Excellent discussion! The depth of knowledge these men possess and shared about one of most mementous events in human history is incredible. Thank you.
I have a different view of Japan's surrender The minute Japan surrendered to the americans, the atomic bomb became a protective umbrella over Japan against russian occupation. The russians do not allow emperors to keep their crown, or heads.
Everybody knew how to make a uranium bomb, the problem was how time consume enriching uranium was. That is partly why the Japanese didn't surrender after the Hiroshima bomb, that was not unexpected. The Nagasaki bomb was something they didn't expect.
Some folks moan over the atomic bomb. How about firebombing of Tokyo, Dresden and others. Not much whining about those. How many millions were saved by the using the bomb? Many. Especially Japanese. My father for one.
What did you father think in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis, when the atomic bomb which he was sure had saved his life in 1945, now looked to be ready to take not only his life, but his family, his community, his country, and his civilization?
@@leoamery wow, can’t you play the what if game with about 1000 different instances since 1945. Russia was never going to nuke us due to they knew it would be the end of Russia, and vice versa. You don’t nuke someone that has the ability to nuke u back. It’s pointless
