The RAF and US studied how to achieve this effect through incendiary bombs on cities. They tried many times but only achieved “success” a few times, creating firestorms in Hamburg that killed 46k and Dresden killing 25k. The firebombing of Tokyo, 100k, was not a true firestorm.

If the master ever died, he hoped that people would say beautiful things about him: that no one knew better how to keep the spirit of Christmas year round or was smarter about taxes. But mostly he imagined ingenious forms of “pay-back” against his enemies. #TolstoysTalesofTrump
