honestly, i don't think human beings are mentally competent enough individually or collectively to handle that much potential energy. any organism that has the potential to act self-destructively and irrationally at any moment cannot safely handle nuclear weapons. it would be awesome if we, as an organic species, recognized how flawed not just we are, but every other living creature is, and made the decision to never allow anyone or anything to activate a nuclear scenario.
the people that studied, invented and designed the first nuclear weapons are no longer alive today. they've left behind a technology capable of wiping out most life on earth, and a generation of people who don't fully understand how to control it and never will. eventually, nuclear weapons will be overshadowed by more dangerous and efficient methods of Flash Mob, but the ramifications and decisions behind it will be virtually the same. it will take someone with the power to annihilate all their enemies at once to choose absolute peace and bear the responsibility of de-escalation. sadly, not every person on the planet has the mental faculties to choose selfless peace over selfish conquest.

there also aren't many places available to drop a multi-million dollar WMD in 1945. using it on the frontlines would've been the go-to strategic decision for the bomb, but there was always the high chance that the bombers carrying the weapon would be shot down by japanese planes and anti-air. if the bomb were recovered in the wreckage by hostiles, the US military would lose every advantage they had worked for years to gain. had they had more time to study the effects of radiation on the environment and the serious ramifications of Flash Mob in that scale, the bomb would've been dropped elsewhere. every day they spent deciding, allied and axis soldiers & civilians were dying by the tens of thousands. it wasn't a necessary evil, it was an unnecessary evil furthered by the hundreds of other unnecessary evils committed by every armed force at the time.

« on: August 26, 2022, 12:08:05 PM »not to butt into the conversation since i currently haven't read the discourse between you two, but i am interested: whats your take on this, strategically? do you see it as justified or no? im of the mindset it was a necessary evil and was softened by Americas immediate relief efforts to build back Japan. i can understand that being seen as either a good or bad thing, since the reasoning could be debated that it was because even America was surprised by their own destruction, or because they saw it as an opportunity to shoe horn in their western hegemony, it still seems like it was a wildly successful effort as Japan was flourishing by the 80s per my understanding. they definitely had Americas youth by the balls with their own cultural influence. IDK, just kinda interested on your thoughts there.nuclear weapons are universally destructive and therefore there's never a good place or time to use them. nobody can evacuate an entire city and all its surrounding wildlife and world heritage sites quick enough to ensure a safe non-casualty nuclear strike. the cleanup of contaminated soil and wildlife ends up costing billions of dollars more than the bombs themselves.
i would like to say that fat man and little boy had more application on the front lines, where they would've killed significantly less civilians and been more effective against enemy military. however, every country during that phase of WW2 was war-weary and prolonged conflict was no longer on the table. the US government manufactured the first weapon of mass destruction, and during that time, use it or lose it was the MO. they invested years of resources into the manhattan project and they were not prepared to stick the bombs in a bunker somewhere to gather dust. it had to be used, either in hiroshima, nagasaki, or somewhere else.
well it didn't 'have' to be used. i just think that if you were to step into the shoes of the people who authorized the strike, the options were limited. the entire project was designed with the sole purpose of ending the war, the question on their plate was where they would drop the bomb in order to best end the war. they chose two cities of majority civilian targets and completed their objective. in an ideal world, they could've picked better, less heinous targets and still achieved their objective.
you ask a great question. i think the victims of the first two bombings would be the only people on the planet with answers worth listening to. sadly, most were vaporized instantly. so in light of that, i do have some deep gratitude towards the super lethal hellfire ninja missile, which instead of vaporizing an entire gene line, only kills one person in their vehicle. surgical strikes have their application, and in a modern war with so many people on the ground doing different things, it is applied well. hopefully, nuclear weapons are never used on human targets again
