Or was it that the need to prove ones bigness by dropping the mother of all bombs on what was (arguably) a beaten opponent just to prove superiority? And data...
Data from the twin bombs was invaluable in creating and prolonging the cold war. Physical and measurable evidence of the power of da bomb.
Also. A Flaming pooh parcel was what convinced the yanks into a war they didnt want.
Ha. Pooh parcel.

Oh we definitely flexed on the Japanese after they made the last mistake anyone ever makes, attacking the US (we killed 1 million Iraqis and achieved the highest K/D ratio in human history), but we resisted joining the war prior to that because the British and French empires were evil. Less evil than Japan and Germany, sure, but that wasn’t obvious at the time to an American observer asking why farm boys in Iowa should die so that Britain could hold Singapore and Bombay
