    Reminds me of history, when nazi germany and imperial japan would perform “reprisals”, basically, they would arbitrally round up random non-combatants, most of them who aren’t even resistance, and shoot them to death in “execution” style in public, as a way to “punish” resistance activities.

        Or drop nukes on civilian cities.

        Or bomb a harbor without provocation.

        What’s your fucking point? There were plenty of atrocities during World War 2. You just don’t hear as much about the ones the winners made, because history is written by victors.
