America dropped the nuclear bombs on japan because they wanted to, not because they needed to https://twitter.com/varsha_venkat_/status/1379941627322462208
"Nooooo the japanese people were mindless killing machines, even the civilians and children, so we had to vaporize 2 cities!!!!"
Look, im fully aware that Imperial Japan was far from good by any reasonable standard, but if the point of dropping a nuke on civilians was to scare them into surrender, then why did they drop a second one?
1. the US wanted to display their power to the rest of the world, especially the Soviets
2. They wanted to end the war on their terms before the Soviets got there and maybe spread influence
3. They wanted to test the soul destroyers of they created

There are others, but i think these are the major reasons
