While that is true, as declassified documents show, it’s important to note they didn’t have that many more bombs ready at the moment (IIRC they did have a third one ready to be dropped) but they were being manufactured as quickly as they could, so the war would have to last a while for all of them to be used. But they planned to, which is a little scary
Yes, the article mentions the manufacturing bottleneck.
It’s insane that after seeing the effects of the first 2 bombs, military leaders still lobbied for more to be dropped.
The nuclear bombs were hardly more cruel than any other part of WW2. Nukes killed a comparatively low number of people. Per unit, nukes are scary, but it was just a drop in the bucket.
