Warsaw 1945.
So you'll excuse me if I don't shed a tear over Dresden.

Hospitals treat the wounded soldiers who will return to kill you. Civilians make the weapons the soldiers will use to kill you. You’re a moral idiot.
The Germans sure lost their thirst for war though didn’t they.
A far cry from the end of WWI when they were convinced they only lost because they were “stabbed in the back.”
Warsaw 1945.
So you'll excuse me if I don't shed a tear over Dresden.
The Geneva conventions the US signed as soon as they were formulated prohibit targeting both. Besides your earlier argument was that there was no such thing as avoidable casualties. Now your position is that they are avoidable, but we should morally not avoid them? That position is at odds with the treaties we signed. And with any moral theology I am familiar with.
Yes, they did. Now they are filling their country with Muslim insurgents because they were so convincingly told that they are guilty for being Germans.
Like the outcome? Playing next in the theater close to you.
Not to worry, I’m sure the Poles will let bygones be bygones and allow the Volksdeutsche sanctuary in Poland when the Muslims kick them out of Germany.
I am not asking for shedding tears. I am asking for reason. For the past 50+ years the Western system was busy destroying nationalism in Europe. That was a stupid policy according to reason. The Western Civilization is facing a collapse because of the diverse internationalist presumptions. The presumption of unique German guilt, in no way shared by other nations of the time, is the presumption that allowed the destruction of not only German identity but of any European identity. I am not here to defend Nazism; I am here to point out that with the knee-jerk instincts that are 50 years old, we are not going to find a way out of this mess.
Appreciate the irony. No, the Poles won’t, and they shouldn’t. So what is your advice to the German people?
No, you didn't. You are wrong quite consistently.
So when the Nazis were killing the Jews on the territories they occupied, was that also unavoidable matter of strategic design?
Also, would you calm down a bit? I am doing you and other readers a favor maintaining a respectful tone, — why can’t you do the same?
That is without a doubt the dumbest question I have ever been asked and won’t dignify it with an answer. As I said, you’re a moral idiot. No, let me retract that, you’re too stupid to be an idiot and from here on out stop posting to me and I will do the same. Goodbye.
So, bluster and swear words aside, you have no answer? It is a logical question.
You just don’t get it do you? You ask what has to be the stupidest question that has probably ever been asked of anyone and you want an answer?
There are no ‘’innocents’’ in war. Combatants and civilians get killed in war as a consequence of it. Sometimes by tragic circumstance for civilians and sometimes by design as a matter of strategic design and combatants as a matter of design also
I am asking you to apply this statement not to German civilians but to Jewish civilians, in the same war.
LOL!
Civilians I’m not making a distinction between religions or ethnicity. In my post I said civilians are often killed as a matter of design. That would mean the Holocaust, wouldn’t it?
Thank you for admitting that. It is a consistent position, even though I don’t subscribe to it.
So, if I may follow up: Was the Nuremberg process that convicted the top Nazi military commanders a miscarriage of justice?
I’m not ‘’admitting’’ anything you’ve got a problem understanding logic and as I said I’m not the only one here who has pointed that out to you. No, prosecuting any of the Nuremberg criminals was the highest form of justice. More than Nazi Germany gave any of it’s victims. You’re German, aren’t you?
