Yes, agreed considering Soviet armed conflict with Japan. Made the the A- bombs as overkill.

The U.S. Army was never going to beat the Red Army to Poland and Hungary.
We made a trade. The USSR would occupy eastern Europe, and Stalin promised to help us defeat Japan by attacking them within 3 months of defeating Germany.
That is one promise Stalin kept, to the day. He declared war on Japan and annihilated the million man Kwangtung Army in Manchuria.
At Yalta, Roosevelt got Stalin to promise to hold democratic elections in Poland, but Stalin broke that promise. At that point, the American people were never going to accept using the United States Army to invade Eastern Europe.

A debatable point since the US had supplied the USSR against the Nazis. OTOH, there should be no doubt the price in American lives would only be slightly less than invading Japan. Nuking the Soviets was the only sure way to defeat them...which bombs we didn't have until a year later.

Stalin / Soviets were partners in crime with Hitler's Nazis in starting WW2.
The Molotov Ribbentrop Pact, Germany Soviet credit agreement & German Soviet Commercial Agreement.
Yet, the West never declared war on also Soviets.
Instead the West kissed Soviet behind through lend lease & at the conferences of Tehran, Yalta & Potsdam.
