    Truman won’t be the only war criminal that used nuclear bomb. Truman, Trump, there is something about stupid arrogant Americans which name starts with Trum

      Using the bomb saved lives though. Using it twice was overkill perhaps, but a ground invasion of Japan would’ve caused so many more casualties. I would remind you previous napalming of Tokyo killed more than both the nuclear weapons.

      Their culture was fight to the death, it would’ve been magnitudes worse with a ground invasion.

        There were other options besides nukes or ground invasion. Yes napalming Tokyo was also horrific, targeting civilians is never okay.

        I think you mean using the bomb saved American lives. Because hundreds of thousands died because of said bombs. And they were overwhelmingly civilians.
