And they prevent wars.

 

[MacBaine]

Then they also start peace... eh? So whenever we're about to go to war, we should just drop another nuke and start another peace.

If it's so historically proven, show me three examples.

i'm sure the germans were scared to death, how were they to know we didn't have more? any decently logical person would surrender given those circumstances........bah

In 6 more months, the Germans likely would have had the bomb.

Um, no. Actually, we found out after the war that the Germans were no where near developing an atom bomb.

Actually, if the Allies had not gotten lucky and destroyed the only plutonium producing factory the germans had, Hitler would have had the bomb two years before anyone else ....

Isn't that all beside the point since the Germans surrendered before we dropped the bomb on Japan?
