Yes, dropping the atomic bombs was necessary. The offspring of a million American Grandfathers would not be alive today if Truman had decided to invade the island of Japan. Anyone who thinks that the Japanese people would not have fought to the death is kidding themselves. Millions of Japanese men, women and children would have killed themselves rather than surrender to the Americans. Read about the fight for Okinawa and you will have some idea of how tenaciously the Japanese were prepared to fight for their homeland. Anyone who thinks that a negotiated settlement could be reached with the Japanese in 1945 has no understanding of the Japanese or American character. The time for talk was long past and both the Americans on the offensive and the Japanese on the defensive were prepared to slug it out until the bitter end. You sell the Japanese people short if you think they would have listened to reason, when their homeland and emporer were threatened. The Japnanese are a proud and strong people, only the reality of the technical superiority of the American military demonstrated by the dropping of the atomic bombs would bring the conflict to a sudden, dreadful, and conclusive end.

Harry S. Truman did not drop the bomb on Russia. He ordered the dropping of atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 during World War II, in order to bring about a swift end to the war and avoid a costly invasion of mainland Japan. The goal was not to target or harm Russia.
