@bojacobs @histodons I feel sure if the Hitler had completed his race to create the bomb first he would’ve only used it in a humane and life affirming way. The Japanese were practically buried in pamphlets begging them to surrender or face a catastrophic weapon. They refused to do so, they refused to even contemplate peace negotiations. 300,000 US military casualties taking the mainland be acceptable? I don’t think so. A horrible weapon, but it was inevitable.
@threenotch23 @bojacobs @histodons I'd be genuinely interested in hearing a justification for Nagasaki. I can't even imagine one.
