cause of that pootang, son

>Nazi Germany
>Imperial Japan
>North Vietnam

Let's take into account the context of these bombings. At the time, no one cared about the lives of Germans or Japanese.

Because it was popular to hate the US at the time.

>sweden

Well, what did you expect? Also what the fuck were Swedes up to in the 1970s aside from ruining pop music forever?

standing up against evil is always popular

Because everyone was mass-murdering in WWII. By 1970 the world agreed mass bombing was wrong, and that's why the US mostly does drone assassinations now. Less collateral damage.

Because Karl Donitz and Chester Nimitz humiliated Nuremberg trial by showing that both sides conducted unrestricted submarine warfare - a big no-no - and that the Nimitz stated he did it against the Japanese at a far more brutal rate.

When Donitz was found not guilty because of hypocrisy, the war crimes of the Luftwaffe involving aerial bombardment was dropped in subservient trials in order to save the hassle of the German defense lawyers spending days dragging Harris and other through the mud.

Once it was all said and done, the general agreement was that bombing indiscriminately was wrong and shouldn't be practiced again, with what happened in the forties sort of a mass murdering mulligan. So 30 years later, when it happened in Vietnam, the outrage was justified.

Besides Mass Bombing wasn't concerned with collateral damage. People like Harris and LeMay were aware of the civilian casualties. They just didn't care or reasoned that civilians were combatants.

What a fucking idiot.

Here is the speech. Quite a beautiful little piece of rhetoric

Here is an interview with Palme by David Frost in 1969. At the time Palme was just a Swedish education minister

It absolutely is less. Obama's drone program has killed thousands of civilians, yes, but the ratio of civilian to combatant death is much much much much better than it was in the old days, when they would level entire cities merely to diminish the enemy's industrial capacity.

>criticizes terror bombing of civilians
Started by the Germans. Comparing these bombings with deliberate massacres of civilians is ridiculous.

Engaging in international diplomacy. You know, something the under age edgelords on this forum know nothing about.

>Nazi kill 6 million jews
OMG FUCKING HOLOCST BASTARDS
