of tension and arms by China and America within the South China Sea, the India - China border conflict in Ladakh, and therefore the persistent tension within the Persian Gulf? Has it done enough to prevent the madness in Libya, in Somalia, in Mali, and therefore the confusion in North Eastern a part of "> a part of Nigeria where the terrorists have for quite 15 years occupied and unleashed hell thereto part of the country at the helpless watch of the country's government? Nigeria's security situation is one among the worst with the planet feigning unaware of it. Hundreds are killed and displaced in these places hebdomadally. that's exactly how the planet also gleefully watched and a few consciencelessly aided the killing and therefore the starving to death of quite 3 million children, women, and defenseless Biafrans of the Eastern Nigeria during the 1967 genocide - one among the worst in modern history. Unfortunately, even when it's said that the action against these Biafrans has ended, political, economic, and psychological war remains being waged against them till today. Sure, more people are killed or traumatized in these places than in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But these aren't the sole efforts by man to destroy his world. What of the largely ignored global climate change issue, the coronavirus pandemic, and therefore the unnecessary egoistic trade and diplomatic wars?
Today, the entire world has been delivered to its knees by the virus said to possess escaped from a Chinese lab in Wuhan. As I write COVID 19 has killed about 800,000 and infected quite 20 million. Economic and social activities are crippled for months globally by this man-made carelessness or wickedness. there's a complete global locked down. The economic and social disruption is monumental, unquantifiable, and unprecedented-with many jobs and businesses lost. it'll indeed take a few years for the planet to recover and even after recovering, our life, especially our socialization will never be an equivalent again. Now, with all the reasons, many still believe that this virus was a bioweapon that was carelessly or deliberately released from Wuhan. it's almost shocking that up till now nobody is taking responsibility or apologizing for unleashing this level of pain, sorrow, tears, loss, and death to the planet. It really seems like the long-predicted Armageddon is close to coming to the past, but we will quickly reign in these unnecessary actions, ambitions, and excesses to avert an imminent global annihilation and build a far better, peaceful, healthy, and prosperous world for all folks.
