You’re trying to trivialize the nuclear weapons used on Japanese soil.

You’re trying to trivialize the fact that for 4 years we beat the crap out of them across the Pacific.

You’re trying to trivialize the fact that for 2 years we fire bombed their cities to ruin and killed countless Japanese.

You’re trying to be dismissive of our efforts to give the USSR credit for Japan surrendering.

That is nothing but anti-American liberal propaganda.

I am not trying to minimize anything.

By the way, FDR screwed use over the U.S. by putting that all on us. (And a little bit on Britain) The other Allies farmed out all the heavy lifting of the Pacific War to the U.S., while expecting the U.S. to bail them out in Europe.

And you are missing a HUGE point. First of all, Russia or no, the U.S. had to put that effort in. Most importantly, if all those things you mention hadn't happened, Japan would have been an Iron Curtain country. Not an ally of the U.S.
