Was Bombing of Germany a War Crime?

[Bush92]

We will have to use this against North Korea, China...possibly Russia.

We will have to use nuclear weapons against North Korea and China?

Are you nuts?

Well...it's destiny. What other options do we have? Wait until Los Angles is evaporated?

Destiny- to nuke China?

Which has hundreds of nukes that can reach the United States?

That is not 'destiny' that is insanity.

Even North Korea- as asshole of a regime it is- is unlikely to actually attack the United States- since the only thing fat boy cares about is staying in power. He certainly will use nukes if his personal safety is directly threatened- but he also knows that the first time he drop a nuke on the U.S. his existence has a duration of minutes, not even hours.

So what do we do? Continue negotiations, build more THAADS, test them more vigorously.

Not just nuke China.

Negotiations have failed time and again. Time for action...and action now!

Liberal members of board have been saying that Hiroshima, and Nagasaki were war crimes. .

Which 'liberal' members are these?

Gipper is a libertarian/anarchist.

Bodeca and Gunno.

I can't find a single post by Boedicca related to Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

Guno/Gunno is not even coming up on the search engine

The firebombing of Dresden was basically against German civilians.

Liberal members of board have been saying that Hiroshima, and Nagasaki were war crimes. What about bombing campaign against Germany? Precision bombing I agree with. But, Nazi, Germany brought it on herself. My aunt is a Cockney from London and lived through the Blitz.

We will have to use this against North Korea, China...possibly Russia.

Bombing a country is one thing, dropping an a-bomb is an entirely different class. Nuclear bombings effects go beyond the initial impact. The effects last decades.

Seriously? Equivocation?

So you want to take action that almost certainly lead to the deaths of thousands if not millions of Americans.

And would certainly result in the death of millions of South Koreans- and for some bizarre reason millions of Chinese.

And you seem to be hoping we attack Russia too.....

The firebombing of Dresden was basically against German civilians.

And that is one of the reasons that carpet bombing is considered a war crime by the Geneva Conventions.

Don't be a chickenshit during trying times.

I don't think we should start a nuclear war with the third most powerful nuclear nation in the world- just because you are off your meds.

Yep...time for action is now. Why wait for millions of Americans to die in an atomic firestorm. I don't dig anymore Pearl Harbors or 9-11's.

So you would let North Korea run your life. Tied down like Gulliver to Lilliputian's.

By that "logic" we should nuke everyone who has nukes now- Pakistan- nuke em, France- nuke em, Israel- nuke em.
Of course millions of Americans would die- since we can only prevent a few nukes from coming through....but the time for action is now!

Or we can continue to do what has worked to prevent the deaths of millions of Americans for the last 70 years.

As that of Tokyo. Well, Japanese civilians, obviously.

 

[miketx]

I think after Japan, we should have taken over the world.

North Korea hasn't impacted my life at all. Why do you imagine North Korea is running your life?

We have faced opponents with nuclear weapons for close to 70 years- have you always been such a snowflake- really pissed off that others have the power to harm the United States- and advocating we just attack?

 

[cnm]

Yep...time for action is now.

Care to borrow a rifle?

All wars are crimes. See gods. Well, some.
See man's laws before and after this.

But was bombing of civilians legitimate?

Well, to win wars. You must butcher better than the other.

To you question. Yes. Only the losers get charged with war crimes.
By their counterpart in Wars Of Crimes. Some of these (victors) do get
charged with a crime. But may only be for rape, stealing, and killing their drill Sgt.
See how killing or bombing can be justified.

So...was it a war crime or not?

It depends on who is writing the History books.



Having said that, war is a horrible affair. And a nuclear war might be even worse than that.

Read #9 again. The answer will be found there.

Absolutely the firebombing of Tokyo was almost as bad as a nuke as for casualties.

 

[cnm]

And undamaged civilian cities were chosen as targets for nukes. Lucky the victors got to write and apply the rules, eh?

 

[skye]

Different standards applied in WW2 partially because of the war crimes committed by Germany and Japan.

Germany tried to obliterate London and other parts of the UK without any regard for civilian casualties and England retaliated.

In WW2 collateral killing of civilians during bombings and the like, wasn't frown on.



Anybody who thinks that the US should make a first strike against North Korea obviously doesn't properly understand the consequences, irrespective of civilian casualties.

 

[cnm]

It wasn't collateral, they were the target. What other reason is there for bombing dormitory suburbs?
