Though I agree with your points guys I find it totally ironic that you always hear how bad atomic bombs are and how devastating they are, that they shall never be used again and more. But the only ones who used them in actual combat where the USA.
Talk about a bad parent
Entirely irrelevant, given that a) the people who ordered/dropped the atomic bombs are now dead and b) the situation is now different in that multiple countries have atomic weapons.
Yeh, now that people have the chance to use them against America they shouldn't be abused at all.
Nice straw man. I was simply giving two separate reasons for why what modern-day America is doing isn't hypocritical. If you think "now that people have the chance to use them against America they shouldn't be abused at all", that's your own thought, I never said or implied that.
It has nothing to do with Americans being special. It has nothing specifically tied to America, period. The simple truth is, when Japan was atom-bombed, multiple countries did not have nuclear weapons. Therefore, atom bombs could be used to end a war, saving many lives.
Nowadays, given that so many countries have nuclear weapons, opening the "nuclear gate" would mean more people, not less, die. So it's entirely reasonable for America to have dropped those bombs on Japan and today insist nobody repeats that action.
What if we were in this scenario?
America was at war with the middle east, America has pretty much lost at this point but they won't surrender, it should be OK to drop nuclear bombs on at least 10 of your cities in order to get you to surrender.
If you say no you are a hypocrite.
