yanamaster said: The decision to use the A-bombs was the best possible. the other option was prolonging the war in the pacific by another 6 months or one year. Seeing how the code of honor and nationalistic approach was evident in Japan, it would have been a bloodbath should they have continued to fight, right down to the last man standing. Of course i will never support the usage of WMD's but at that very time...best possible choice. |
Japan had lost its entire fleet, it was done, it had maybe weeks to go before it had to give up.
The nukes were used as a demonstration to russia.
