      Yup, the mental gymnastics they use to justify war crimes. No other country has nuked a civilian population. They’ve nuked 2

          Objectively they were used to prevent the Soviets from gaining influence, and forcing Japan into an unconditional surrender, instead of conditional. They didn’t save anyone but US Imperialism.
