It was your assumption that we need to use strategic nukes against a non nuclear power.

Imagine this scenario.

Al Qaeda mk III / ISIS mk II... You can't kill a concept only its current adherents.

Kill 30,000 plus in the next terrorist attack. Not unimaginable just a matter of a twin tower type attack hitting whilst it is fully occupied.
Add in a few large massacres of 200,000 plus civilians.
Then conventional bombing being not effective enough.
Then estimates of soldier deaths to contain the menace at over a million.

In other words Japan circa WWII.

If it was justified then, why not now? Or was it a war crime then and the ROI was much more expensive too given the cost per war head has plummeted.

BTW France it is and the French Territories in the Pacific are part of France. So yes you can have EU countries land in the pacific. However as seen in this thread no EU country would test the bombs in Europe. God bless hypocrisy.
