Ussr didn't have an atomic bomb in 45.
If Putin drops a nuke now everyone will.

Insert real fallout

Japan had Yuuichiro Hanma and the US was no longer taking any chances after what they witnessed from him in Okinawa.

Ukraine is not an aggressor nation, there was no need for a war with them to begin with.

It was easier than a land invasion.

Also, from talking to my grandpa before he passed away (who served in Korea, but all his brothers served in WW2) I don't think people realize how much the average American hated the Japanese and didn't care that much that we nuked them. Pearl Harbor and the war really nulled that sense of humanity in a lot of people.

Because they dropped the Ark of the Covenant out of a B-26 over Japan but it failed to detonate.

The first bomb was used because Japan was not calming down. It was believed that a land invasion of Japan would have been the deadliest battle in human history. At least in that war for sure

We didn't need the 2nd bomb. Japan was in the process of surrender but the official message took time to get to us, and the official stated reason for the 2nd bomb was "Japan was too slow to respond"

But the real reason was to show off to the Soviets and make them fear us

Also if the land invasion had happened, Russia was going to join in and Japan probably would have been split like Germany, with half owned by the US and half by the soviets. Western Japan likely would have become a communist territory

Didn't the USSR invade the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo three days after the Hiroshima bomb?

Considering that Stalin had transformed much of central and eastern Europe into a vast communist prison camp by 1949, it's a little difficult to argue that the nuclear bombings proved much of a deterrent against Soviet expansionism.
