Attacking the cities did not target the leadership; it was to terrorize the populace, who might then demand that their leaders end it. His biggest mistake was declaring war against the U.S. after Pearl Harbor and our response against his "ally", Japan.
You don't get it - probably on purpose. The point is that he had England on the ropes, and for whatever reason in switching away from targeting England's ability to wage war, he lost. Another concept you don't get is that there is no shortage of liberal "leaders." If Bloomturd, schumer, Feinstein, McCarthy,etc. all got hit by lightning tonight NOTHING would change. They're simply the turds currently floating on the top of the liberal anti-gun septic tank. Sink them and a whole fresh crop would float up.
Not that they don't deserve to sink. Just don't think that would change anything
