Look, I know you seem to believe that because part of the Japanese government was looking for peace that this automatically means they were going to surrender but military action doesn't work that way. At all.

For one, the TERMS of the surrender matter a whole heck of a lot. If Nazi Germany says "hey, we'll surrender if you just leave us in power in Germany" the answer is still going to be FUCK NO because LIKE HELL we're going to leave the Nazis in charge of Germany.

For another, looking for peace doesn't necessarily mean that anything is going to come of it -- the WWI powers frequently "sought peace" with one another but that hardly meant they were almost beaten.

Plus, you seem to be forgetting that more people died in the firebombing of Tokyo than in Hiroshima or Nagasaki and that the long-term effects of radiation weren't known at the time.

Furthermore, if Japan was going to surrender than why are you claiming in your source that Japan only surrendered due to the Soviet Union getting involved?

If they were, indeed, planning on surrender, then your source is claiming otherwise by saying the Soviet Union was the instigating factor. So your point fails on multiple levels.
