Was having a conversation with a friend the other day about the general theorising and prophesying going on in the UFO community and current world events heating up and I brought up the popular (I thinK?) theory that whatever is piloting UAP/UFOs seems to have an interest in diffusing nuclear disasters and explosions.

He raised the question of why didn’t they intervene when it came to the bombs dropped on Japan, or if not Hiroshima then at least Nagasaki, being the second? I can think of some possible arguments but I was wondering if there is a generally believed answer to this amongst those who subscribe to this theory/worldview that I’ve not seen?

TLDR: If ET doesn’t want us to nuke, why didn’t they stop us from nuking before?

PS: Sorry if I’ve not followed some rule in making this post. If so it was an accident.

EDIT PPS: I’m just really asking the people who do subscribe to the interventionist theory how they’ve got around this issue, not arguing if the interventionist theory holds water generally.

EDIT: Maybe I’ll come back in 24h and leave an edit here summarising peoples answers. Most common from this first 25 mins seems to be the belief that 1. They wanted to give us an opportunity to learn from our mistakes or 2. they dgaf about human life but do about the entire planet so it was the proliferation of nukes after the bombs on Japan that have caused the (supposed) interventions.
