Well, there were those two pesky little bombs we dropped in Japan in WWII

Yes there were.

If they had been dropped on December 10, 1941, do you believe Japan would have surrendered?

Without Guadalcanal, without Leyte, without Iwo Jima, without sinking the entire IJN, the bombs would have been meaningless.

That is a totally different subject. Good question but again, totally different subject. Original post was that bombs don’t win wars. I just pointed out an example of when it did.
If you want to speculate on a “what if”, that would be interesting but not relevant to this post.
