    The comment just said that you could genocide most of the population. Not that it would resolve a conflict

      A fair correction. I’ll counter than the USA dropped more bombs than WW2 total on Vietnam, including dropping 100,000 tons of bombs on a 40 mile² area and a) didn’t kill everyone, b) didn’t even bomb every settlement in that area and c) lost.

        Vietnam’s population was a lot larger and the population was way less concentrated. Tiny concentrated population is a much easier matter to “deal with”

          eh, I still don’t buy it.

          WW2 was gonna be over by the second Christmas, Ukraine was a month-long special operation, etc…

          Do you have an example on a similar population/campaign?
