    WW2 was complex and nuanced, especially outside of Europe, and extra especially in the Middle East

      WW2 was complex but I wouldn’t use the word nuanced. Most people can agree morality in WW2 can be fully reduced to Nazis bad

      Whenever someone calls Hitler bad and Allies good it’s not a great look if someone shows up saying “well actually the Allies bombed Dresden too, it was actually all pretty nuanced”.

        I believe if your argument relies on the semantics of words, then your argument is pretty weak.

        The WWII equivalent of what they said is “Churchill was a hero of humanity”. I would absolutely disagree with that statement.

        Churchill was a monster, just less of one than Hitler.

          If Churchill was killed during WW2 while fighting Hitler everyone would be calling him a hero.

          OP didn’t even mention Nasrallahs actual war crimes which were backing Assad during the Syrian civil war. Just the generic pinkwashing.
