Did the US purposefully time the dropping of the atomic bombs to be before the Soviet declaration of war on Japan?

by lordshield900

So the bombs were supposed to be dropped August 3rd. However bad weather delayed the bombing of hiroshima to August 6th.

The US knew the soivets planned on attacking on August 15th but the USSR sped up the attack to the 9th because the wanted to get in on the action before Japan surendred due to the atomic bombings.

My question is did the US purposefully set teh date of the atomic bombing in early august in order to try and get Japan to surrender before th soviets got involved?

Thanks

See this answer I gave to a similar question yesterday. The US was trying to end the war before the Soviets declared war; the Soviets accelerated their plans to avoid that outcome.
