The united states was broke and wouldn’t have been able to continue the war and would have been forced into negotiating peace terms. The japs had atomic bombs and had tested them off the Korean coast making it a necessity for us to use the bombs to end the war. A decision that ultimately saved millions of lives.

"The japs had atomic bombs and had tested them off the Korean coast making it a necessity for us to use the bombs to end the war."

I've never heard that, and can't find anything about it with a casual internet search. Do you have a reference? Genuinely curious...

Don’t be ridiculous.

The united states [sic] was broke and wouldn’t have been able to continue the war and would have been forced into negotiating peace terms.

Please provide supporting evidence for this assertion!
