  2. Incorrect. Sorry to copy and paste but i dont have time to keep answering these far right attempts to target and humiliate true conservative individuals who opposed nazi and far right ideology and imperialism. There was a war cabinet. Churchill wasnt making these decisions alone. Clem atlee became deputy pm. Bevin, Chamberlain, Eden, Halifax, Greenwood, Beaverbrook, Wood and Anderson who replaced chamberlain when he died. So to blame churchill alone is just nonsense. Also the official 1945 enquiry on the bengal famine found the national indian and local bengal governments foremostly responsible along with the viceroy at the time Linithglow. With the imperial government(war cabinet) also criticised. Tbf the local government and national officials had used their famine relief methods on previous famines and they had been successful. This famine though was far worse than previous and needed much firmer action. It needed the confiscation of all grain/rice in the country as a whole and rationing introduced. By the time the new viceroy wavell intervened with this policy 1 and a half million had starved to death. Even after rationing another 1 and a half million died after as people were too weak to fight off disease. Terrible tragedy. The uk government/cabinet has to take some share of the blame too. Way too slow in reacting or maybe not realising how bad the situation really was? No social media/world news in those days remember. Plus there was a war on. Japan had invaded the neighbouring countries, which created the famine. They also had control of the bay of bengal and were attempting to invade india through the bengal area. Plus d day was fast approaching so any spare transports were probably being kept back for that.

  11.  @larrysherk  You need to reread history then. Putin been interfering in ukraine since he came to power. He has never recognised the independance vote of 92% in 1991 were all the oblasts voted in favour including crimea and the donbas. Despite the vote being recognised worldwide and by russia. He created this war to bring his long term strategy to fruition. To create a new form of his beloved USSR in a "greater russian world". He has tried through politics with yanukovych, his cloned puppet president, and now hes using his military. Hes also been using his most potent weapon. Propaganda. Putin state tv for all the ethnic russians in ukraines border areas to create division and make political gain. Pro russian oligarchs did the rest by financin it all, one even owning some ukranian tv media. So putin been involved since day one of him coming to power in 2000. Twice, the ukranian people took to the streets in protest about the corruption and the oppression that followed yanukovychs 2 election wins. The orange revolution in 2004 where voting corruption was proven. His "poisoned" opponent easily winning the rerun. Then 10 years later at maidan after 4 years of oppression. Changing the constitution first to gain more power. Then jailing his political opponent yulia tymoshenko. Appointing that media oligarch in his govt who then started sanctioning opposition tv channels. Generally cracking down on all opposition views. Then he went back on a promise to join the EU. From which maidan began. It began peacefully at first but as he started to used more violent force the demo grew in size and numbers and became more resistant to the violent measures. He then sent snipers in to shoot unarmed protestors. 122 died with thousands injured. No way could he survive that bloodbath. He fled the next day with the rada reforming and voting yanukovych from office. The previous constitution was restored and tymoshenko released. New elections were organised and petro poroshenko became the new president. Also evidence was found of voting corruption in yanukovychs palace casting doubt on his close but fair win in 2010. So putin been attempting regime change since 2000. Even attempting to do it in 3 days in february. Utterly pitiful.
