A rambling desperate President Trump

Vivify: Japan's unconditional surrender is as well-known as the atomic bombings. One event directly lead to the other.

That is heavily disputed by many historians. Soviet entry into the war, the smashing of the Kwantung Army in a matter of days (https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a144378.pdf) and the very real possibility of a Soviet invasion of the Japanese Home Islands seems to have been at least as serious a factor.

Thank you for your input. I appreciate posts like these.

This may be true, but the threat of a 3rd atomic bomb could reasonably be considered a major factor.

Either way, you were correct that the Japanese surrender was unconditional, contrary to what Earl stated.

Ignorance is bliss - either real or feigned.

It does not matter, head of state or head of government. The direct talks will take
place by people way up in the military and high government officials.

Tell me something, duchess, how many posts is your ignorance going to persist on this moot issue?

We know that negotiations TOOK PLACE. that is the salient point. Stop trying to
make it look like the whole point I raised actually depended on who the particulars were.

What do you think, duchess, another boring retort coming? I bet.
Going to correct my grammar? Punctuation? Let me see you choke the thread down
with your infernal bullcrap.

What an ignorant question. AGAIN.

Tell me, mZ. perfectionist, did Truman take place in negotiations with Japan?
