Yeah, they “confessed“ after months of torture and brain washing.

Yeah they did, they were at the limits of their logistics, they were running out of manpower and they’d have been facing Wallied air power that would have gutted the Red Army. The Russians were unable to cope with the Luftwaffe which never had a tithe of the tactical air power the WAllies had and no strategic air power at all. If they hadn’t stopped, Lend-Lease would have stopped and both the Red Army and the Soviet civilians would have starved. Civilians were already existing on near starvation levels of food and the Red Army was living on American provided preserved foods like SPAM and whatever it could loot from the Eastern Europeans and Germans as it advanced.The Soviets stopped at the Elbe. They didn't have to.
you people are stupid as shit. Even after 2 atomic bombs Japan refused to surrender. The only reason they did is because the emperor overruled the Government and ordered it. And then the Army staged a coup to stop that.
A monumental pile of horse shi'ite.The Bomb Didn't Beat Japan - The Soviet Union Did. Important analysis in US Foreign Policy magazine - Learning from China
The leading US magazine Foreign Policy published an important article showing conclusively that it was the entry of the Soviet Union into the Pacific War that was the decisive event that caused Japan to surrender, not the atomic bomb. This fact has been known for a long time to serious...learningfromchina.net
That's like believing that the invasion of Sicily caused Italy to surrender, or the invasion of Italy caused Germany to surrender. By 1945 Manchuko (Manchuria) and China were nothing more than minor distractions to the Japanese leadership. Neither was getting supplies or reinforcements and the best units had already been withdrawn to face the coming American invasions of the Home Islands,A monumental pile of horse shi'ite.
The US, virtually alone, destroyed the IJN and IJAAF, stripped Japan of its outside resources, destroyed its ability to resupply or reinforce by sea, burned virtually every major city to the ground - with the unopposed ability to burn all of them - and THEN dropped 2 nuclear weapons, with the not-so-implied threat that if they did not surrender now, we'd keep dropping them until they did.
Indeed - the US destroyed Japan's ability to defend herself to the point where USN carriers battleships were sitting off the coast, attacking -strategic- Japanese targets - because they had nothing better to do.
But the USSR invading Manchuria... yeah, that's what forced their surrender.
