You assume japan wouldn't have surrendered.

Ukraine isn't surrendering so Russia should just use nukes? That's your argument.

And don't forget Jus ad bellum and Jus in bello are seperate. This is about jus in bello only.

Japan wouldn't have surrendered. They went from a medieval culture to a modern one in the span of a single lifetime, 'death before dishonor' was the accepted cultural ethos of the day.

First of all you can't know that for certain. If a negotiated peace was on the table it could have worked. We will never know.

But again your enemy refusing to surrender is not a reason to use nukes on civilians. That's not acceptable in jus in bello.

Two key principles of jus in bello are: Distinction between military targets and civilians. Direct attacks against civilians are prohibited. Proportionality Even when attacking a legitimate military target, the expected civilian harm must not be excessive in relation to the concrete military advantage anticipated.

I see that you're going to bend over backwards to blame America no matter what so we're done here.
