interesting example because we defeated Germany without nukes...
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> we defeated Germany without nukes In part by firebombing them indiscriminately. The way we won WWII would later be technically outlawed by the Geneva Conventions.
- dunekid 2y agoAs if dropping the bombs on Japanese civilian population would be allowed by Geneva convention.
- kazinator 2y agoDid you misread outlawed as allowed?
- dunekid 2y agoI didn't. But reading the whole thread again, I think the parent was saying even though Germany wasn't captured by nukes, it still was pretty gruelling to the civilian population. In that case my comment is not really adding to it. But I wanted to point that nukes were pretty bad too and even worse in many ways. There was a minisicule military objective in the use of those, but it was more of a threat to the whole world.
