Remember Japan was angling for a peace where they got to keep a lot of their conquered territories, even if the US could manufacture more stuff eventually it doesn’t mean we wouldn’t have settled to end the war. America still takes a lot of flack for demanding unconditional surrender which led us to drop two nukes on Japan. “The US could have just accepted peace terms with some concessions to Japan, then they wouldn’t have had to drop the bombs” is the line of argument.
