Now there's lots of debate on if nukes resulted in the unsteady peace we benefit from today, but fact of the matter is two cities that existed, stopped, existing.

Edit: I'm being a bit hyperbolic but the point still stands.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still around, man.

Edit: not trying to downplay the monstrosity of the A bomb, just pointing out that they're still big cities.

"Deleted" is very much a euphemism for "everyone in them got either pulverised in an instant or died in agonising pain from radiation poisoning"
