Read up on Truman, I don't think he was cabal. I used to absolutely hate him for what he did to Japan, but when you read more into the decision making that went into dropping the bomb and the level to which Japan was hunkering down to prepare for a full scale land-war in Japan, it really may have been the lesser of evils.

Yea if we would have invaded it would have been an absolute bloodbath/genocide. You've heard the stories about the island hopping campaign. The Japs would literally fight to until there were none left.

If he was not part of the cabal he was just a useful idiot.

You're wrong, Japan was defeated, Truman kept it from them that he would spare their emperor. If they would have known that they would have surrendered. We already leveled their cities using napalm. Two nukes did nothing damage wise. Truman was an idiot, he even said so when becoming President.
