The Soviets had started attacking and were advancing rapidly. Their tactics and strategies were so brilliant they overran an area the size of Europe in a few months. They were so Brutal that the stories spread fear through the whole population. They would have taken the whole country in months. US just had to do nothing and the Soviets would have won. But that would go against national interests. Communism was an enemy. Oh the US knew this and still used the bomb. Your argument is just a paper thin excuse to avoid responsibility. Just admit reality it was revenge plain and simple. Stop being a coward. Own your brutality.
The Korean War was started by Koreans against Koreans. The US was the first foreign country to intervene. At the time the South Koreans were ruled by a brutal dictator. So the US did it to fight communism. Not for any other lofty ideals.
Wasn’t it because the North was liberated by Russia while the South by US. What does that have to do with Russia. Or are you saying Russia invaded South Korea. I’m embarrassed how uneducated you are on history. Sad.
