    Remember when the Nazis bombed London, and the British gave up? Remember when the allies firebombed Tokyo or Dresden and the war ended?

    It doesn’t work. Really the only time a country was bombed into submission, it took 2 nuclear weapons and the promise of more, and they were already in the verge of losing.

      Some historians argue that the bigger factor was the sowjets preparing to enter the war against Japan and that the nuclear bombs just kind of sped up the decision that was coming anyway.
