Very good summation of what might have been without the nuclear bomb dropping at the end of WWII.

To this day, I remember my parents (Dad was a radioman and gunner in the Army Air Corps) who lived through that war solemnly telling me and my siblings that the USA had to nuke Japan because the Japanese people wouldn't surrender and would fight to the last killing more American soldiers, etc.. Years later I did some research and knew this was just another false narrative to justify such evil.

FWIW, my Dad had no such excuse for the fire bombing of Dresden, Germany which I believe he participated in. It was something he didn't want to talk about.
