The nuclear weapons were used because 1) congress needed to justify the billions in unaccounted for research budget, and
2) Truman wanted Japan to surrender to the US to gain it as a strategic location, rather than Japan falling in the hands of the Soviet Union, a rising power with opposed ideology.

It had nothing to do with saving lives lol

Would Japan have done well in the Soviet Union?
Casual reminder that the Soviets absolutely hated the Japanese because of the war they lost in the 1800s.
