    The US bombing campaign of Japan in WW2 killed many times the number of people that both atomic bombs killed. No one even talks about it.

      Yeah its wild. Thats why I included firebombs. Like imagine if the double standard didnt exist. US takes out a military installation in Iraq, they reapond by dropping two nukes on NYC and LA. Unimaginable because how does that make america save the world again like superman.

      Yeah. Without mad, nukes are just another kind of bomb. There wasn't anything uniquely evil about Hiroshima versus conventional saturation bombing
