Glad you pitched in. The next logical question when we conclude that Yes, the Axis powers would have used it is did the US have a right to defend itself against a vicious enemy?
There are many other things to consider. I for one think even if the Axis powers were not developing a nuke that we had a right to use it for the simple fact that it saved American GI's lives, which it most certainly did.
When we look at the deathtoll of the target areas for the nuke bombs dropped on Japan the only ones to blame are the Japanese government that started the war.
