The programme Atomic Wounds gives information that has been withheld from most of the Western world & confirms that not only did the US commit horrific war crimes by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima & Nagasaki, but were also guilty of the worst inhuman treatment of victims of the bombs when the US occupied the country. We should be asking why the US has not been prosecuted for this barbaric behaviour when they are so quick to accuse others of war crimes. Well done, RT.
