To quote Sir Arthur "Bomber" Harris, Marshall of the RAF during World War II:
The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody else and nobody was going to bomb them.
At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put that rather naive theory into operation.
They sowed the wind and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.
Cologne, Lubeck, Rostock—Those are only just the beginning.
We cannot send a thousand bombers a time over Germany every time, as yet.
But the time will come when we can do so.
Let the Nazis take good note of the western horizon.
There they will see a cloud as yet no bigger than a man’s hand.
But behind that cloud lies the whole massive power of the United States of America.
When the storm bursts over Germany, they will look back to the days of Lubeck and Rostock and Cologne as a man caught in the blasts of a hurricane will look back to the gentle zephyrs of last summer.
It may take a year. It may take two.
But for the Nazis, the writing is on the wall.
Let them look out for themselves. The cure is in their own hands.
If this is what is needed to stop Russia if they keep attacking Ukraine and then attack us, then let it be done. We can feel sorry for them after the war. But now would not be the time for us to feel sorry for them: they support this war, so let's see how much they support it when it comes to their own home.
It is like it with Germany back in the days: they didn't believe they were losing the war, until they got bombed into the ground, stormed, occupied and divided. We had the mercy to rebuild and democratise them and make them one of our own. One of the Free West. Russia today would not accept losing the war, until it comes to their own homes. And if they would attack NATO, then let those battles not be fought on the borders or in the Baltic, but in St-Petersburg, Königsberg and deeper inside Russia. And when they lose it, treat them no different from how Germany was treated.
