@obligatoryusername7239
Whooa so your answer to “Why would Japan get involved if they were left alone” is “Someone else wouldn’t have left them alone”? Do you speak English?
Not to mention there are COUNTLESS ways to preserve civilian life even during mechanized war: announce the bombing beforehand, airdrop food & medicine, leave hospitals & schools alone etc. Countries CAN do all of this, they usually just don’t because they don’t value human life and nobody will hold them accountable anyway
It’s not that America couldn’t prevent killing kids in Japan, it’s that they didn’t WANT to. It’s time to wrap your head around this simple fact, Santa isn’t real
The instant & complete proof to this is Nagasaki, which happened days AFTER Hiroshima and once again completely by surprise: if “forcing surrender” was the goal they would’ve waited to let Japan absorb the full implications of Hiroshima over weeks; what they did instead was test out yet another (slightly different) bomb on another city to educate their scientists and spook the Russians at the same time
And I love how you threw in the whole Axis angle like that proves anything: “They HAD to kill kids in order to stop the Axis!!” Yeah ok buddy, let me know how THAT squares morally whatsoever (unless of course you don’t consider those civilians to be actual humans in the first place)
Buddy: you know your own ideology here is purely academic bullshit, you would never justify it in practice. If cops had to kill your family in a mall because “They had to take out gunmen hiding in the same building!!”, I wonder what sort of psycho excuses you would rattle off then hahaha
Long story short? Hiroshima was a warcrime and America wasn’t obligated to carry it out whatsoever, even in a “total war”. Murder is murder, and those kids died for research & politics, not wartime “necessity”. Sorry
