Sure, just name a conflict that was resolved by bombing, with the exception of Hiroshima/Nagasaki- which im not counting because those were nukes, and Japan was on the verge of surrender anyway.

The comment just said that you could genocide most of the population. Not that it would resolve a conflict

  A fair correction. I’ll counter than the USA dropped more bombs than WW2 total on Vietnam, including dropping 100,000 tons of bombs on a 40 mile² area and a) didn’t kill everyone, b) didn’t even bomb every settlement in that area and c) lost.

    Vietnam’s population was a lot larger and the population was way less concentrated. Tiny concentrated population is a much easier matter to “deal with”

    eh, I still don’t buy it.
    
    WW2 was gonna be over by the second Christmas, Ukraine was a month-long special operation, etc…
    
    Do you have an example on a similar population/campaign?
