As a non-American, while I do see the need for such tests during the Cold War, the way America ruined pristine pacific islands just saddens me. They should’ve been held accountable for that but alas better them than the USSR

If you’re just talking about the islands themselves, I’d say that falls under the umbrella of aesthetics: are the islands more or less beautiful now? We’ll never have an aesthetics court to argue such things, sadly.

I expect most people would agree that an unbombed island is more aesthetically appealing than a bombed one. I don't need a court to decide which one I prefer.

There are a couple islands which have massive holes in them now. We're not talking about small craters. You can see them on Google Maps.

Holes in islands are natural. A meteorite could easily have made the crater instead. Humans didn't do anything abnormal to the islands, really.

Can't tell if trolling or serious.
