That is the wrong question. Saving millions of lives to thrust billions into the era of the atom bomb. Now don't you tell me that Russia would have done it anyway because of course but then we could blame Russia for it.
We don't counter and say well someone would have come up with Bohr Model if Bohr wasn't born so why do we insist that Russia would have used the first atom bomb if we had not?
- valuearb 9y agoHmm, the question was never who thrust us into the atomic age, it was whether you'd allow millions of people to die (mostly Japanese) in order not to use the bomb?
- thanksgiving 9y agoThat question is scary because it leaves the option of us using a nuke again in the future on civilians. The answer is no. I would never use strategic nukes on civilian population centers.
