The atomic bombings did not save lives. They didn’t end the war. The Japanese leadership didn’t even respond to them. We had already so thoroughly brutalized Japan at that point that the loss of two medium sized cities was a drop in the bucket. We annihilated over 30 Japanese cities before we dropped the bombs. The real reason we dropped them was to demonstrate to the Soviets that we had them. The Japanese surrendered because the Soviets were also about to launch an invasion and the Japanese Empire knew they’d get better terms negotiating with us.

Isn’t this just reverse saying trans men can’t wear skirts? Is it not the exact same thing?

What.

For real though, the Japanese had been TRYING to surrender since that January. The terms they offered were basically the same as the terms we accepted, so it’s not like they weren’t trying hard enough. 100% mass murder to prove to the Soviets we were willing to use it.
