I read the whole Jacobin piece. I pretty much agreed with all of it.

"...It wasn’t about ending the war. It was about announcing American willingness to use doomsday weapons on civilian populations. In August 1945, President Truman and the American establishment held a gun to the head of the entire world. And that gun remains in place to this day ..."

Can't say it better. Thanks for finding and posting it.
