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?
I’m sorry If i missed some context, but can you provide the source of these quotes? Some of them are quite damning counterpoints to the long held story that keeps getting regurgitated to me whenever i question the necessity of nukes.
I have not chased them down. I have tried to contact this author once or twice with no response, or I would ask them
