"The Japanese never attacked the USSR. Stalin only attacked them at the end to grab territory in Asia." Some say it wasn't fear of the atom bomb that made Japan surrender to the U.S., but it was the fear of a Russian invasion.

They are wrong. We know the events that led up to the surrender. Even after we dropped the bombs the cabinet was deadlocked. It took the Emperor’s intervention who told them that surrender was preferable to the destruction of the entire Japanese race by nukes.
