    Are you saying that using nukes against civilian populations was equivalent to conventional bombing because of “the damage”? What point are you trying to make here?

      The point is that Nagasaki and Hiroshima weren’t exceptional, but rather typical of US bombing strategies against civilian populations that the US has continued to use into the modern day.

        I would say that by the very nature of it being nukes it was exceptional. Like, the very definition of exceptional. Yes, the USA often bombs instead of negotiating, that is not exceptional.
