If they cant get the people invested in the war, then they will just go straight to the nukes and it something i think about regularly. Where would they drop them? I did some research into why US chose Nagasaki and Hiroshima in the 1940s, and i honestly forgot what i learned, so i will have to look it up again. But it was to do with the terrain, but also they didnt want to drop on Tokyo because they wanted the government to stay largely intact for some reason.
