Was it satanic to nuke the Japanese and bomb Dresden? Or is it only satanic to kill Russians?

Tailgunner Joe,


Japan's two "birthday presents" for The Rape of Nanking, Pearl Harbor, Battan, et al ... were especially well-deserved ...

Were tens of thousands of German civilians killed at Dresden (et al) ? Yes. My opinion is that is was fitting retribution for the Gas Chambers and Holocaust (BTW, I'm "not" Jewish).


What I meant about the "Satanic" murder of Russian civilians referred to how many ten-of-millions the United States would have have "forced" to kill (25-100 cities) before "Uncle Joe Stalin" would have ever surrendered ...



And ... for whatever it's worth ... I believe General Patton probably grasped the same truth before he (unexpectedly) was killed in the automobile accident.

Patton clearly knew that the Socialists had to be stopped ... but perhaps not (between 1945-1955) at the cost of 25 million Russian dead.

Stalin and Hitler ? Yes.

Patton and Churchill ? Absolutely Not !
