You know that if they had nukes and we had none, they would share them with us. How can we be less forthcoming?
Anyway, this thread is really regarding the advent of nuclear weapons. My view is it couldn't have happened in a better way or at a better time, or with a better country. Had the Germans or Japanese had them first, they would have conquered the world, nuking and sparing not. Hitler and Hirohito, their troops covering the world behind a rain of nuclear bombs. Had the US or Brits come up with them while still at war with Germany we would have used them as we did in Japan later, to save the lives of our soldiers and force a surrender. Imagine the horror of nukes going off in Germany, or Italy for that matter. It would have been as bad as Japan. That said, innocent guys who hit the beaches and died in France would have had full lives. Sixty thousand US and British soldiers died in the first 20 days...
Sixty thousand lives in 20 days...and that was just the beginning.
We would have used the nukes to save those lives and the lives of all the boys lost in the battle to overthrow Hitler. Question though, would Hitler have surrendered like Hirohito did if the allies started nuking German cities trying to force such a surrender? No, not with the death camps scattering the landscape, not a suicidal Hitler. The nukes would have been falling for much longer than in the case of Japan unless we managed to get Hitler directly with one of them. Germany would have been a nuclear wasteland.
No, we lost alot of boys in those days and as horrific as that must have been I'm very glad that the Germans of today don't carry nuclear scars.
For the same reason I'm glad the Soviets didn't come up with them. They would have started with Germany and then spread their sick revolution to the whole world on the back of the atom.
The US got the bomb and used it on two Japanese cities to prevent an invasion that would have been much more deadly to both sides. Then, after that, we didn't use them again. Because the US got the bomb first you don't have the flag of a conquerer flying over your devastated land.
