I don't think you're entirely wrong, but there exists a strong counterpoint to this.
Many argue that Japan did not capitulate because of the nukes, Japan capitulated because Soviet Union entered the war.

This guy paints a picture of the US dropping nukes as a bad thing. Numbers alone suggest that’s incorrect, 2 million Japanese died in WW2, the whole world lost 3% of people. Scores of people. If the US hadn’t dropped the bombs untold numbers of people would have died. The US didn’t roar into WW2 they were pulled in after trying to stay out. This guys a fuckin idiot.

Ahhh yes. The pillar of a good argument right here.

The mental reasoning of a 14 year old at work, fascinating

In an ideal world, of course.
But in the end, that has nothing to do with whether or not it is a good thing that US is working against nuclear proliferation.

So the US should give up theirs, right?

Did your collective remorse undie multi millions of people? I'm glad you're sad about it but your still being an asshat
Your country perpetrated the 2 worst wars the planet has ever seen and your like "Iraq! Hiroshima/Nagasaki!" No one would have died via atomic bomb in ww2 if you guys hadn't started it

I think most people can agree that fewer people with nukes is better than more people with nukes.
More people with nukes means more nuke usage, everyone having nukes means rather frequent nuke usage.
I personally would strongly prefer to live in a world without nukes. I can't have that, so I'll be happy with the less maximalist goal of nobody using nukes. The most realistic way to achieve that is for less people to have nukes.

Where do you think I am from? My comment history makes it pretty clear that I live in the UK, the way I write should make it more than obvious that I'm not a native English speaker.
Anyway, I'm a UA/RO dual national.

I couldn’t care less where either of you are from. You’re argument is garbage.

Total outside perspective here. No bone in the comment thread.
You look like the foolish one.
And I won't be replying to whatever foolish response you have.

Now think through the same argument from a non US perspective, you'd be surprised how foolish you look

"I believe guns are bad. Therefore, even though there's someone pointing theirs at me right now, I will immediately disarm."

Whatever. Anything that keeps nuclear weapons out of the hands of the worlds biggest state sponsor of terrorism is a net positive to me.

>not connected to the Internet, and hence never patched
These two things are not mutually exclusive and is almost criminal in a nuclear facility

That's only part of it. It's purpose is to discover vulnerabilities. That's not what was happening there

Oh man, I agree a web diagram could go in a thousand directions but we only know what happened because of what happened.
