They were not even convinced it was nuclear and were going to fight till every last man. It was their written policy and doctrine. It wasn't until Nagasaki that the Emperor had to step in and agree to a total surrender.

      That's an interesting question.
      The general theory is that because the bomb exploded high in the air, more nuclear contaminants were dispersed into the atmosphere. Another cause is water being washed away by rain or the ground being filled in.
      On the other hand, the soil at Chernobyl and Fukushima contains a lot of nuclear contaminants. That's because they exploded on the ground.

      Same. I'd consider myself luckiest in such a setting, when i'm caught in ground zero, as even being hundreds of kilometers away, free from whatever shit such an explosion would bring, there's still the fallout, radioactively, socially & politically, to deal with for years, if not decades, to come. Just about the entire world would be turned into a shithole within years, with the constant threat of yet another such explosion happening anywhere, anytime.

      Yeah, with ICBMs and SLBMs, things are even more scary, range is irrelevent as they can hit you 8,000-km away, and each carries 4 - 12 bombs with yeilds from 50 - 475-kt or higher, meaning each ICBM or SLBM can destroy multiple city sized targets each, and hundreds of them can be launched at a time.

      Jesus taught that the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is seminal ejaculation! The super elite that run this world are hybrid demons that look human but need sperm to survive! They created Hollywood and Porn and many other pawns to achieve this evil. Seminal ejaculation is why G-d sent the flood to destroy the people in Noah’s day. And now G-d will send Fire to destroy the USA and the world. The USA is the 2nd beast from revelations. The 7 churches are the bodies 7 chakras. Jesus taught these things including reincarnation and karma but the Pope with the Catholic Church rewrote and perverted. Remember to have a true relationship with G-d is to not ever ejaculate the sperm for it creates and draws demons to men! The point of sex is not ejaculation for it is the sin that got Adam cast out of eden. The point is to do work of Abraham to escape this cycle of reincarnation and the evil one Yaldabaoth who in Greek is Cronos. All religions come from Christ for Abraham Buddha Vishnu Thoth Hermes would tell you this. Please read the pistis Sophia. Gnostic teachings online. Gnostic gospels. The perfect Matrimony and the book of revelations.

I mean don't get me wrong having technologies that will keep our enemies at bay is nice, but when you notice that is just a veiled threat of safety due to "mutually assured destruction" but really millions will die just by one bomb being launched. Cascade effect. I know I am going on a tyrade, but if we could just focus our scientific knowledge on improving how to better our lives, not destroy them, then I'll be very happy.

      US is never going to attack Russia with nukes because it would mean they are both going to get destroyed.
      Also people that are just batshit crazy aren't going to care about any agreement, they will build their own nuke if they want and then be the only ones with the nuke.

      You'll be injured, likely severely, if you survived at all. There's no help coming, not for days or maybe even weeks. It's just a matter of what claims you first, at that point: your wounds, or the radiation.
      Honestly, if a nuclear weapon hits a city you live in or near, you'd have been better off just dying in an instant inside the fireball. At least that will be so quick your brain won't even know it's coming. I'd say it's better than suffering and dying years later from the after effects.

    In pretty much all atomic bomb videos, I see people who say the Japanese deserved it. My retort is that there’s a difference between individuals (eg Japanese civilians, military personnel, government officials etc) and a collective (eg the Japanese people, the nation of Japan etc).
    Most Japanese civilians either just minded their own business or at most supported the war efforts within their own country like civilians in other countries that engaged in the war did during a time when information was not as freely accessible as in uncensored areas today. Mostly only some government officials and military personnel decided on and carried out the attack on Pearl Harbor and other atrocities during WW2.
    Since the majority of the blame should be on some of the government officials and military personnel, it would generally be unfair to say the Japanese civilians or civilians of any country deserved being nuclear bombed or have other atrocities committed against them.
    For the purpose of these types of discussions, it is overly simplistic and sometimes even hateful to just group the individuals into collectives like the Japanese, the Americans etc.

      The entrance to the Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima clearly states the historical fact that the Japanese military invaded China and other countries. In other words, Japan is not unconcerned about its own crimes.
