People suggest that the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the only victims of nuclear weapons, but they were merely the only victims during a hot war. There were many more during the cold war, from islanders who got hit by fallout from testing (plus a boat of Japanese fishermen, inspiring the Godzilla movies) to soldiers that the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. had walk onto the radioactive cloud after a test bomb went off.
It's just that in all of those cases, the people who died were those nations' own citizens or citizens of their allies.
That’s a weird headline. Guam is part of the United States. It should say they plea to Washington.
As per Wikipedia ... Territories belong to, but are not considered to be a part of, the U.S. [4] Unincorporated territories in particular are not considered to be integral parts of the U.S.,[5] and the U.S. Constitution applies only partially in those territories.
They're basically second class non-citizens who don't even get to vote in US elections. Democracy! Lol.
No taxation without representation!
So they get to live tax-free, right? Right??
It's america bro, their own kids get shot in schools on a daily basis, they don't give a crap about you...
Rock flag and eagle bro
Don't plead to our government. They don't even care about us, much less anyone else.
... their government IS our government. Guam is a US territory.
Something that I learned from a Family Guy episode years ago and forgot. Thanks!
Isnt that what everyone pledged allegiance to, cant change your mind now.

No no, they do, but only if you're rich, white, and it helps if you have a wang.
