Churchill.

Always had a hard time swallowing this, and so I'm glad someone's saying something about this. Also worth listening to are Shashi Tharoor's videos on this matter---https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/global-opinions/wp/2018/03/10/in-winston-churchill-hollywood-rewards-a-mass-murderer/?utm_term=.570b048667a1 

If we as a people truly believe in the equality of humankind, then we cannot be glorifying this heinous beast, or the imperialist British empire. If we must remember heroes from WW2, it should be people like Henry Wallace, VP to FDR, who championed the cause against British imperialism and called out the hypocrisy of the British waging a war against Nazi Germany while simultaneously propounding their right to own colonies that enslaved people. Who will ever pay for the 4 million Bengalis who died of starvation in 3 consecutive years due to the absolute lack of empathy of Churchill and the British? And how does one explain the glibness with which Churchill once remarked to Wallace that Anglo-Saxons were the most superior people on earth all the while pretending to wage a war against fascist Germany?

At this point, it is almost insulting to mention, but I will do so anyway, the fact that Churchill was also a completely useless military strategist. He absolutely 

botched his way through much of WW1 where despite being the Naval Commander of the much superior British naval fleet he could not do anything to pressure essentially land-locked German forces. His absolute naivete  led to the heaviest of defeats for the British at the hands of the vastly weaker Turks in Gallipoli. 

The Championing of Churchill because of his two podgy fingers is pathetic beyond belief. WW2 was 100% a victory of the Russians over Nazi Germany at an expense of life like no other state ever suffered. When the Russians requested for British to contribute to the war effort by distracting the Germans on the Western Front, Churchill instead chose to glibly occupy his attentions with North African states where the war was not really a matter of bother. This led to Churchill being completely sidelined by FDR in the meeting of the leaders in Tehran where FDR tried very hard to suck up to Stalin, whose only request was that Churchill be sidelined for this to happen. It did, as it should have.
