Most people here are Americans; do you think the US was right to drop atomic bombs on Japan

or are you sound and human enough to realize that your country did a horrible, horrible thing??
*cue white guilt
Americans were not happy when it was used. It taken a generation to normalize it.
Am I proud? No... I don’t think anyone feels proud of war and death of innocent people.

Bombs weren't necessary. Japan already surrendered. That was just a display of look how powerful we are. Japan never wanted war with USA anyway. Only reason they attacked is because USA was cutting them off in trading and resources. USA had their hands on Japan's throat, knowing full well they were provoking the Japanese to hit back. Bombing Pearl Harbor was a defensive attack.
You can argue we're nuke hungry, fine. But given we've just gotten out of a war with Germany. And if I remember right, Japan was teaching their citizens to be suicide soldiers. We've already had suicide bombers to deal with. So my view in this is that we can deal with millions of Japanese dead, or thousands of Americans dead, your choice in that we're already war exhausted at this point.
I don't like the decision made either, but war makes the worst of everyone.

an invasion of mainland japan would have caused a lot more casualties so yeah it was the right decision
We could also talk about things Japan did to China before the bomb even dropped. Or the fucked up stuff people did to other people in general. There is literally a never ending list of why all humans can and have been terrible.
Fuggem. And cheerz 'murica for saving our bacon from those lunatics.
And cheerz post war Japan for good consoles and capacitors.

Also most Americans nowadays worship Japanese culture and technology to a point its cringy. What more do you want?

And what about Perl Harbor? Is there Japanese Dxp so you can be fair and ask them...click to expand
Posted by BoredToDeathI guess the whole point of the bombings, as already mentioned here, was to show the world and especially Stalin, who they were going to deal with. Nobody knew for sure how much damage a single A-bomb could do to a city so the only way to find out was to drop one. The 2nd one was dropped just 3 days later so I guess it really was a demonstration of power.
But the US could've showed Japan how powerful the atomic bombs were by still detonating them, just not directly in population centers. Would that have been enough to push Japan to surrender, who knows.
by that point japan was already on the brink of capitulation, most of their army had already retreated and most of their fleet destroyed. Japanese cities were being firebombed daily.
The US just wanted to start a reign of terror but the glorious soviet union was ressourceful enough to make their own nuclear arsenal in a very short time and free the world from terror.

No, I'm Indian and I've heard a lot about Pearl Harbor and would love if someone could educate me more on it.
Posted by KimboSliceI heard he didn’t even give a go ahead for the second one. And he was being advised to do the deed in the first place.

The argument about using the bombs that I’ve heard is that Japan just wasn’t planning to give up after the rest of the Axis surrendered. And America and the Allies were exhausted and weren’t about to play games. So the bombs were a last killer blow to make Japan snap out of WWII.
All is fair in love and war. As you get older you know what this means. What’s a “crime” in a war that sheds human blood and causes mass chaos? Having war laws seems like a nice idea... but wars are essentially the result of a complete failure of diplomacy and law. So.
