The use of nuclear weapons on Japan in World War II resulted in immediate and devastating loss of life, with over 100,000 casualties in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, many of whom suffered long-term health effects from radiation exposure. Additionally, the bombings hastened Japan's surrender, effectively ending the war but also ushering in a new era of nuclear arms race and global tensions during the Cold War. The moral and ethical implications of using such weapons continue to spark debate to this day, influencing international relations and nuclear policy.

Why are nuclear weapons a good thing?

Nuclear weapons are a good thing for the United States because they prevent others from using nuclear weapons on the US. In general, the world would probably be a better place without nuclear weapons if it weren't for the fact that they lead to research in all fields of Nuclear Engineering, like Nuclear Power plants and Nuclear Physics. Since nuclear weapons already exist in the world, for the US to get rid of their nuclear weapons would be unwise. Countries that dislike nuclear weapons or even radical terrorist cells and organizations would now have no reason not to launch a nuclear warhead at the US since no retaliation would occur. The strategy of nuclear weapons preventing others from using them against the US is called the Deterrent Strategy.
