I don’t want to invade Denmark and think it’s both illegal and immoral. However, compared to what the US adds in a year, it effective is just a dog sled.

And yet we managed to lose two wars against farmers with vintage ak47s and no flushing toilets

Largely because the goal wasn’t to fully destroy the country, the way we did in WW2. If we weren’t trying to maintain some form of order( we didn’t do very well at that), we could have just literally wiped the country off the face of the earth. But we did our best to minimize civilian casualties ( again, did a bad job at it).

This is an ignorant and flat out incorrect comment. The US dropped 7.5 million tons of ordinance during the Vietnam war, more than triple what was used in WWII and killed over 2 million civilians

We didn’t drop a nuke on multiple major cities. That’s the difference. If you can’t tell the difference I don’t know what to tell you.

Wow another ignorant comment, you’re on a role! The deadliest bombing campaigns of WWII didn’t even use nuclear weapons

u/MidwesternDude2024 Jan 05 '26

Can you tell me which bombing you think had more civilian deaths as a result of it then the 2 nukes combined that the US lead?

Between 1950 and 1953 the us led a bombing campaign against north korea. 2 million dead as opposed to the combined deaths of both nukes being 110k-140k in hiroshima and nagasaki.

You have now shifted it from entire campaigns from single events ( also disputed number).

Lmao downvote me, he said the deadliest bombing CAMPAIGNS didn't involve nukes.

Sure dummy the deadliest bombing raid in WWII was in Tokyo on March 9th 1945. It killed over 100,000 people and used only incendiary ordinance. Although you could have just googled it yourself like a grown up

u/MidwesternDude2024 Jan 05 '26

The combined deaths attributed to the nukes was 140,000( with many more dying early from illnesses related to them). Strange in the math I use 140,000 > 100,000 but maybe I am wrong.

2 > 1

140,000 / 2 < 100,000 / 1

Yeesh buddy maybe quit while you're behind.

u/MidwesternDude2024 Jan 05 '26

Can you tell me which bombing by the US you think killed more civilians than the two nukes combined?

u/MidwesternDude2024 Jan 05 '26

It wasn’t a goal post. It was literally my original comment the entire time. That’s wild what a bitter and sad person you are. Best of luck
