"In the Great War, we gassed with impunity but would never bomb cities. Now we abhor gas but bomb with abandon. Ethics of war are as mutable as women's fashions." - Churchill

TLDW: Nothing is a war crime the first time, or if you win.
Almost noone talks about the US "experimental" carpet bombings with napalm bombs on Tokyo, Kobe, Osaka and other cities, which caused more than 300,000 gruesome civilian deaths, left even more people injured, and almost 2 million people homeless.
Well, that’s what happens when you sneak attack a country. You get some not so nice pay back and some not so nice gruesome deaths.
@@DrDemented9885 Good job trying to justify war crimes.
I don’t justify anything sir I’m just telling you what it was and why it happened. Do you wanna think they’re war crimes that’s totally on you. But the Japanese are known for their ferociousness in battle, not to mention, they were all hyped up on methamphetamine all the time. So yeah, we kind of had to drop a couple of them on her. Why are you mad bro?

I like to say that the Gas weapons is truly the first weapon of terror equilibrium, as no one as tried since WWI to use gas against an opponent that is able to produce weaponised gas
a slight change in wind direction and...
this was an incredibly well written and edited episode. im sorry your channel hasn't gotten more recognition!!
Thanks for this Storytellers, I'm currently dealing with wildfire smoke and poor air quality. I can't imagine gas warfare, great thoughts on the psychology of gas used in war.
Both nuclear weapons and even plastic were humanity's Pandora's Box.
Internet.
Excellent review and great comparison.
Great video 😊
This was a great video I can’t believe the world is changing so fast
What movies were some of these video clips from? I recognize some of them but not all of them I'd be curious to watch; especially the one with Marie Curie.
Radioactive (2019) with Rosamund Pike
@@Garp74Thanks bud.
*Scientists and engineers can't ultimately control how people use their discoveries and inventions.* Thus, the question of whether it's ok to develop science and technology that can be used for weapons is ultimately irrelevant, as just about every type of technology can and does get used in warfare. You can *hope* that the pursuit of scientific truth and effective engineering will ultimately do more harm than good, but that takes a leap of faith. Of course, if you're deliberately developing infectious diseases or engineering torture mechanisms, that's awful, but for every Unit 731, there are thousands of institutions and millions of people whose work contributes to weapons without their knowledge or consent.
"Control" is an illusion of the highly civilized. Humans never have control of anything. Ever.
Would be awesome if you did a video on cillian Murphy and his portrayal of Tommy Shelby
I would jump though a roof with a joy man!
