Nuking Japan was completely unnecessary. The real reason they surrendered was because USSR was about to invade them. That the USSR would attack Japan was completely predictable, and the probability that Japan would surrender to prevent that was considerable.
All the nonsense about 'nuking being justified to save millions of our young soldiers' lives'. Lies, utter lies, the USSR would have taken down Japan by itself if it had to.
But, you see, they wanted an actual test of the new weapons on actual targets. That is sheer evil. You don't have to defend that, and you shouldn't.
