To emphasize the main substantive point, the US having access to nuclear weapons while the other side did not was not a factor in who won WW II. By the time the US had nukes, Germany had already surrendered and Japan was beaten. (And Japan knew it; they had been making peace feelers through various avenues for months.) WW II was won by conventional weapons. In other words, the basic historical claim being made here, that the US's "brief period of dominance" in nukes won WW II, is false. Not only that, it's "schoolboy error" false: the sort of mistake nobody who claims any sort of knowledge about the subject they're writing about should make.
