    No it wasn’t. Neither was Fukushima or Nagasaki. All of them war crimes. The Nuremberg trials were justified.

      Were we supposed to negotiate with them further? We should’ve avoided firebombs on wooden cities like Dresden and Tokyo, but we were in the business of stopping fascism. Every dead civilian was the fault of the fascists.

      You don’t get the Nuremberg trials without allied bombing campaigns, just expansions of the Nuremberg laws.

      And I assume you have atrocious opinions on the Spanish civil war and 1930s German street fights.

      I’m pretty sure Fukushima was their own damn fault with poorly designed back up generator layouts and a seawall that was too low…
