you can argue the justification for the first one.
but the second one, according history (not including american taught history) is pretty black and white. UNJUSTIFIABLE.

Eh, the second one did ensure that the soviets didn't have any claim to Japan, which is a good thing

It's not our place to "own up to it"....that shit happened 70 years ago. Everyone worrying and whining about the past so damn much is one of the main reasons that we can't have peace today.

You know why America doesn't do it? Because it would be political suicide

Can you imagine just how giddy the republicans would be if a democrat president did that? Remember how they mocked obama for his "apology tour"

Unconditionally surrender or were gonna drop another bomb on you.

Doesn't surrender.

Second bomb.

Seems rather justified.

Also they warned the areas they bombed before hand. The war was started with them attacking us. The Japanese would likely have suffered more casualties both civilian and military by a conventional war.

We had already used all the bombs we had at the time.
Also, we insisted on unconditional surrender, but the Japanese wanted assurances that the Emperor would be allowed to remain. Which, of course, we ended up doing anyway, even though he was definitely complicit in Japanese war crimes. Plus, we dropped the second before they even really wrapped their heads around the first one.

The Japanese were part of the Axis bro, aka they worked with the NAZIS

According to all the righteous freedom fighters on CE as of late all Nazis and those who are on their side deserve harm.

I don't know why people say this like it'd have made a difference. If North Korea threatened to nuke LA and warned all civilians to evacuate in two days or die, would anyone take that threat seriously? The whole war was filled with propaganda so it just looks like the US blowing smoke and trying to drop Japanese morale.

Anybody that thinks even the first bomb was necessary doesn't know their history and probly shouldn't bother weighing in on the matter. Japan was already utterly defeated when we decided to drop the bombs. They were neither necessary nor justifiable tbh

Is North Korea currently firebombing other US cities with impunity in this situation

I mean, it's not like they deny it. It's well known they did, so why would they need to own up to something they already admit to doing?

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

"In all, there were 2.3 million Japanese Army troops prepared to defend the home islands, backed by a civilian militia of 28 million men and women. Casualty predictions varied widely, but were extremely high. The Vice Chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff, Vice Admiral Takijiro Onishi, predicted up to 20 million Japanese deaths."

I think the bombings were really the best case scenario given the circumstances.

They do it all the time, usually with something along the lines of 'SERVES YOU RIGHT FOR PEARL HARBOUR MURRICAH YEAH'
Oh, you mean as a country? No, it's unlikely.

It should also be mentioned that in preparation for the original ground invasion a lot (seriously, A LOT) of Purple Heart medals were made.

We still have yet to exhaust the supply of medals.
