They dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan to make the Soviet Union's invasion of Hokkaido unnecessary and as a performative act to horrify the world in to subjugation.
The whole 'saved more lives than it cost' is a bad argument unless the plan was to slaughter a hundred thousand civilians on landing. Note the Nazi invasion of France cost 60,000 lives in civilian resistance...this was at the beginning of the war.
Japan would have surrendered on the first day of invasion.
The day I realized america was basically a fascist country was in a college philosophy class on ethics, we had a debate about the bombs and I was one of maybe 3 people in a class of 30 or so who thought vaporizing a quarter million civilians was actually not a good thing.
I think I was the one presenting and I had laid out all the obvious shit about this: every commission afterwards concluded that a full scale land invasion was not necessary, that Japan literally didn't have the bullets to continue fighting a land war at home, that Japan had been reaching out about a ceasefire, that even the most bloodthirsty generals thought it was completely excessive and unnecessary. And still none of these dipshits had a single counterpoint but still thought it was okay, because I guess ethics classes in the philosophy dept doesn't stand a chance against ideology.
In 9th grade, I said I didn’t support the bombs and a guy to me said, “Well of course a girl wouldn’t support it.” Also the same class where my teacher tried to insinuate 1 year old me somehow helped do 9/11.

I have to ask, what was his logic behind that?
Literally just that I was probably the only Muslim student that has ever been to that small white high school lol. He basically thought most Muslims were ‘in on it’ or ‘supported it’. If I remember right, his one sentence was: You know, if you were an adult then, you probably would have been happy about it.
Well... it’s good to know that kids have always been taught only by the most educated amongst us :/
