I hope so.

The whole episode at the end of WW2 was as much of a strategic blunder by the allies as leaving E. Europe to Stalin.

We seriously didnt need the USSR involved in that theater, and in the end we ended up helping Mao, creating N. Korea, and needlessly bringing the USSR way too close to Hokkaido when they were never even at war with Japan.

That’s the main reason why dropping Fat Man and Little Boy was a good thing. It kept Japan from being divided, like Korea.
