The Japanese were trying to make an atomic bomb, too

    The wannabe commie has no clue what he is talking about. The Soviets never had any intention of negation of conditional surrender with Japan. The Potsdam agreement was based on nothing but unconditional surrender by the Empire of Japan. The Soviets adhered to the very letter of the of the agreement.

    The Emperor surrendered when we finally promised not to put any members of the imperial family on trial for war crimes.

    They weren't close to getting a bomb because the Navy and the Army fought over who should get to run it and instead created 2 separate programs that meant that neither bomb program got what it needed. The Japanese sabotaged their own project.

    The timeline for that doesn't add up the way that mine does.

    That was a wing and a prayer JOKE!!

    The Japanese KNEW it would mean nothing.

    But when a nation is basically on it's last leg people will try anything.

    I'm not saying it was ever likely to happen, I'm saying it was Japan's last hope and they surrendered when even that long shot was obviously impossible.
