I'm inclined to disagree, but will watch with open mind.

Yes. It seems that without a doubt, not using the bomb would at least cause the conflict to last longer.

They would have never surrendered. Millions more would have died. Read about it. Citizens were ready to defend the island.

It is better that we used very weak nuclear bombs then, than the far more powerful ones that came later.

Anytime an action is beneficial to communism it was prob the wrong this to do. McCarthy was RIGHT! Wake up and see the reds.

No sympathy for the Japanese after what they did during WW2, from the UK viewpoint at least Japan got what it deserved

No one wants to accept that Japan tried to surrender. Many times.
-
conditionally though? Not really a surrender, but a negotiation.

They wanted to keep their emperor. After being nuked, then surrendering, they got to keep their emperor.

So a win/win?

my father lived in Kure. He was almost killed by the Bomb. HE thought the bombing was necessary, to save Japan...

Sorry Stefan, but you're missing the best reason for the use of the bombs: so the world would see what they do.

That doesn't mean nuking a country that was ready to surrender was justified.
@StefanMolyneux -
I never said it was. I am simply stating that history played out in a better way than it might have.

They did start the war, and hindsight is 20/20. So any post mortem will include at least some Monday morning quarterbacking

The problem with that is their offer of surrender before being nuked.
@StefanMolyneux -
I'm not an expert, haven't yet watched Stefan's video; I don't know their conditions. My points are simple.
