Wait... wasn't the bombing of Dresden a borderline war crime because it almost exclusively targeted civilians? pic.twitter.com/bQFeCswAD3

He's willing to learn and that's a Good Thing
Dresden was bad though yeah, burning 5 figures worth of civilians to death to impress the Soviets is actually not a big tactical W.

Nuking over 100k Japs to impress the soviets is better

1) Japanese are insects
2) The nuking had the unfortunate side effect of saving millions of lives, mostly Japanese

Pics OP got +40k upkongs, but the comments weren't so kind. Doesn't look like he was baiting, seems unironically convinced those civilians should've died.

You know who else was convinced? The entire allied high command, or it wouldn't have happened.

Noooo only the luftwaffe can indiscriminately bomb cities it's a hecking war crime when the allies do it back
If I was in charge of the British and American air forces in WW2 I would simply use precision aiming technology that wouldn't be invented for another few decades.

Yeah, I don't like whenever people go "Guys allies did bad here? Why were they not trialed at Nuremberg?" War is not pretty, you do things that are not exactly moral, and the winners obviously are not going to self flagellate for every bad thing they did when they win. Although some things may have been really bad and may be discussed, just not this way.
I remember reading "Horrible Histories", and the Dresden bombing was shown from a civilian perspective, revealing it was done by the allies at the end. As a child it definitely had an impact on me.
Now it does feel a bit like cheap way of shocking the audience.
It's as hard for me to say that allied terror bombing were justified, as it would be for me to denounce Allied command for using those tactics to end the biggest war in history faster.
And people like Reddit Lies, jumping in screaming war crimes like it's some gotcha or something are really annoying. It always feels like German apologia. Even though it may not be.

Yeah but also they shouldn't be jacking off to such things either

They shouldn't, but I don't really see people do that. I'm yet to see someone say that dousing Vietnam in Agent Orange was cool and orangepilled.
The nukes come closest I think.

Have you not seen the psychotic tooth gnashing about "Nazis" in the past decade? How many reddit tier shows about murdering Nazis, real and imagined exist at this point?
Nazis were a geopolitical threat that needed to be dealt with for a few years nearly a century ago, and yet we've placed them on such a pedestal of villainy that people desperately long for them to exist to have something that they can justify as the target of their dehumanizing hatred, just to feel a shred of meaning in their otherwise vacuous lives. The irony is that they've become as ideologically captured as the Nazis themselves were with the dehumanization of their ideological opposition, and that fact is woefully lost on too many soy-swilling r-slurs. Its not wrong to kill a legitimate existential threat, but it is wrong to gleefully applaud the psychotic depiction of torturing and murdering a hallucinated enemy.

To me its always seemed like people are trying to hold themselves and their own people to the same standards they hold everyone else. We use the justifaction of Nazis = Bad, but we knew nothing about the extermination camps at the time. Part of me thinks one of the reason we self flagellate over the Jews, blacks, and every other group under the sun is that we struggle to come to grips with what we did to win the war.

Ww2 was TOTAL BIPOC WAR. Like I'm sure there's some 20 year old twink in western Ukraine drawing furry art for a Bong or burger or @Marco. If you kill him it's a war crime
But in ww2 that twink would be drawing propaganda for Hitler. Which made him a valid target.
Know what I mean
