Not only did you choose the deaths of far more people than 200,000, you also took it as an opportunity to bash America. That's all you.

[Magical Realist]

Not only did you choose the deaths of far more people than 200,000

LOL Who's deaths did I choose? Be specific now.

Ahem:

32,000 to 39,000 people died per day during World War II, so a delay of 5-7 days in ending the war would have also killed 200,000. But measures like blockades would have taken much longer than that, and a ground assault would have been much higher in both civilian and military casualties. There was no Geneva Convention in 1945, so it was not a war crime.

Learn some history America-hater.

And:

An estimated 18,000 to 22,000 civilians were killed per day by the Axis powers during World War II.

So that would stretch the 5-7 days, for all casualties, to 9-11 days to equal the same civilian deaths as Nagasaki. A blockade or a land invasion would have taken much longer than that to end the war.

And the Japanese citizens overwhelmingly supported Japan's actions in WWII:

Historical records and sociological studies, such as those detailed in the Association for Asian Studies, indicate that the vast majority of the Japanese public—likely over 90%—supported the nation's WWII actions, driven by intense nationalistic propaganda, reverence for the Emperor, and strict martial laws.

These are the factual death numbers you'd prefer over two cities being nuked. Somehow the civilians of the aggressor state are more important to you than the civilians of Europe and US solders. Classic suicidal empathy.

[Magical Realist]

These are the factual death numbers

No they aren't because they aren't factual deaths. They're just hypotheticals used to excuse the actual murders of 200,000 innocent civilians, which is a war crime. There's no justification for genocide--ever.

[Syne]

No, those are the actual civilian deaths per day in WWII. If you have some theory on why that death rate would suddenly change, without the war ending so abruptly, THAT would be the hypothetical.

Again, two cities is not genocide. And you keep ignoring that fact too.

[Magical Realist]

No, those are the actual civilian deaths per day in WWII.

Nope..all hypotheticals that have no basis in reality. We don't slaughter whole cities to prevent "possible" deaths..

WWII in Europe in fact had already ended:

"Faced with advancing Soviet forces from the east and combined U.S., British, and Allied forces from the west following the D-Day invasion, Nazi Germany was overwhelmed. After Adolf Hitler committed suicide on April 30, 1945, the remaining German military leaders signed an unconditional surrender. This formally took effect on May 8, 1945, which is celebrated as Victory in Europe Day (V-E Day)."

[Syne]

The Japanese military was actively committing atrocities and killing large numbers of civilians right up until their surrender in August 1945. While Japan’s ability to launch strategic bombing campaigns against distant foreign cities had diminished by 1945, Imperial forces heavily targeted, executed, and starved civilian populations within the territories they still occupied.

Major 1945 Civilian Atrocities

The Manila Massacre (February–March 1945): During the Battle of Manila, retreating Japanese troops systematically butchered, raped, and tortured an estimated 100,000 Filipino civilians.

The Los Baños Atrocities (February 1945): In retaliation for a successful Allied raid on a prison camp, the Japanese Saito Battalion deliberately killed over 1,500 unarmed Filipino men, women, and children.
Forced Civilian Suicides in Okinawa (April–June 1945): As American forces advanced, the Japanese military coerced or forced tens of thousands of Okinawan civilians into committing mass suicide, often using them as human shields or executing them under suspicion of spying.

Ongoing Occupation and Demographics

Continuous Casualties in China and Southeast Asia: Right up to August 1945, millions of Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Indonesian civilians under Japanese occupation died due to forced labor, deliberate starvation policies, and counter-insurgency campaigns.

Allied POWs and Internees: Japan held hundreds of thousands of civilian internees and Allied prisoners of war under brutal conditions, with explicit "kill-all" orders issued to camp commanders to execute all captives if the Japanese main islands were invaded.

During the final months of World War II, an estimated 8,000 to 14,000 non-Japanese civilians died per day across occupied Asia. These deaths occurred directly because of Imperial Japanese military operations, forced labor, mass executions, and war-induced starvation and disease.
- gemini

Again, a blockade or land invasion would have taken longer than 2-3 weeks.
But I guess you think that's fine... since it wasn't white people.

[Magical Realist]

LOL Slaughtering 200,000 innocent Japanese citizens, many with agonizing radiation deaths, to save the lives of other Japanese citizens. How compassionate of us!

You're a blithering nutcase.

Do you think Japan only occupied Japanese citizens?

Literacy is amazing!

[Magical Realist]

"Approximately 800,000 to 1,000,000 Japanese civilians died during World War II. These casualties were primarily caused by the Allies' strategic bombing campaigns of Japanese cities, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, battles on home soil (such as the Battle of Okinawa), and famine near the end of the conflict"

How many American civilian deaths by the Japanese in WWII?

BTW, have you ever smelled the stench of burning baby flesh Syne?
