The atomic bomb is the last image is the reason we havenโt had a world war in 70 years. It has saved more lives that it took. Itโs the reason you sleep safe in your bed at nights. It was essential in ending the war against the Axis. You guys need to be grateful.
Napalming kids though, harder to defendโฆ.
The US only dropped the A-Bombs on Japan because they didn't want the Soviets to gain even more post-war leverage, they killed civilians in the many tens of thousands just for political leverage.
Ok, I assumed it was in retaliation for Pearl harbour?
No. The firebombings of Tokyo more than made up for that.
You mean the military target? As opposed to the civilian targets of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
