Was it justified?

Of course, the point of war is to kill your enemies.

Why do people still debate rather it was wrong or not to kill people who thought it was heroic to fill buildings full of Chinese people and burn them down?

But if you kill them, they win

No.

There never should have been a war.

FDR was well aware that Japan was going to attack. He let them just so congress would declare war on the Axis.

There should never be any wars at all 2bh

...is it not?

Truth.

No, two wasn't enough.

It was more to prove that we would use nukes when it was prudent then it was about ending the war clean.

that's pretty deep bro

Someone post le spooky man.

Thanks bro, nice trips btw

I used to believe that when I was like 15.

You're one of those guys who think America won in Vietnam, aren't you?

Yes. Not because the Americans think so, but because the Japanese were stupid enough not to sink any U.S. carriers at Pearl Harbour.

They tried to create a false flag before Pearl Harbor but it wasn't effective. Not to say that Pearl Harbor was itself a false flag but they really wanted to join the war to neutralise the other powers and were looking for a justification.

not much justified as it was necessary

assload of reasons why America nuked them (it's war, they didn't want to fight suicidal madmen, commie Russia wanted a piece of that, they were rapist and genocidal murderers, etc.)

while the only argument against it is that "nukes are bad" which was something found after the fact.

Yes. Japanese would have died slower and more men on both sides would have died, not to mention prolonged the prison camps.

Killed millions to save billions etc.

Why not both.
Truman was an artillery officer who cared for his men deeply, so any option that lessened the chance of American deaths would have been chosen.

Maybe it would be prudent to ask what was so great about the alternatives.

ok you fucking retard, how are you supposed to take the resources then

Truthfully they were dying a slow death by starvation already.

If you don't think America was justified in using nuclear weapons on Japan, you might be one of those people who are mentally challenged.

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

He was baiting Germany, not Japan. That said they knew a war would be inevitable with Japan, one day.

people who shit on the atom bomb tend to forget how horrible it is to be firebombed for a week straight. I'd much rather go oit with a nuking desu

I recently read that the US literally bombed Japan to scare Russia, that they didn't care to kill and destroy as long as Russia got the message not to mess with them.

nothing wrong with that pussy

More justified than the continuous firebombings of every other Japanese city, at least.

This. Nukes are pretty clean compared to that campaign of barbarism.

Yes

The emperor was ready to surrender. The army was not until the nukes. Fighting still continued in Manchuria for weeks after the surrender.

germany capitulated, what else are you going to do with the bomb?
