My view remains, Japan was on the verge of surrender, and the only reason the bombs were dropped was to force them to surrender to America, and not jointly to America and Russia.
Although, it is too often forgotten that the Japanese murdered more Chinese civilians than the Germans murdered Jews according to most historians... in a way, it is almost as if the brutal punishment beating of the carpet bombing and finally the atomic bombing against the already ruined Japan somehow distracted people from the horror of Japa's war crimes.
