Over 150,000 innocent people were killed by the explosion alone, without even considering the impact of radiation exposure. They were densely populated urban cities chosen BECAUSE they were densely populated. Military and industrial targets which would have minimized harm to civillians and maximized damage to military operations were suggested but rejected because the goal of the nukes wasn’t to damage the military, it was to demonstrate the destructiveness of the nuclear bombs to the USSR. They were showing off. They did a terrorist attack a hundred times worse than 9/11 just to show off their new bomb.
By your logic, America really did deserve 9/11 - New York City is a military target, after all.
