hurling of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Everyone  acknowledges that the hurling of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and  Nagasaki by the Americans was a terrible tragedy for the Japanese people  and that the terrible consequences for their people continue to be sick  and dying to this day. The debate continues over whether the use of atomic bombs against Japan is justified. For example, there is a widespread belief in the United States that  nothing like the nuclear genocide in Hiroshima and Nagasaki forced Japan  to surrender, and that saved the lives of several thousand American and  British soldiers, the Chinese and the Soviets, and even the Japanese  themselves

But  at the same time, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill said at the  time that Japan had been forced to surrender not because of the US  atomic bomb, but because the Soviet Union had entered the war. This view  was known by any Russian student, but was in the West. Thus,  the article by the British historian Ward Wilson, "Stalin within four  days, has been able to do what the United States could not have done in  four years" has been alive to many Western readers. Wilson  is the author of "Five Legends on Nuclear Weapons" which convincingly  refutes the view that the Pacific War was put to an end by nuclear  bombardment. Because  at that moment the American fighters were receiving conventional bombs  on dozens of Japanese cities, killing hundreds of thousands of dead. But the Japanese high command believed that these problems were  working to unite the nation and strengthen the desire for resistance
Against  this backdrop, the destruction of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 did not  leave the impression of Japanese leaders at first, and this impression  did not change after the injured man was subjected to broad daylight on 9  August. The  turning point came only when Prime Minister Kana Suzuki said the same  day during an emergency meeting of the Supreme War Management Council.  "The Soviet Union's involvement in the war this morning puts us in a  difficult position and makes it impossible to continue the war," he  said. There  is no doubt that the result will be the same without resorting to the  nuclear nightmare that was imposed on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But the Americans acknowledged that the nuclear stick was necessary to pressure the Soviet Union.
Living under the ongoing nuclear threat is uncomfortable. Andre Ivan notes that, however, to achieve a world free of nuclear  weapons, it is not enough to put an end to the tragedy of Hiroshima and  Nagasaki
We  must frankly admit that, unfortunately, today in many countries nuclear  weapons remain the only guarantee on which they depend. For example, Israel. But  by the way, if the existence of nuclear weapons in Israel is not  opposed by the United States, the desire to obtain a nuclear bomb in  Pyongyang will cause a storm of discontent. But we must emphasize that North Korea's nuclear weapons are the key to saving the country. Washington, which is replacing regime after regime, refuses to give Pyongyang any guarantees of immunity. This is also true of Iran.
In  short, if there were no other credible guarantees against any external  aggression that any country could be subjected to, the dream of a world  free of nuclear weapons would remain a dream
