Yeah this is one of those topics where you kinda just have to let it go. If someone wants to say “yeah those fuckin fascists deserved it!” it’s just an argument born of emotion overpowering logic, which is a problem when analyzing events in the present and future, but not really a big deal when analyzing the past. People can be vindictive and irrational regarding shit that already happened, I don’t care. As long as nobody’s advocating for dropping any nukes today we’re good.
(Seriously though dropping the nukes was one of the most horrific crimes ever committed)
The main issue with the U.S. nuking Japan is that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were rather pointless cities to get nuked. I’d be more okay if they nuked Tokyo to actually punish the Japanese imperialists living there, or firebombed the Japanese imperialists’ vacation homes in the Japanese countryside.
Also, if China could glass the entirety of the United States and ensure the victory of global socialism, they should do it.

Nuking any city was pointless. Japan was no longer capable of waging war in any meaningful capacity.
And the US knew it. They already knew Japan was starting surrender negotiations
