In dropping nuclear weapons on Nagasaki just three days after having bombed Hiroshima, the US knew exactly what would be the level of destruction and the extent of the humanitarian disaster. Less than a second after the detonation, the northern end of the city was destroyed and 35,000 people had died. Some might propose a political and military justification for Hiroshima, but why Nagasaki? Why a second nuclear bomb three days later? We could also question why Japanese-American citizens were put in US concentration camps during the war, in their own country, by their own government? The only real explanation that makes sense is that the US wanted to be sure that the Japanese would forever be a sub-culture to the White-West.
