I know that during World War 2, President Truman had some reservations about using the atomic bombs on Japan. Could it be possible that he chooses not to use them and instead opts to win the war with Japan through conventional means. Supposing that the post-war years will happen as otl, when the Korean War comes around, could the Americans then use the bombs against maybe, China, to stop them joining the war? If they do, it would be the first time that anyone has ever used them. What could the consequences be?
