We will not forget the casualties, pain, and suffering that the Japanese imperialist regime imposed on the Chinese people. Any attempt to deny or cover-up this tragedy will be met with strongest condemnation.

Oh you're right, i firgot te japanese still had continental control.
Still completely unnecessary. "Military command" was not united against surrendering. Many were actively trying to surrender, conditionally or not. The nukes could also been dropped in unpopulated areas, or coastal sea. The soviets were at most two months away from liberating manchuria and korea, who were already materially cut off from japan.
How many civilians in Manchuria would you consider is acceptable to be murdered/raped/tortured before you thought dropping the nukes was acceptable? Also materially cut off doesn't matter when they controlled so much of Manchuria that they could have kept themselves reasonably supplied just from those regions.
I've not seen anything about Japan wanting to surrender unconditionally until after the second nuke. AFAIK they wanted to keep their overseas territories which would have meant a continued genocide.

ok?
no it's not okay
Wow you really showed me, here I was completely arguing in favour of rape and you just blew my argument apart. Good job.
Thank you, I'm glad you were able to learn and grow from this interaction
Nope, nukes were still the best of a bunch of bad choices.

Years of fallout induced birth defects and rapes by occupying yankees was not the 'best of a bunch of bad choices.'
