We're told on the west that the US dropped those bombs to limit casualties. This is untrue. It already obliterated many cities & the Japanese fought on.
The US dropped those bombs to get the Japanese to surrender before the Soviet forces invaded. The bombs weren't necessary - they were a choice that intentionally harmed civilians.
