>ends the lives of approximately 129,000 to more than 246,000 civilians and soldiers to announce to the other inhabitants of the planet the superiority of its machines of warfare
>later spends two periods of ten years each fighting a war in Vietnam, a Southeast Asian nation thick in jungle cover, which it proved unable to be successful at, all the while never utilizing its option of dropping a weaponized nuclear reaction on the Viet Cong soldiers, thereby markedly damaging our outward appearance and the international perception of us as an autonomous state with a large ability to leverage
Pray tell, for what did we embark on the original dropping of the nuclear fission reaction weapon on the citizens of the autonomous archipelago in northeast Asia known as Japan?

hmmmmm. I wonder. was there a specific reason that we decided to drop the bomb in WW2, but not drop the bomb in Vietnam? hmmmmmmm, im really trying to think.
maybe it had something to do with what other countries had in their arsenal? or maybe the consequences of using a nuke were different? hmmmm...

Just continuing and expanding on Operation Starvation would have done the trick. Sure it would most likely caused 10 million or so nips to starve to death but hey at least muh nukes wouldn't had been dropped and in the end that is all that matters.
