Comments by "Owain Shebbeare" (@shebbs1) on "Leopold II of Belgium: The Biggest Coverup In European History" video.

I went to school in Australia, and at a Lutheran school. They were quite open about Hitler, Stalin, various other dictators, tyrants and the problems of colonialism, especially British colonialism, which seemed a little biased given they were hardly to only ones in on that game. Nothing was ever mentioned of Leopold II or the atrocities in the Congo. Belgium is seen as a sort of quiet, anonymous Euro state filled with pompous EU bureaucrats, and not much else besides great beer. It might have been the school, the curriculum in the 1980's or something else, but this was never mentioned.

@trentbardy2271 I have no issues with Obama doing that, just so long as his own portrats can be similarly removed, as he was a serious war-monger as president. Speaking as a Brit who likes Churchill, I understand he was complex, made huge errors and whatever, and the same could be said of FDR, though Stalin was an out and out pig and bully.

Wojciech Pordzik Actually it was Stalin's mate, FDR, and the weak Truman who sold out Eastern Europe to Stalin. Churchill despised Stalin, was cautious around him, and wanted to subdue Soviet influence, but lost the 1945 election to that Communist luvvie, Clem Attlee who, in Churchill's worst was " a ver" modest man, with much to be modest about". Attlee then sucked up to Stalin. Britain is still paying for voting that fool in, but there is a lesson there: democracy doesn't always mean your guy wins.
