When you turn cities into rubble and indiscriminately target civilians, only to find yourself bogged down in an asymmetric war.
Tangential but there’s a certain exchange from the Battle of Algiers movie I keep thinking of.
Journalist: M. Ben M’Hidi, don’t you think it’s a bit cowardly to use women’s baskets and handbags to carry explosive devices that kill so many innocent people?
Ben M’Hidi: And doesn’t it seem to you even more cowardly to drop napalm bombs on defenseless villages, so that there are a thousand times more innocent victims? Of course, if we had your airplanes it would be a lot easier for us. Give us your bombers, and you can have our baskets.
I remember reading about WW2 German troops complaining that the Soviets were using dishonorable gangster tactics. Guess it’s a fascist thing where you act tough and invincible but then moan it’s unfair and cry for the hall monitor when you get their shit kicked in.
noooo youre supposed to line up in an orderly battle formation so i can run you over with tanks while you plink shots at them!!!
I’m just picturing some soviets pulling a nazis shirt over his head and hockey punching him in a circle
