The Nuking of Nagasaki: Even More Immoral and Unnecessary than Hiroshima

We could have waited three days
We dropped leaflets. If memory serves, fire bombing their wooden structures with white phosphorus killed more people than the nukes and that didn't dissuade them. Even the 1st bomb didn't dissuade them. The second one did though. Their emperor even said so.

They surrendered after the Russian invasion


Why not wait three days
 
And you have to dismiss the opinions of 7 of our top generals and admirals. Lol
Who were covering their ass and preferred committing to dragging the war at great cost and deaths. Invading Japan was never going to be a picnic. Truman made the right call. They started the war and we ended it.

From your own link (which you technically never provided)... In his speech to the Japanese people presenting his reasons for surrender on August 15, the Emperor referred specifically to the atomic bombs, stating if they continued to fight it would not only result in "an ultimate collapse and obliteration of the Japanese nation, but also it would lead to the total extinction of human civilization".[56]
