Those two bombs killed tens of thousands, but nothing like the numbers that would have incurred with a conventional mainland invasion.

Nonsense.
The USA would have never survived a ground war in Japan...Sailing 1000 big bathtub toys 6000 miles and storming the Japanese beaches. That would have never worked and Truman knew it. The Japanese had a vicious "Kamikaze" ideology. Today, the Japanese are wicked smart and hugely beneficial to all of humanity.
A conventional kinetic war with Russia/China is just a suicide mission with them having massive amounts of guided munitions, drones, tactical nukes, SatCom, hypersonic missiles...the weapons of war are just so good now that war is now obsolete...there is only Mutual Assured Destruction and my fear is that the mental retards in DC haven't figured that out. Maybe they are just feebleminded murderous psychopaths and they just don't care. Afterall, most actually believe the planet is overcrowded and that CO2 can change earth climate.
It ain't 1945 anymore.
