Which is beyond the point, although I will address it in my next response.The point of this post is that the only way to peace is a total submission of one side. The premise that violence only leads to more violence is just wrong. Decisive blowouts lead to peace, fair or not.
It's kind of sad when people who are theoretically smart and do know their history better than this bend themselves in pretzels to support mass violence towards a mostly civilian population.

You know as well as I do that your original theory was nonsense and doesn't actually hold up. It's why I really just bother to show up in this thread to say that, but there's no real point in "debating" you.

The only thing left is to keep pointing out that this is nonsense, so that you don't accidentally think you "made a point".

No you didn't. You spewed nonsense because you don't want to give up an untenable position.
