If you don't want your own civilian populations bombed you shouldn't massacre civilians within your own territory and if you don't want to be expelled from a region you shouldn't try to seize it by conquest Play silly games win silly prizes

One war crime doesn't justify another. Not to mention that strategic bombing doesn't even work. It is a phenomenal waste of resources. Ethnic Germans, along with many other minorities, had spent centuries in the East before being removed at gunpoint.

Because after those centuries, when Hitler started pushing an ethnonationalist line of using minority German populations as a pretext for conquest those populations went right along with it

Arthur's whole point is that at a certain point everyone over the age of majority, at the very least, loses the pretense of "innocence". The whole idea that women aren't ALSO upholders of fascism or other violent regimes is ridiculous and misogynist, tbh.

So every kid we burned alive at Dresden had it coming? What about Hiroshima? Did those kids deserve to watch their skins slough off after the A-bomb, I mean assuming they’d once waved a flag in a parade or something? Justifying the military murder of civilians is disgusting.

No, which is why i said "over the age of majority". Do you understand what that means? (I certainly don't think the bombing of Hiroshima was acceptable. Dresden, i'm a lot more ambivalent about.)

The big difference between Dresden and Hiroshima is that Imperial Japan's worst atrocities were carried out on foreign soil whereas Dachau was right in the heart of Germany, a suburb of Munich

By the time of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings the Japanese forces had withdrawn to the Home Islands and their captive populations liberated By contrast, in the West, the Final Solution kept on chugging along and the smoke from the crematoria kept rising till the war's end

Yes. I also do not support nuclear weapons AT ALL, regardless, frankly. Conventional bombing of Hiroshima, i might STILL be more ambivalent about? I'll never support nukes. Not for any reason.

Yeah, i don't really agree, because of the knock-on effects to everything that isn't people. What people do to each other is their own business but poisoning everything for generations is Not Great.
