I don't know TheRealMafoo, nukular bombs cost a looooooot of money.

Japan was already destroyed. They didn't need any more bombs. They were out of fuel and ammo and food and starving to death.

It was just like the space race, between us and the Soviets, to see who could finish off Japan faster, to come out as the sole victor of WW2. We were all mad that we met halfway in Germany, and we wanted to smash Japan by ourselves to make up for it.

As soon as we dropped the nuke, the Soviets got worried that we'd beat Japan without them and we'd look better, like we did it alone, so they immediately invaded and started slaughtering people.

So we dropped another bomb.
