    It’s not really propaganda, the Japanese lost their navy and air force. They were basically prepping for Armageddon and they got it, just not how they planned… with fewer US service men dying.

    It’s sad but they FAFO.

      This is a breakdown with the timeline of events showing that it probably wasn’t necessary and didn’t save more lives. You yourself just said they lost their military forces so how were they a threat? Japanese surrender was inevitable, nuclear force on civilian targets is never justifiable.

      We killed cities full of children so our soldiers wouldn’t have to fight their soldiers. Why didn’t anyone think of that before? Kill the women and children. It’s easier, they don’t fight back, and if you kill enough of them, their soldiers will surrender just to stop the slaughter. Brilliant!
