Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has not thought twice before remaining tight-lipped about the fact that it was the US who dropped a nuclear bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima in August 1945.
"Seventy-nine years ago today, an atomic bomb deprived people, said to number well more than 100,000, of their precious lives. It reduced the city to ashes and mercilessly deprived people of their dreams and bright futures," Kishida said in an address at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony on Tuesday.
He went even further by referring to an alleged “nuclear threat” from Russia, which purportedly makes “the situation surrounding nuclear disarmament all the more challenging.”
About 140,000 people were killed as a result of the August 6, 1945 US' atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Three days later, Americans dropped another atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Nagasaki, killing an additional 74,000 people.
The US remains the world’s only country to have used a nuclear weapon against a population center.
