Why is this special? The Japanese killed ~7 million Chinese, 0.5 to 1 million Filipinos, 500k in Korea, you can keep adding them up. Then Japan loses 0.2% of all their atrocities and it's the worst thing ever? No, it's not the worst thing ever, not even close. Sure, we'd all like it to never happen again. But if I had to pick one thing not happening again I'd pick saving all others that died in WW2 over this one incident.

There's also the argument that it saved more lives than the deaths it caused. The same can not be said for Japan's atrocities.
- Deanoumean 1y agoThe reason this is special is because no one else used a nuclear bomb, before this event or after. That's basically the definition of "special" and the number of Chinese that the Japanese killed has nothing to do with it. Picking anything other than the nuclear bomb to never happen again is moronic because the planet can survive the other things, but if nukes were to start flying again, it would most likely not end with just two. Other countries have those weapons now too and such a war has the potential to be last one ever fought.
- sidcool 1y agoNow do Iraq numbers and self reflect.
- socalgal2 1y agowhat does this have to do with anything? All such deaths are bad. My point is A-Bomb deaths are not worse than non A-Bomb deaths.
