Or why no one talks about how utterly evil fire bombing is. Because that tactic was literally designed to kill as many civilians as humanely possible.
It was designed to cause a firestorm in a densely populated area that reached temperatures high enough to completely incinerate bones. People out in the open got sucked in to get burned to ash and those unfortunate souls who were hiding in bomb shelters were cooked alive and the lucky ones were suffocated because the firestorm sucked up all the oxygen.
It wasn't about destroying infrastructure, factories, railways or anything that was actually militarily important. It was exclusively about deliberate mass murder. Or in a single word: genocide.
Sounds like some kind of burnt offering! That's super weird!
Literal tornadoes of fire melting civilians. And the Allies were somehow the good guys while doing that and dropping nukes.
Dropping a nuke is more humane than turning a city into literal hellfire.
I'd argue it's still pretty bad and that they did it in addition to the hellfire compounds their crimes.
Of course. It's still mass murder. But comparatively 'humane' mass murder.
That's like squashing a bug vs spraying it with poison I'd think. Both kill it but one is definitely a worse way to die.
I find it funny that you never really see any pushback about the fact that the Manhattan Project was originally building nukes to drop on Germany. But the fact that nukes broke the Japanese and saved them from fighting to the last is lamented by every leftist "historian".
