What I want people to understand about Hiroshima is that even if it were true the bomb ended the war (it's not) and even if it were true the bomb prevented a costly invasion of Japan (it didn't) it doesn't MATTER. It doesn't make dropping the bomb less of a crime against humanity

There were tribunals set up to judge Japanese perpetrators in the US and the USSR. Tell me about the tribunals American leaders had to face

I grew up with the discourse in my family, and the main thing about rhetoric like this is that Japanese occupation of China had already long ended by this point, with Japanese forces pushed back to the Home Islands So this is moot

It doesn't matter You can maybe make a case for committing war crimes to STOP war crimes -- if nuking Berlin would've cut the Holocaust short then hey in my opinion let the uranium fly -- but this is not that You're talking about PUNISHING war crimes with war crimes

And that, frankly, is a pretty messy road to go down morally There's a lot of people -- a LOT of people -- who'd be morally justified in nuking you and yours, if it's okay to use nukes to punish countries for their past atrocities
