Was the US Justified in Dropping Atomic Bombs on Japan?

The United States justified its atomic bombing of Japan by stating that it saved more Americans' lives by ending World War II. However, it was discovered immediately after Japan's surrender that the US had been pressuring the Soviet Union to declare war on Japan, which they did on August 8, 1945. 
 
The Soviet proclamation on the horizon was bound to frighten Japan; at the time, the Japanese government was suppressing communist movements (The Red Scare) as a result of their signing of the Anti-Comintern Pact with Germany and Italy. As a result, the US did not have to rush into implementing their A-bombing strategy because Japan's surrender and the end of WWII were just a matter of time. Furthermore, even without the use of atomic bombs or invasion, Japan's capitulation was a distinct possibility due to severe supply shortages.
 
The main reason for the rush is that the US needed to scare and prevent the Soviet Union from expanding its authority over Asia, especially Japan, to proclaim the shape of the postwar world. By the end of the war, it was evident that the Soviets would fill the power void left by a shattered Germany. 
 
As a result, intimidation, particularly in the context of nuclear weapons, became a crucial and effective tool for constraining Soviet expansion, known as "Nuclear deterrence/Atomic diplomacy." Since the start of the Cold War, this has been a key component of American security policy.
