They dropped the bomb a week before Truman's meeting with Hitler and Stalin. They rushed to get THEM ready. Hiroshima was hit with a Uranium bomb. The Plutonium bomb had to be tested and shown to Stalin too.
So the question is, did they save most of Europe from Stalin, at a cost of 250,000 Japanese? Did the EU say thank you?
Damn, I said Truman meeting Hitler and Stalin? Well maybe they dragged him along.
Truman, Churchill and Stalin.

Truman was in a position exactly like Teddy Roosevelt. The bosses put Teddy on the VP slot so they could get him out of the way because he was causing so much trouble. Nobody expected the president to die and him to become president. Same with Truman. He was being a troublemaker too and he was given the VP slot for the same exact reason and the exact same thing happened

Clearly the Japanese shouldn't have attacked Pearl Harbor.
When you pick a fight you don't get to cry uncle and end it if you start losing.
At least they learned their lesson.

Yep Japan picked a fight with a country twice its size. Germany did that with Russia too
In the end the big country can just use its men and resources to grind the small country to the dust in a war of attrition.

Actually, you do.
That was the problem though - they flat out refused to cry uncle, even after the first bomb got dropped.
