Defend this man's decision to bomb hundreds of thousands of civilians.

end a war with TWO giant atomic bombs to ensure that people will be too horrified to ever actually use nuclear weapons
bigger question; will our nukes even work if we need them?
>>1232376
The US was already engaging in a prolonged bombing run of the japanese islands. he just cut it down from a couple of weeks to one week.
>>1232396
Yes because they don't only shoot from silos. Subs, Naval ships, and planes all can shoot them
total war
there, end of story
>>1232376
>total war
>valid military targets
>lesser of two evils
Done.
>>1232376
Nigger, please.
They already dropped TONS of incendiary bombs on the Japs, and Germans.
Two nukes is far more forgiving, and it ended that shit.
>>1232376
US or them. Duh! It was a no brainer.
Japan barely avoided mass starvation in the immediate postwar period historically - and that was with the war ending in August and allied food shipments. The humanitarian catastrophe of a continued blockade would've dwarfed the atomic bomb.
>>1232376
People conscripted into a militia and given weaponry, and training aren't civilians
because the Japanese government was so incredibly incompetent that America had to invent a new branch of physics to make them get their shit together

also, the people who had bought into the Imperial Japanese Military ethos would never have surrendered.
They were also kinda messed up like Mishima
>>1232376
Japs aren't people
>>1232376 nuclear weapons don't kill people. People kill people.
>>1232376
The gooks didn't want to end the war when it was rational to do so. So we went with threactrics.
>>1232445
>a bunch of teenage conscripts with literal sticks would have killed more people than the most horrible weapon ever used
Nips were going full subhuman on the Asian continent. That embargo before the war didn't spring up out of nowhere just because.

Freedom, America, Jesus, Capitalism.
it's so easy to spot the burgerpost. whitewashing the warcrimes the us did since their existence. and you wonder why people don't like you *clap clap*

What a coherent argument. Showing off that European """""""education""""""" i see.
It saved upwards of millions of lives, both american and Japanese, and was a military option that had extremly low risk/reward ratio for the americans, ending the war without risking more then a planes crew

it's so easy to spot the krautpost. blackwashing others legitimate military actions to make up for their own warcrimes. and you wonder why people don't like you *clap clap*
