Hirohito had given the order to fight on the beaches , on the streets ..like Ukraine ..fighting for their homeland .
US had to finish the job but would've cost a lot more US lives ... they thought a helluva lot more .
(Jap lives too but not sure that was factored into their thinking .)
So they decided to display their enormous and unbeatable power .

So I can see the rationale for doing it , at a time btw when no-one else had a nuke so no escalation .
But I do have a problem with a couple of things about how it was done .
They could've been more specific as to location in the leaflet drop .
They really should've had a bigger gap before Nagasaki .
and
It did set a precedent .

So you have to look at it in the context of it being very new and at the end of a very bad war against a hated enemy .
But IMO still could've been done better and with less casualties .
