At the time dropping of bombs Germany was already capitulate, and Japan was at the end of his strength. Bombs were such violent demonstration of power to the rest of the world, directed to Russia and other possible enemies after war.
Bombs were not necessary for the ending of war, and targets were civilians!
Exactly. Had the Americans restrained from obliterating the two cities with nukes, then perhaps the world would have never seen the nuclear arms race, which occurred during the mid 20th century.
Extremely unlikely. You may as well argue that guns wouldn't be so widespread had the first guy to use a gun hadn't done so. Eventually someone else would've figured it out and used it to their advantage, setting the whole thing in motion: since nobody wants to be at a disadvantage, they must adopt the technology; only thing stopping it before was: nobody knew it even existed for one, or how it was possible for two once knowledge of its existence is there.
Surely had the Chinese not used that first gun in the 11th century...I hope that someday either Russia or China will give the Americans a taste of their own medicine.
You can fuck right off, I haven't a single relationship between any of these things, not with nuking Japan and not with the Rongelap genocide. What makes you any better than the men who chose to do these things?--both you and them hoped for the needless deaths of innocents. Meanwhile I want nothing but peace and prosperity for us all. If there were far more people like me and far less people like you, the world would be just peachy. Let that sink in.
