That's western propaganda talking. Japan tried to surrender a couple of times, but it was the United States that was unwilling to end the war. The problem was that Japan wanted to surrender conditionally (wanted to keep the Emperor, do their own war crime trials, etc), and the US pledged to get unconditional surrender. Dropping the bombs was unnecessary to end the war, and arguably unnecessary to end the war to satisfy the US.

Not true. The use of atomic bombs on Japan crippled any chance of a successful coup d’état in order to continue the war to the last last bullet and last man. Any conditional surrender agreement negotiated by the Emperor would have easily been prevented by the hardliners who came ever so close to a successful overthrown of the Emperor despite the use of atomic bombs.

The Emperor's use of the Young Officers Movement to control both senior military officials and politicians very nearly backfired on him. Junior officer insubordination not only strangled Japan's democracy between the wars, it got them into WWII in the first place, and very nearly resulted in the destruction of Japan and the Japanese people as a whole.

As Japan had trained, planned and intended to use every man, woman AND child in defense of their homeland… as horrid as the bomb was, it saved lives. The US military estimated Japanese casualties in the millions, perhaps as high as 3-5 million dead, with an estimated 500k Americans dead. I know many Japanese (and other nations) hate America because we used an atomic bomb, but sadly, it may have been the most humane option.

It wasn't the Soviet invasion of Manchuria per se that factored into their equation. It was that they lost the Soviet Union as a backstop. For the entire war, Japan knew that the Soviet Union had their back. While American and British Empire forces died in jungles and beaches to the south and east, the Soviet Union blocked any attacks from the North and West. So it was the "US Atomic bombs, and the loss the war-long Soviet Backstop that caused the Japanese surrender."

I highly doubt that the Japanese planners were worried about the imbrues the starved and irradiated surviving 1/10th of the Japanese population would have to suffer under Soviet occupation, let alone partition.

I thought I read that there was not enough enriched U235 to make a third bomb. Also the firebombing of Tokyo killed more people. (A clear war crime perpetrated by the USA, and McNamara and associated war planners.) I'm not apologizing for the USA, just pointing out some other inconvenient facts.

Robert McNamara was an analysis of B-29 bombing data.He had nothing to do with the atomic bombs or the fire bombing of Japan.He did have a hell of a lot to do with Vietnam.

The reason why they used atomic bombs was because of the way the Japanese fought. They fought to the death average Japanese civilians on some islands would go over to the American troops to surrender or looking for assistance and then blow themselves up 20 30 at a time horrible stuff like that. So America was afraid of the casualties they would suffer invading japan. So we bombed them I think we could just have dropped a few off of the coast and scared them I think that would have most definitely worked.

"scaring them" didn't work. The firebombing of Tokyo would have done it, it such a thing were possible.
