There seems to be a problem with the photos. The owner has removed them from view. There is an explanation at the page Atomic Tragedy -- Photos. It seems as though, at least two of the photos are from an earthquake in 1923.

Dropping those bombs was completely unnecessary. The war was over. Fucking up Dresdan was pretty aweful also

So what? War is war. Japan started the war with the United States and suffered the consequences.

The war was not over. The Japanese had not surrendered, and were not prepared to do so. Dropping those bombs saved many thousands of American lives, that would have been lost had we been required to invade the other Japanese home islands.

No.

Hirohito had offered the surrender of Japan, but wanted to keep his title.

This didn't fit with the "Unconditional Surrender!" posture.

He kept the title anyway.

Horseshit. The Japs were beaten and they knew it. They were trying to surrender but not unconditionally. All they wanted was to keep the stupid emperor, something welet them do anyways
