I can see the argument that the nuke was unnecessary, certainly the second one.

 

[Comrade Khan]

but also, war is not great

 

[CakeWalker]

everyone knows the us dropped the nuke

 

[CakeWalker]

to test it out and also show russia their hand

 

[Death By Looch]

I leave for like 4 minutes and the Canadian runs the shoutbox

 

[CakeWalker]

US loves war

 

[Comrade Khan]

They were already carper bombing tokyo though so yeah I dunno, with the Japanese refusing to surrender it was not a great scenario for anyone, i will concede that

Russia made a bigger and more powerful one so

 

[Death By Looch]

Cody made one even bigger and more powerful

 

[Alexa]

[Grimoire Lenin]

Yeah, in times of war, sometimes shit needs to be done, no matter how morally bankrupt it may be. It's why so many people in the South consider Sherman a war criminal, because he tore apart the South's entire industrial capacity in one fell swoop, while also allowing his men to burn down Atlanta.

Good thing he's hurt right now and can't drop it

well the needs part is the arguable point, but thats a moral dilemma

Good thing indeed...a whole lot of people's mom would be in harm's way

Yeah, people actually kinda forget how little power the Japanese Emperor Showa had at that time (until the nukes went off, that was when he finally had the power to put an end to the military).
