The US bombed tens of thousands, killing them outright for 'nuclear tests', recent reports suggest.

    USSR and US/GB were already fighting each other in the Artic circle. Japan was losing badly and was already offering conditional surrender. The US wished to test how the world would react and if they could prevent a full out war with Russia.

    They dropped their 2 different prototype bombs on Japan and told Russia/the world, they don’t just have one bomb, they have a factory making them.

    So the US and USSR fought proxy wars instead of full scale. Pretty much still are.

      Thing is that US was the instigator of the cold war with USSR, if US chose to have a peaceful and cooperative relationship then the problem wouldn’t have existed in the first place.
