Are the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings justified?
IMHO, yes.Look, Imperial Japan wasn’t some innocent victim suddenly ruthlessly assaulted by the aggressive US. In fact she was probably the most direct opposite of an innocent country you could find on planet Earth at the time. For over a decade she had raped, pillaged, destroyed, invaded and brutally experimented on and killed over 30 million Asians to seize its ill-gotten empire, without a single hint of remorse or regret.When the US dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, four hundred Chinese, a hundred and fifty Japanese, one hundred other Asians, eight Americans and one British was being killed EVERY HOUR fighting the war. And reports still showed that the Japanese populace was still hungry and eager to continue the war, by conservative estimates, over 20 million civilians had been armed with the most rudimentary weapons, including bamboo spears and awls. (those things you pierce cow hide with) The LOWEST estimates showed 500,000 Americans, 3 million Japanese soldiers and 8 million Japanese civilians dying in X-Day, the invasion of Japan.To save the world, Japan included, the bomb had to be dropped.
