History is written by the winners, so it's no wonder the US tries to justify it by any means. The exact same reasoning can be used as an excuse for launching nuclear weapons in any major war.

"German men were actively dying during the war, so we had to rape German women to save their population" - Russians, probably. Sounds about as reasonable as your excuse. If the Germans had won, they too would try their best to make excuses about the way they treated Jews

Your retort is shallow, and bears the same observation I made previously about your comprehension of history. However, now what needs to be added is that you do not understand how decisions like that are made in armed conflict.

De facto, if your statement was true, nuclear weapons would have been utilized in every major conflict since then, by a nuclear-armed power, and that has happened ZERO times, although, unfortunately, there have been plenty of major conflicts in which it may have been utilized as an option.
