This feels a bit like nitpicking about the description of the dining hall layout of a post about the titanic sinking, but I don't get these units. Well, specifically I don't get the inclusion of hiroshima & nagasaki. The US technically dropped 10 tons of ordinance on those cities; but if you're looking at the TNT rating, it was about 40 kilotons total.
I looked it up and you are correct. It is about 35-40 kiloton yield for those two bombs. The graph at 15 kilotons is incorrect.
I also looked up the london number. That was 20000 bombs dropped. German bombers at the time carried 500kg and 250kg bombs, so the 20k number is too high.
For context, Russia has dropped 50000 bombs in Ukraine, with the typical size being 1500kg. So thats about 75k in bombs.
Damn according to this chart Netanyahu is magnitudes more evil than Hitler. I think instead of using Nazis & Hitler to represent fascist we should start using Israelis & Netanyahu.
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and builds elaborate death camps and ghettos to erase the population of an "inferior" bloodline like a duck...
There are Israeli infants, there were no nazi infants. It’s been intentionally muddled because of mandatory conscription, but there is a difference between the nationality and supporting Netanyahu. Especially for older Israelis who grew up surrounded by people telling them they’d never be safe anywhere else, or ones young enough to not understand what Israel is doing.
No quibbles about Netanyahu being an evil fascist though.
Zionism is essentially the same thing. Israelis believe that they should have their own Jewish nation which didn't exist prior to 1948. It takes some serious mind games to believe that you're not a Zionist if you're an Israeli.
"We went over there and fought the war and eventually burned down every town in North Korea anyway, some way or another… Over a period of three years or so, we killed off, what, 20 percent of the population?"

I was curious about that too.

Also, weird to leave out Tokyo...
