"They did it first" doesn't support the point, even when they're as bad as Russia has been.
"They did it first and continue to do it" is a pretty good reason in my book. The more decicive Russian losses are, the faster public sentiment will turn against Putin.
I hate war because it makes normal people say shit like this
It's the truth. Putin wanted this war and the Russian people have been indoctrinated into following him blindly. The allied carpet-bombings of Nazi Germany caused untold suffering, but they were necessary to break the German will to fight. Hitler could've stopped the carpet bombing by surrendering. He could've prevented them from ever occurring, if he hadn't started wars with all neighbouring countries. Just as Hitler then, Putin now can stop this war. And it is Putin that could've prevented this war from ever taking place, if he hadn't invaded. But he did invade Ukraine. The untold number of crimes against humanity have been committed by the Russian army under his watch and it was his decision to send over 600.000 Russian troops to get crippled or killed in Ukraine. It is his war that just caused this man to lose his wive and three daughters (trigger warning: r*ddit). I truly hold no sympathy for any Russian that chooses to participate in this invasion. Whatever happens to them, they deserve it.
No acknowledged historian believes that the strategic bombing of Germany shortened the war to any significant degree. The Nazi leaders didn't care and the civilians endured.
The Londoners didn't overthrow their government during their blitz, nor did the Germans during theirs.
Nope. Morale bombing by and large doesn't work and that's why it's illegal now. On the flipside you have German Nazis use that and say "Look at all those allied war crimes" -- but they weren't war crimes at the time. And the Nazis very much started with the bombing campaigns.
Have a Kraut video.
