Lol
German's new anti-war party capable of uniting a quarter of GermanyYou are so easily amused. LoL!
When the German government falls I recommend that you get the hell out.

You win by keeping your own losses to a minimum. An invasion of Japan could easily have cost a million dead and wounded for the Allies.
The thermobarics are already fielded by the Russians. Sending in cluster bombs via NATO would offer an excuse to use them. The nuke power plant is also a bone of contention. Damaging it is not in the interest of either side. You can't really control the wind. Europe and Russia will be contaminated.
--- You reply, "Doesn't change the fact."
Your response to me was a non sequitur. It did not respond to my question.
"What war was ever conducted as a 'fair fight?' "
I don't assume that Berlin_Freeper is actually in Germany.
There are twenty-six cities in the US named Berlin, and one is in Rensselaer County, New York. I mention New York, specifically, because his "About" states he is a "Retired NYC Ironworker."
I've never heard of a war that was "a fair fight". Such a thing doesn't exist when one is killing and maiming people by the hundreds, thousands, or millions - or it is your side taking such awful casualties.
You are correct. The theme is being pushed anew, as if new. There is no "debut." MSN wants us to think this is "new." And a Freeper wants us to think a war can be a "fair fight."
Please allow me to repeat --- I posted this earlier in the thread:
--- "Read more at msn.com ..."
Thermobaric bombs. Nothing so new in this. Read the history as listed in a Wiki: "Thermobaric weapon"
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermobaric_weapon
We got 'em. Used in Viet Nam, as in Afghanistan. Yup. They got 'em. Russia, China. All whole bunch more. Yup. All God's chillun got 'em.
Even "Ukroboronprom's Scientific Research Institute for Chemical Products" in 2017 got 'em.
And, as the end of the Wiki observes: "all past attempts to regulate or restrict thermobaric weapons have failed." Boom.
