So what? The statement you disputed was, a negotiated surrender in July would've saved Soviet lives. I demonstrated that that is indeed the case. Please state how that does not follow, if you can.
And it was the Kwang Tung Army, which often did things without asking Japan. If they had control of the Nuclear Detonation that Japan says it did off Wonsan it was putting nukes into the hands of an Army that did whatever it wanted.
That has nothing to do with YOUR claim that Japan had already Surrendered in July and we somehow bombed them for spite.
That they offered a surrender in July is well-documented and well-known to anyone who bothers to find out. We refused to consider their offer. Call it spite or callousness or an attempt to intimidate Stalin or anything you want, but those are the facts.

yeah, they offered a surrender with conditions, but dont forget that they gave FDR an ultimatum at the same time pearl harbor was being bombed. do you really think we were going to settle for anything other than unconditional surrender?

No they offered to negotiate a peace, we insisted on unconditional surrender. The Germans offered the same and we didn't accept theirs either

Then it's our responsibility (our leaders' responsibility) that the war continued, and that people on all sides continued to die even more senselessly than those who died before the offer was made.

Translated:
Its the Allies responsibility that they sought a proper conclusion to the war rather than one that would leave Japan capable of regrouping and rearming. A war that Japan started on her own volition.
djacques- You are not making a damn bit of sense.
