Well yes, but when you spend 2 billion Dollars you are going to want to use that weapon correct? That is what I meant by "test" Granted, the japanese wanted to negotiate, and where doing so through Russia, and Swizerland, and Truman gave the order to drop the bomb before news of japan's impending surrender reached him....phongn wrote:Indeed they did. They rolled over much the Wehrmacht and started crushing the Imperial Japanese Army in Manchuria.Alyrium Denryle wrote:Actually...It could be argued that Russia did help to end WW2.
Negotiations, yes, but those unacceptable to the Allies, which demanded unconditional surrender. This had been broadcast to the Japanese government earlier.Or rather made us do it before Japan even surrendered. hell Japan had entered into surrendur negotiations bofore we droped the nuke on Hiroshima.
Our weapon had already been tested. Trinity, anyone? As for vengeance, no (we already flattened many cities and killed hundreds of thousands, over time, wasn't that enough?). It was intended as a shock weapon to force the Japanese to the table.We dropped it, to keep Russia from being a party in the surrender, and to test our new weapon and give the civilians the vengence they wanted.

Misguided obscenity laws prevent me from posting actual lesbian anal sex (and I'm not much into anal, so there isn't any that I'm aware of in my collection, anyway). However, these are perfectly legal, and more interesting than this flame war (in which I've been a participant, unfortunately) has become.

No. We spent even more on Teller's fun little enhancement of Oppenheimer's toy, but it's not as if we actually wanted to use it. What, do you seriously think that Truman wanted to kill nearly 200000 persons just to "test" his weapon?Alyrium Denryle wrote:Well yes, but when you spend 2 billion Dollars you are going to want to use that weapon correct?
In letters he lamented the necessity of using it, he wasn't exactly a huge fan of "wiping out entire populations."
Truman knew about the conditional surrender terms. They were deemed unacceptable to the Allied leaders.Granted, the japanese wanted to negotiate, and where doing so through Russia, and Swizerland, and Truman gave the order to drop the bomb before news of japan's impending surrender reached him....
