It’s not clear that this affected the decision to drop the bombs let alone the sole reasoning. Frankly, there was little justifiable strategic argument for use of them at that point in the war aside from as a form of intimidation against the Soviet Union.

Gotta blow em up make a point y’know
I feel like it’s how my gut flora aren’t responsible for my actions or anything but will suffer my choices and others’ choices involving me.
The bomb is one of the many crime against humanity US have commited and have not been punished for. Hiroshima museum is a testimony of this crime.

Ah yes, those Japanese children and citizens ordered the Bataan March. Yep, that’s how it happened
For generations.
Gotta be more inhumane than the enemy
that’s the art of war
You seriously need to read that book if that’s what you think. It’s expedient in the moment with forever repercussions.
