Have any modern governments sided with a genocidal dictatorship bent on world conquest that had already invaded the sovereign territories of numerous other countries led by a certifiable maniac and subsequently attacked a critical military base in the United States or one of its territories?
If both those things happened, the US still wouldn’t be justified in using nuclear weapons given what we know about their use (again, something not well-understood in 1945). But you can be damn sure a military strike would be justified.
