Was talking to a friend of mine about the use of nukes and I was told about how it was the quicker way to save more lives. I’ve always heard this argument but still always believed that it was an extreme response that could have been avoided.
Am I naive in my thoughts here? What is everyone else’s interpretation of the events leading up to and the decision made to drop both bombs?
Pretty sure the actual reality of the situation was that they didn’t built the bombs to not use them. If they hadn’t dropped them on japan they would have found some other target later.
