Ha, ha, basically I'm teasing, but as an introvert sometimes people puzzle me. It definitely takes a lot of my energy to keep the sailing smooth.

It was a War Crime because Japan had been trying to broker a surrender through Russia from the moment Germany surrendered.
The US refused to talk to them because at that point, the war was won, and we wanted to demonstrate the Atom Bomb to Russia and intimidate Stalin.
That makes it a war crime.
There was never going to be a land invasion of Japan, the Japanese were ready to surrender any time we were willing to accept it.
