This is a bad comment on multiple levels. It's factually incorrect: a LOT of bombs were dropped on the UK, and knowing that seems like a pretty low bar to having any opinion on the topic.
But beyond that, it's obviously ludicrous to reductively say "between bad guys and bad guys" and simultaneously complain that people don't want nuance.

- matthewowen 7y agoDresden was 44/45. The blitz was 1940. Please explain.
- ShlomoS 7y agoExplain what? Why do you think Dresden was the first time we bombed German civilians? The terror bombing against civilians began immediately after Churchill took power, in May of 1940: http://www.british-values.com/index-to-articles/bombing/vindication/how-it-began.html http://www.british-values.com/index-to-articles/bombing/vind... The blitz was in response to that campaign and began in September of 1940.
