Stupid people seem to forget that even in July 1945, Japan was killing 10,000 - 15,000 people PER DAY in China, Korea and southeast Asia.
I once had a serious, high-level Chinese scholar, certainly no friend of the Japanese, ask me - “ why did the USA only drop 2 atom bombs? If China had them, we would have not stopped dropping them on Japan.”
I do not doubt that is what the Emporer of Japan believed as well - the Americans would not stop until Japan was turned to glass - because that’s likely what the the likes of Tojo and Matsui would have done if they controlled the weapon.
I remember attending some sort of August 6 observance in my hometown of La Crosse, Wisc. more than twenty years ago just to see what those things looked like. I heard speaker after speaker condemn the U.S. for dropping the bomb. They had one Japanese woman who said she'd never forgive the U.S. for dropping the bomb. As I was watching the ceremony, I wanted to shout out and ask the attendees if they were going to the observance mourning the millions of Chinese civilians slaughtered by the Japanese army. Of course, there was no observance for those people.
