    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.

      I think you’ve misread something. The statement I replied to was this one:

      The only bombing that actually led to results was the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

      In that statement, you made the claim that no other bombing than those of Hiroshima and Nagasaki did anything. I’m challenging that claim, which means I’m saying “I’m not convinced that your claim is true”. Don’t confuse that with me saying “I’m convinced that your claim is false”.
