Every objective analytical analysis has shown that the 2 atomic bombs saved far more lives than they took, due to the tens of millions of Japanese people (civilian and military, but mostly civilian) on the mainland that were fanatically devoted to their god emperor, and all ready to fight to the death.
It saved Japanese lives in the final tally, and it sure as hell saved Allied lives.
Either you know nothing of the material details of history and are just regurgitating some narrative you were handed at some ridiculous degree printing shop, or you have an agenda.
Many years ago a friend had a co-worker who was an old Japanese woman. She claimed that when she was a kid she was taught how to drown people as they believed there was going to be a major assault from the sea. Being an island I suppose that's obvious. Different people were taught to do different things to defend Japan. If the lady was telling the truth they were prepared to sacrifice their kids to do it. My friend trusted her word for whatever worth that is.
Based on the voluminous statements by so many Japanese in the post-WWII decades that soon followed, there is no reason to doubt the veracity of what she said.
History is written by the winners, so it's no wonder the US tries to justify it by any means. The exact same reasoning can be used as an excuse for launching nuclear weapons in any major war.
"German men were actively dying during the war, so we had to rape German women to save their population" - Russians, probably. Sounds about as reasonable as your excuse. If the Germans had won, they too would try their best to make excuses about the way they treated Jews
Your retort is shallow, and bears the same observation I made previously about your comprehension of history. However, now what needs to be added is that you do not understand how decisions like that are made in armed conflict.
De facto, if your statement was true, nuclear weapons would have been utilized in every major conflict since then, by a nuclear-armed power, and that has happened ZERO times, although, unfortunately, there have been plenty of major conflicts in which it may have been utilized as an option.
