Japan surrendered due to the Bomb drops. This prevented the invasion of Japan that would have resulted in the total eradication of life on those islands due to the US’s experience on Iwo Jima and Okinawa. The Japanese Isles would be glass statues without that surrender as the US would not risk troops and fire bombing would have done the job without the Nuke.
The US would not have stopped without total surrender. That would not have come without massive loss of life. Whether or not more died to the bomb is a moot question. The better question is how many would have survived without it and would it have been classified as a genocide afterward.
There was no distinction between civilian and soldier on the eastern front after Iwo Jima and Okinawa, the civilians fought as combatants.
The Japanese still exist due to the bomb and the Emperor.
let’s not say nukes are good. did the nukes undo those atrocities?
No, but they stopped more from occuring.
I will say nukes are bad, though.
>they stopped more from occuring
this can’t be proven
“The trolley might have stopped on its own”
it wasn’t a trolley though, was it? it was individuals making decisions.

we will never know whether they would have surrendered without them on the same time table.

neither of these statements can be proven.

nuking two cities is genocide, and it isn’t a favor to the survivors.
