A terrible statistic. https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-hccc-worldhistory2/chapter/casualties-of-world-war-ii/ Churchill's record post WW1 'Churchill's attentions were also turned to the Irish War of Independence, where he supported the use of the para-military Black and Tans to combat Irish revolutionaries. After British troops in Iraq clashed with Kurdish rebels, Churchill authorised two squadrons to the area, proposing that they be equipped with mustard gas to use against the rebels. More broadly, he saw the occupation of Iraq as a drain on Britain and proposed, unsuccessfully, that the government should hand control of central and northern Iraq back to Turkey.' Air Commodore L E O Charlton refused to carry out that order. A brave man. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionel_Charlton#Iraq Nor to forget what we did to Dresden. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/world-war-two/11410633/Dresden-was-a-civilian-town-with-no-military-significance.-Why-did-we-burn-its-people.html Message Thread: The news channels are scouring their slebs lists to find contributors - Mary May 8, 2020, 11:07 am Re: The news channels are scouring their slebs lists to find contributors - Sinister Burt May 8, 2020, 11:33 am Re: The news channels are scouring their slebs lists to find contributors - Mary May 8, 2020, 11:53 am 3 million dead 1943 Bengal famine due to genocidal Churchill's exporting food and medical aid (nm) - sashimi May 8, 2020, 12:25 pm   Searching
