So Stalin killing 20 million or so of his own civilian citizens doesn't count as a war crime? It was a massacre of at least 3 times the scale of what happened to the Jews in Europe under the Nazi's. Not to mention killing hundreds of thousands of German and Polish POWs.

The Russians treatment of captured personnel and civilians was far worse than anything the Germans did.

I agree that the US did commit war crimes by deliberate bombing German civilians, as did my own nation, the British. However the scale of what the these nations did is dwarfed by what Stalin did, so the point stands.

And we bombed military targets , it just so happened that they were in cities

Nagasaki and Hiroshima were selected as possible targets for atomic bombs because they did not contain any targets of military significance and could thus safely be left intact to test the full power of the atomic bomb. At least a third of the deaths were Korean and Chinese forced labourers, and military personnel made up substantially less than 1 per of the victims.
