“The carpet bombing of Buenos Aires would be a crime against humanity. It is one of the world’s great cities. Even the Nazis didn’t carpet bomb Paris. Hitler wanted to do that for revenge, but cooler heads prevailed.”
The same Nazis that killed tens of millions of people, including deliberate extermination of certain groups, did not want to bomb Paris due to their opposition to crimes against humanity? I am having very hard time believing that.
I guess my original post was meant to be sarcastic, but did not work. Anyway, the whole conflict is between UK and Argentina over a stupid island in the middle of the antarctican sea. They should be able to resolve that without bloodshed. If they do decide to hanky panky, at least do it through diplomatic means so that world economy isn’t further damaged.
“A crime against humanity” was my term. I’m sure the motive that drove the General Staff to override Hitler’s orders was not so much humane, but to avoid the hangman’s noose when the Allies ultimately forced them to surrender.
