They dropped the bombs because they feared the Soviet's gaining more power. Don't be duped. If they thought dropping Nukes benefited the Soviets then they would have invaded. The flaw in this assertion is that the US only had two functional bombs, and just got really lucky that the Japanese didn't know that. ? How is that a flaw in the assertion.
