Not only that but....we dropped two atomic bombs on them! I don't think the Japanese surrendered to minor Russian incursions into Manchuria. Those were just a land grab against a falling empire. It baffles me that anyone actually believes something else. I mean it's possible that Russia would of hastened the surrender if .we hadn't dropped two atomic bombs on them!
