“Japanese surrender had appeared inevitable weeks before the bomb’s use.”

If this were true, then why didn’t the Japs surrender after one atom bomb was dropped on August 6th? Hmm? August 7th, no surrender. August 8th no surrender. Why did they not surrender, please explain.

It took a second bomb three days later to force them to surrender.

Well that great Historian Oliver Stone claimed that it was the USSR Declaration of War on Japan was what really spooked the Japanese, days after the 2nd Atomic Bomb was detonated over Japan.

“It took a second bomb three days later to force them to surrender.”

Waiting three whole days? Wow.

I’m not going to argue with you people any longer. This is a dogma ingrained in your heads that the US can do no wrong and has never done anything wrong, going so far as to justify atrocities. I used to think the same way.
