Let's not talk about the hypothetical about Japan being on the verge of collapse and ready to surrender. Let's also not bring up the uncannily Christian nature of these targets, or even any other "conspiracy theory" relating to why the bombs dropped. Let's even grant that dropping the bombs could be seen as a legitimate strategic decision that ended up saving more lives overall. The positive decision to use nukes to kill hundreds of thousands of civilians to convince a foreign government to capitulate absolutely is definitionally evil according to any moral framework that isn't pitiless utilitarianism. You could argue that it was a necessary evil, perhaps, but this idea that it was a moral good to perform such an act is the absolute peak of hubris and I am completely unsurprised to see ol chickenhawk benji here saying it without any reservation.
Without going into my opinion on this, there is certainly more than enough debate around this subject to say that this comment is obviously not deliberate disinformation.
