    The US would not have stopped without total surrender. That would not have come without massive loss of life. Whether or not more died to the bomb is a moot question. The better question is how many would have survived without it and would it have been classified as a genocide afterward.

    There was no distinction between civilian and soldier on the eastern front after Iwo Jima and Okinawa, the civilians fought as combatants.

    The Japanese still exist due to the bomb and the Emperor.

      neither of these statements can be proven.

      nuking two cities is genocide, and it isn’t a favor to the survivors.
