Topic	Was dropping the atom bomb the correct thing to do?
EPR-radar 02/07/24 7:23:53 PM #19:	BuzzKilljoy posted... I'd say it was the right thing to do if and only if it's the main reason there hasn't been a nuclear war since then. I think there's a very good chance of that. More specifically, I think there were only two real options for how nuclear weapons would get used in war: 1) Limited use at the end of WWII. 2) Massive use at the start of WWIII. I find it completely incredible that testing alone could have scared world powers out of a belief that nukes were the way to win WWIII. --- "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
