The point of the nuke threat was to drive home how much easier it would be for the US to keep devastating them. As stated, minus the fallout, a nuke was just much more efficient from the American perspective, but individual bomber raids are much more sustainable than thousand bomber raids. That was the gravity of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese knew we could just keep destroying cities without any real effort beyond the cost of building bombs after that point. But they were expecting us to keep destroying cities whether it took effort or not. Thats not a change from their perspective. The charge was the Soviet declaration of war. --- "Something's wrong!
