No, but US had a nuke and was itching to nuke something. Btw, the attack on Pearl Harbor was a direct result of US economic sanctions on Japan. Arguably they were done to provoke Japan into attacking us. Seems familiar?

The US had a chance to try out the effectiveness of nukes on living human beings and they took it!

Yes. Japanese people were fiercely nationalistic and would rather die than surrender. We could have firebombed them for 10 years and they wouldn't have surrendered. The nuclear bomb brought a quicker end to a war which could have been drawn out for years

They were firebombings, part of the massive Allied firebombing campaign, but used a new fuel/air bomb. Nukes are fake and gay.

So japs dying radiation poisoning is fake and gay?

I can see a fuel/air bomb making 100k people die after the initial blast.

Nonsense. The wily Nips rebuilt both cities immediately, they are populated today. No radiation. All jew lies.

I don't know. Both bombs where really small yields 15mt and 21mt with one use a plutonium core and the other was a uranium core. Both had different triggering mechanisms and if the Japs thought we had more than two I'd say dropping then was necessary. We know bombs where dropped because the radiological isotopes were discovered all over the globe. So I don't think nukes are fake or gay.

It wasn't the bombs that forced the Japanese to end the war. They needed their troops to go home fast because the Russian army was coming from the north (the Kuril islands are Russian until today and the reason why there is still no peace treaty between Russia and Japan).
