It arguably causes the US to be on the same tier as Japan when it comes to war crimes committed during WW2.

It most certainly does not. Even if you take the strongest possible line on the dropping of the atomic bombs, it isn't even close: the two would barely be on the same map.

Imagine the response if any other nation had used nukes.

Everyone would have said - no matter who - they would not have been justified.

That's not the issue. Are you aware of some of the things the Japanese military did during the 1930s and 40s?

We didn't throw nukes to them.

Sorry it's never justified. Period.

I realize that English is not your first language and that this might sometimes lead to confusion but a) what the Nazis did and b) the wider morality of the dropping of the atomic bombs are not the issues at hand here. The argument of yours to which people objected was this one:

It arguably causes the US to be on the same tier as Japan when it comes to war crimes committed during WW2.

Given some of the things (and the list is very long) the Japanese military did during the 1930s and 40s, the claim would be absurd even if one were to take an especially harsh view of the morality of dropping the atomic bombs. Just for starters, you might wish to look up Unit 731.
