Negative. About as official as your tits. You WISH it was official, but you couldn't be more wrong. As for Hillary's emails, we still don't even know what she sent yet. Let's let the chips fall and then we can bend her over, ok.

The Union refused to recognize the Confederacy
"One of the most important victories won by the United States during the Civil War was not ever fought on a battlefield. Rather, it was a series of diplomatic victories that ensured that the Confederacy would fail to achieve diplomatic recognition by even a single foreign government. Although this success can be attributed to the skill of Northern diplomats, the anti-slavery sentiments of the European populace, and European diversion to crises in Poland and Denmark, the most important factor stills rises from the battlefields on American soil. The Confederate states were incapable of winning enough consecutive victories to convince European governments that they could sustain independence."

So? Just admit there was no official document recognizing the existence or legitimacy of the confederacy. How difficult can that be? Seeing as how there was no such document, it should be rather easy.

So in reality Stalin was the biggest beneficiary by the droppings of atomic bombs?

It was in an official capacity, and a matter documented in official records, that Lincoln's representatives treated with Confederate representatives while conducting POW exchanges; hence, de facto, recognizing the Confederate government, you "#Grubered", freelance faggot, Odumbo Minion from Arkansas.

Your question makes no sense. Stalin got what he could in spite of the bomb. Stalin advanced his timetable for "Operation August Storm" at least twice because of the bomb's existence. Stalin anticipated that if he did not get into the Pacific War quick enough, the Soviet Union would be unable to aggrandize itself with new territory in Asia or have a political presence in post-war Asia before an official truce was declared between Japan and the other Allies. Those who argue that the bomb didn't hasten the end of the war and, instead, myopically give sole credit to the Soviet attack choose to ignore how the bomb's mere existence hastened the launching of the Soviet attack. And do take note what is related in one of your cited articles; wherein, it explicitly states Truman's number one concern justifying his use of the bomb:
Quote:
First, Truman wanted to avoid a land invasion of Japan, which would have killed thousands of Americans.
Second, he was determined to impose unconditional surrender on the Japanese because anything short of that would have made him appear weak. He also worried that a failure to achieve unconditional surrender might fortify those in Japan who wanted to continue fighting. [The whole concept of "unconditional surrender" was predicated on the recent experience with an unbowed, post-WWI Germany, which had defiantly rearmed and renewed hostilities a mere twenty years after WWI.]
Finally, Truman hoped to end the Pacific War before the Soviet Union entered the fray against the Japanese, a development that might permit Stalin to obtain territory in Asia or demand a role in America's postwar occupation of Japan. Consequently, Truman was in a hurry to use the bomb.
As Hasegawa writes, "a race was on between the atomic bomb and Soviet entry into the war." For Truman, the bomb was the solution "to all the dilemmas he faced."

Of course, when there are varied opinions on the consequences of a historical event, we can always go to the facts.
The United States dropped those bombs, Japan surrendered.
