[QUOTE="IMMImedia, post: 1495179, member: 22743"] No insanity at all. I see it as pride, hatred and revenge. And show of strength as a future warning to USSR. If it had not been used in real life, the threat of it would not be credible. Americans hated the japanese for Pearl Harbour, so the total destruction and terror of the dropped nukes was political tactic to play on the citizens emotions I think. Otherwise it was just pure cruelty by the US president. None of the presidents at that time was illogical. Logic said that Japan was defeated and would surrender. They really wanted to use it, and if they had let Japan surrender, they would not be able to test it. Could not use it on Germany with allied neigbours. Did not want a war with USSR. And perhaps a secret threat to USSR telling them to stop moving into Germany, hidden dimplomacy that we are unawere of. After all, they had a race to Berlin to steal tech and scientists. Which ended up as the race to get to the moon, and conquer space.I just assume the president at the time was awere and had planned out everything that happened 10 years after he stepped down. Hard to believe that stateleaders with supposed high IQs, should act out so much incompetence, especially in war. I do not believe in mishaps, when you have been at war for 75 years. Then you have mastered it, and every operation is done perfect, with intent.. [/QUOTE]
