JFFREY KAYE—Wherever the long denials of U.S. use of biological weapons during the Korean War may have originated, and no matter what the authority behind them, the denials fade away in the face of new unassailable documentation from U.S. government records of germ warfare attacks against North Korean and Chinese military units. The question now is how will U.S. historians, political scientists, the press, and the public respond to this turnabout regarding the old germ war charges.

The U.S.’ geopolitical position has shifted over the past four years, with some of the more prolific examples in 2020 specifically being the fact that China’s economy became a full sixth (17%) larger than that of America,[1] and that China’s military fully matched U.S. spending levels on new acquisitions. The formerly unthinkable fact that Iran was able to brazenly launch a missile attack on an American military base in Iraq in January and cause over 100 casualties without suffering retribution was an earlier example that year.

KIM PETERSEN—During the US-UN-China-Korean war the US destroyed crops, food reserves, and the energy grid when it attacked the DPRK – actions designed to cause food shortages. It was war in which the US used biological and chemical weapons. US military commanders had even sought permission to use nuclear weapons. The US caused enormous destruction during the war on the peninsula, a war that some claim was started by the US and the Republic of Korea (ROK). There had been several ROK troop incursions into the North preceding the DPRK invasion that began on 25 June 1950.

After Hiroshima and Nagasaki: U.S. and Australian Brutalisation of Women on the Japanese Mainland
22 minutes readA B ABRAMS—An example of such an incident was in April 1946, when approximately U.S. personnel in three trucks attacked the Nakamura Hospital in Omori district. The soldiers raped over 40 patients and 37 female staff. One woman who had given birth just two days prior had her child thrown on the floor and killed, and she was then raped as well. Male patients trying to protect the women were also killed. The following week several dozen U.S. military personnel cut the phone lines to a housing block in Nagoya and raped all the women they could capture there – including girls as young as ten years old and women as old as fifty-five.
