You asked me an irrelevant question, because the original point, to which you replied, was not if bombing stuff did anything.
Wielding the power of destruction in a manner that produces positive outcomes
Is this even possible?
So you seem to believe that during WWII the bombing led to a positive outcome, a claim you make and that I challenged. Now of course you’re free to provide evidence supporting your claim, but I do not believe that the bombing led to a positive outcome.
The Russian march across Eastern Europe involved much more than raw manpower. Soviet Tanks were a force to be reconned with. Their use of artillery was inspired. Georgy Zhukov was a genius field marshal and outmaneuvered the fascist armies both retreating and advancing. He did not just win on numbers.
That said, you’ll find quite a few Cold Warriors who took the view - after the dust had settled - that Europe would have been far better united under a German military dictatorship than bifricated between NATO and the Soviet Union.
I’d argue that it did less than what Russia did in WWII: invade with overwhelming superiority in men
That’s irrelevant to this point. I asked you a yes / no question. You’re free to concede the point if you don’t want to answer.
