Oliver Stone Exposes Oppenheimer’s Truth on Tucker Carlson

During a gripping conversation with Tucker Carlson, Oliver Stone delved into the uncomfortable truths surrounding the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, inspired by the movie Oppenheimer. Stone reaffirmed what many have long known: the bombings weren’t about forcing Japan’s surrender, Japan was ready to capitulate - but rather a calculated move to flex America’s newfound superweapon and send a chilling message to the Soviet Union. Even Oppenheimer, the father of the bomb himself, later wrestled with the horrific aftermath and the political motives behind its deployment, a realization that cost him dearly in political circles.

Rules for Thee, Nukes for Me

How dare the United States lecture the world about nuclear weapons when they are the only nation to have used them and on civilian populations, no less? Over 200,000 innocent lives were incinerated in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, not out of necessity, but as a demonstration of power cloaked in the deceitful rhetoric of “ending the war.” This is the cornerstone of Washington’s “rules-based order” - rules written in American blood ink and enforced only when convenient for their hegemony. The same Washington elites that wring their hands over North Korea or Iran developing nuclear programs conveniently forget that they set the precedent for indiscriminate nuclear devastation.

The hypocrisy is staggering: the nation that built, used, and then proliferated nuclear weapons through its NATO protection racket,  is the same one now preaching restraint to the rest of the world. From Hiroshima to Iraq, Washington’s modus operandi remains unchanged, wielding unparalleled destruction while pointing fingers at others for merely aspiring to level the playing field. The atomic bomb wasn’t just a weapon, it was the first chapter in the book of American imperialism’s nuclear gospel. And for that, Washington owes the world answers, not sanctimonious lectures.
