I don't believe in wars (don't message me, yes there was a way to end your specific example thru diplomacy. Look it up on google)
Anyway I always go with "I admire you're bravery" because that doesn't go against my beliefs but still shows respect for what they had to do.
It's true, just search "should we have fought the Axis" and you'll find Aeao's beliefs.
We could've stopped the Nazis by... You know... Allowing Jewish people to move to America...
But bombs are cool too I guess. If you only want to be slightly less racist than Nazis and are fine with a lot of unnecessary death.
So just allow Hitler to take over europe and make an ethnostate through mass exodus?
If you're talking about the nukes, I agree, they were unnecessary as Axis Japan was already on the decline.
But to argue the entire war was preventable by just displacing jewish people is naive and borders on antisemitic.
There might've been ways to prevent the war from starting, like not destroying Germany's economy as a scapegoat for WW1 would have done a lot.
But after the Nazis siezed power there's nothing you could do to diplomacy the Nazis into being peaceful.
It's one of many easy things we could've done but didn't do. If you want a complete answer you can Google it. I said I don't have the time to list it all here but the information is easily available.
