This discussion thread is pretty idiotic, Japan had no Navy, had a totally grounded Air Force, had limited resources left and were surrounded on all sides. The allies flattened Tokyo doing more damage than the nuclear bombs did anyway and Japan did not surrender just like Nazi Germany had been brainwashed to fight to the very end by their doctrine. To make matters worse, the Soviets had declared war on Japan and let the allies know they were planning an invasion of their own and would have probably ended up splitting Japan in half by the end of a ground offensive from both sides. This forced the USA to act fast and prevent this cataclysmic loss of life and Soviet interference so the nuclear bombs were dropped. The USA was not lying about having more nuclear weapons as they quickly had 7 more a few months later, the speed of building the nukes was very fast at that point in the world's largest factory that still had that title when it was imploded in 2006. By 1950 the UAS had around 300 nukes but the world view changed and the USA did not use these weapons in the Korean war for example.

@waynepatterson5843 I don't have the time to sit here for hours and write a response to you since I have better things to do but I will just briefly go over your list. 1. The Japanese Navy beached almost ALL of it's remaining ships and used them as anti air defenses following the air raid on Yokosuka in July 1945. 2. The Soviets had very large forces, they had just captured Manchuria with over 1.5 million Soviet solders, 27,000 artillery pieces, almost 4000 aircraft, 5500 tanks and almost 1500 rocket launchers. Ivan Yumashev stated that he had the task of preparing to invade Hokkaido in August 1945 and all aerial maps show little to no resistance would have been met so they would likely had been able to walk deep in to Japan with a token force all thanks to allied activities. I think it is safe to assume that had the war taken another year to resolve Japan would have had at least some of its northern lands in Soviet hands.
