Or if you mean the US nuke thing...

The logical fallacy in that was... the US had Nuclear weapons first.

No one else was in the same position in as the US to use them... because after they got them... the US already had them.

All it takes to make that argument look stupid is context.  Would Iran of used Nukes in the same context?   Sure.  Hell they'd of probably nuked Russia too when they had the chance like Patton wanted.

It looks even stupider if you know much about WW2 and studied Japan's actual reaction. Which historical experts pretty much agree was either "Nuclear weapons caused them to surrender only after the second bomb" or "Nuclear weapons didn't make them surrender, it was actually the threat of Russian invasion."


So yeah... not very well thought out.
