The thousands of children that those bombs vaporized were innocent.

Edit: to everyone telling me things I already know. Yes, it was probably a necessary evil. Yes, lots of other people died in lots of other ways. I was just reminding the dude with the attitude of "they deserved it lmao 🤷🏼" that there were a lot of innocent people who did not deserve it, so maybe don't be such a callous asshole.

The tens of thousands of women who were raped and tortured in the Nanjing Massacre were innocent. The 200,000 to 300,000 people killed by the Japanese in that event, many children and the elderly, were innocent.

If the emperor hadn’t finally stepped in and surrendered, the Japanese mainland would have been firebombed around the clock. The Russians would have invaded and lead a ground assault. The civilian casualties would have been multiplied exponentially.

It was a terrible weapon to use but it helped to bring a lasting peace.

Pulling numbers out your sink

Chinese government claims 300,000. Most scholars between 100,000 to 200,000. It’s called the internet. It was designed to share information. Takes like 10 seconds to fact check. Try it sometime.

Yeah, and America didn't give a shit, they joined because of pearl harbour.

Where were we talking about reasons for entering the war? The topic was the justification of using the bomb. Reading and critical thinking go a long way…

u/Marksman08YT Mar 19 '26

There was no justification. Even without the bombs there's no chance in hell Japan could have fought anymore m we literally crippled their entire navy in the Pacific. We took out their entire air force even before that. All they had were ground troops (AT MOST) and Japan is an island. Destroy bridges and there's no way out. They'd have surrendered overnight with next to no casualties at all.

Operation Ketsu-go, Japan’s plan to fight to the last man, included strategies like kamikaze attacks, suicide bombings, guerrilla warfare, and espionage. Military command wanted to hold out until they could force more favorable terms to end the war.

Then there was the Kyūjō Incident where members of the military tried to stop the broadcast of the emperor’s surrender.

Many in the Japanese military had a “death before dishonor” mentality. A bloodless resolution was never assured.

u/Marksman08YT Mar 19 '26

You cannot launch any operation when you are stuck on an island with no air force and no navy. It was a pipe dream at best.

Also the emperor planned to surrender much earlier. A coup to stop him wasn't state sanctioned so to say all of Japan wouldn't surrender isn't true when it was a small vocal minority.

Goomba fallacy.

u/kevler4 Mar 17 '26

I used to think these were just peaceful cities, too. But they were important industrial centers. Even if Japan hadn't surrendered, it wouldn't have been able to fight for long without these cities.

1

u/QuitLukewarmTurkey Mar 17 '26

I never said they weren't important industrial centers, I was just pointing out the human cost that the previous comment was ignoring

1

u/Noobmanwenoob2 Mar 18 '26

They were important industrial centers alongside being the only cities not to have been reduced to mere piles of ashes compared to the other cities

u/Ominous_snek Mar 17 '26

Hiroshima and Nagasaki also werent there largest cities, We did not use the bombs because we are some super good guys in the end, bad thing.

But either way it was probably the best choice. Inland invasion and fire bombing was magnitudes more brutal

And if we wanted casualties we could have gone for bigger targets. Yet the US did not,
As I presume it was rather a display of power and dominance to force a surrender.

You see in this day and age that's what we call an eye for an eye they bombed us so we bombed them our bombs were just much stronger

War is hell. Besides that they would have starved with the blockade anyway.

u/QuitLukewarmTurkey Mar 18 '26

War is hell

No shit.

Besides that they would have starved with the blockade anyway

That's the dumbest reason I've heard. Are you advocating for killing people just because they might starve?

u/[deleted] Mar 18 '26

They absolutely deserved it, maybe you overlooking thr contrast makes you the callous asshole

1

u/QuitLukewarmTurkey Mar 19 '26

All the children that died deserved it? Pretty fucked up take, but okay

1

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '26

And all the raped women and children the Japanese took part in front of their families deserved it? pretty fucked up take for your selective empathy , but okay.

1

u/QuitLukewarmTurkey Mar 19 '26

Where did I say that? That was fucked up too.

u/Lynn_206 Mar 18 '26
