    Showing us that attempting to bomb a civilian population into submission doesn’t work. The only people who think it will work this time do it on the premise that “those people” are fundamentally weaker. You know - racists.

      That’s part of it, but it’s also just a fundamental misconception it seems everyone shares, that making life horrible will force surrender.

      And in fairness, there is a level of destruction that will do that - ask Japan about that.

      When the Allieds flattened numerous cities in Germany they already knew this. They just did it because they were pissed off.

      Are you calling the English and Americans racists now because they did this tactic on a much larger scale during this war? People are still dying from American warheads in Germany.
