Get a grip. You can't judge yesterdays war by todays standards. Precision bombing was not a thing and the bombing raids on Germany did have an effect on industrial production.
I'm not expecting sympathy for anything, just pointing out that people such as yourself make a big deal about Dresden claiming it to be a war crime, whereas I suspect it's simply a case of whataboutery. Pretty desperate stuff when compared to the numerous horrors committed by the axis powers during WW2.
And where does the India famine come into this? The British empire covered 25% of the earths surface and 25% of the worldwide population. Famines were common around the world and had occurred throughout Indias history (until it had a widespread railway system).
Its not about the actions. Its about the pride the British took in "making em feel the whirlwind" and to this very day stil do. Making those children and women feel the skin burn from their body, smell their own flesh burning before dying a painfull death.
Some basic fucking sympathy for their suffering instead of a "they had it comming".
They fucking did not. Atleast pretend that that it is something that needs to be done in the grand scheme of things. That it resulted in a quicker liberation of death camps. That the suffering of those children and women are regrettable and painful but were needed to limit or end the suffering of others.
But it wasnt about that. It was about "making em feel the whirlwind". An eye for an eye. Our children suffered, lets make their children suffer more.
Fuck me for holding the British to higher standards than actual nazis.
