Hiroshima

[filkertom]

Sixty-four years ago today, the US detonated an atomic bomb over the city of Hiroshima, Japan. a few days later, they dropped another over Nagasaki.

May such weapons never be used again.

The free market would have found a way. They had a demand, someone would be there with the supply. Japan always had to primarily rely on outside resources to modernize and antagonized its neighbors in the process. Rebuilding their military would have been tough, but they would have found a way.

A free market that apparently could magically run a blockade.

Yes because all blockades are magically 100% effective. ::rolls eyes::
