Considering more persons died during the conventional bombing of Tokyo than at Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. Add to that a Naval Blockade would have insured massive numbers of death through starvation how would that have been anymore inhumane.
Ultimately it boils down to, as John Locke said, no one can govern without the consent of the governed.
It’s truly horrible what happened to the Japanese but it far less than the atrocities they committed against their fellow man. The fact that the Japanese people consented to this degenerate and corrupted form of Bushido made them responsible parties.
As such it required sanctions of the harshest kind to end the atrocities of conquest, murder and destruction that the barbaric Japanese Empire laid upon the feet of the world.
Given the staggering scale and scope of the crimes against humanity that the Japanese were blatantly and unapologetically guilty of they got off, by the end of the war, far, far easier than their victims did.
Had the Japanese people stood up against the degenerate corruption of Bushido by their ruling class of their nation, non of the calamity that fell upon them in righteous retribution would have never had happened and their over ten million victims wouldn’t of been killed.
Truman without equivocation made the absolute right decision and by ending one of the most cruelest and barbaric regimes in the harshest and fastest means possible saved an untold number of loves and lifted the chains of cruel tyranny by the Japanese Empires Fascism from the shoulders of untold millions the Japanese Empire eventually would have murdered had not we righteously brought it to an end.
I do not hold or harbor ill will towards the Japanese people today. I don’t feel it’s right or fair to blame the son for the sins of the father and long ago the Japanese people have rejected war and have stood by that and rejoined the brotherhood of man and for that I am glad and think kindly upon them.
That doesn’t erase the past though and the verdict of history is that the fascist Japanese Empire was one of the vilest in all of human history that deserved and received utter destruction.

Let's get real.
Using the A Bomb on Japan was a waring shot to the burgeoning Soviet Union under Stalin. Period.
That the Japanese stupidly kept following their "emperor" sealed their own fate.
But, had the USA not tried to control the trade waters in the regions, all this crap wouldn't have gone the way it had.
And the band played on.
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

I’ll take that a step further. The Japanese Empire didn’t need to feel utterly defeated they had to defacto utterly defeated and were. They were really damned lucky they were defeated by the U.S.A. who understood the Clauswitzian doctrine that the goal of any war should be for a greater peace. It’s a principle we have fallen down in the intervening year but this understanding about the defeat of fascist Europe and Japan has created an amazing period of peace and stability around the world.
No child should die in a war but the hard cold truth was the Japanese Empire had no such problem doing exactly that.
I think the passage of time has softened views to unrealistic apologistics that’s never applied to NAZI Germany and I don’t think that is right or just. Their crimes were just as vast and horrific as the NAZI’s and that should always be in context on this topic.

Between 1946 and 1958 the U.S. nuclear testing program drenched the Marshall Islands with firepower equaling the energy yield of 7,000 Hiroshima bombs. Is there any doubt that nonwhites are nothing more than guinea pigs for anglosphere experimentation?
