propaganda and machinations of the ruling class are the majority of what went on. the real objective was displacing millions of people and murdering millions more.

as for the "bomb" it's classified how it works and the first atomic bomb test at trinity supposedly worked first time without any unit or integration tests. that's enough for me to be satisfied it's only a political weapon because they have never actually used it in war, and hiroshima and nagasaki don't count because the qui bono of japan surrendering and having victim crocodile tears to cry suited them in exchange for military protection against russia
