Nonsense.
Japan had no Navy or Air Force of any consequence left.
The only reason 2 nuclear weapons were used, was the astronomical manpower losses, on both sides, there would have been, if the US had had to land on Japanese mainland.
Those two bombs killed tens of thousands, but nothing like the numbers that would have incurred with a conventional mainland invasion.
