Ю it disproves the myth (used to justify the atom bombs) that only being nuked forced them to consider surrender.

How is this a myth if nukes were mentioned in emperor's address as a reason to surrender?

I'm not sure what you're having trouble understanding here:

Because, as I've said, at least twice, they were already considering surrender even before the atomic bombs were dropped.

[PerfectDlite]

Yes. But if atomic bombs were mentioned as a reason for surrender, why you're calling it a myth?

[quirkafleeg]

Because being one of numerous factors is not the same as being the only factor, or even necessarily the deciding factor.

[PerfectDlite]

What numerous factors are you talking about? Did they got a mention in emperor's address?

Since you're asking me what's in it, I assume you haven't read it. Why not do that now; it's not hard to find online.

After that, please read some basic WWII history before stringing this thread out any longer, if you're seriously unaware of anything but the atom bomb that didn't go Japan's way in 1945.
