I’m not saying that the bombings were right in any way, but you can’t say that there wasn’t justification. The justification was not having to invade the Japanese Home Islands

This was never a risk. The Japanese knew they couldn't win and there was already discussion about the terms of the war's end. Dropping the nukes was literally just, "Hey soviets, look. We can delete cities. Don't fuck with us" dick waving bullshit
