No, you're absolutely right. A second war declaration carries way more weight than 2 a-bombs going off on the Japanese mainland a week before.

I think you're underestimating Japanese fear of the Russians. They had history together.
The fire bombing of Tokyo was significantly more devastating than the a-bombs.

Yes, because the Russian military in 1904-1905 was the same Russian military that was on their way to Japan in 1945.
Don't take it out of context. Sapper was talking about the history

And you replied with "what fear?" and listed 40 year old battles. I get that he referenced their history, but perhaps the fear wasn't necessarily based on the results of 40 year old battles, but more on the fact that this had been a long-time enemy that now had the ability destroy them completely.
Like I said, you're absolutely right. Another war declaration carries way more weight than 2 a-bombs going off on the Japanese mainland a week before.
Yep. That was my point.
