He didn't. That's why US opted to use the bombs to force a surrender & save lives on both sides in the long run. They were also warned & given an opportunity to surrender before they were used.

Pearl Harbor, where we realized that the threat of Japan was VERY, VERY real and that Japan had to be stopped in any way possible? Take your pick.
