My wife, being Japanese, reminds me whenever this anniversary comes up. Despite the seriousness of such a thing, it’s more like a running joke between us. Especially with me being former military. Tonight, I asked her: So, if Japan had the same bomb back then, do you think they would’ve dropped it on LA or San Francisco? She said, oh yeah. No doubt. I said, well there you have it.

Interestingly enough, there is substantial evidence to suggest that the Japanese had in fact developed their own atomic bomb, and that a test detonation took place off the coast of what is now North Korea in the days just before Hiroshima, this documentary is quite well done and I found it more than credible:

Of course they would have. I thought the Japanese were working on nucs too. In fact, a submarine had left Germany, with nuclear material, for Japan's nuclear weapons program, but I think the Germans surrendered the sub to the US.

My dad had just finished up in Germany in 1945. He was a
combat veteran, Army Infantry. IF Truman hadn’t had the
guts to use what we had, my dad would have, as a hardened
combat veteran, had to go to Japan where the odds of
survival were horrible. - President Truman made the decision
to drop the bomb, went to bed and slept well that night.
