I'm gonna go on record here and state that even if the only reason we dropped the bombs was to intimidate the Soviets, it was more than justified. The Soviet Union post WWII was a much bigger potential threat to the world than Hitler ever was. Someone had to keep them in check, and the rest of the world should be damn grateful that we stepped up to the plate.
This assumes that the Soviet Union was bent on global domination, which is more farce than fact in reality.
They were after SOMETHING that justified losing 27 million people. And they were run by people with rather loose morals and a willingness to do what needed to be done no matter the cost. Thats always been Russia. And if you want to say that, I'll let you.
The bombings are only justified if you think that end is worth unleashing the nuke on a defeated nation. I just will think you are extraordinarily callous and value the benefits of the group over thhe freedom of the individual to live.
A communist, to use SmartMuffin parlance.
Call me whatever you want, I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it.
