You said that it was possible to predict when Japan will surrender. Can you do that trick again, please?

Could you maybe point out what exactly in my post makes you belief that?

What I said is that a survey by/for the US government itself came to the conclusion that the atomic bombs were not necessary to effect a surrender in 1945, NOR a ground invasion.

They come to that conclusion after the end of the war, by asking Japan officials. We all are smart after a battle. Can you do this trick NOW?
