Do you really think Churchill set the tactics used in the "wars" he was involved in. Or Mrs T over the Falklands.

Do you really think Winston or Franklin enjoyed killing French Women and Children when liberating Europe.?
More ball. Cocks from Himagain
When did Churchill. Execute 10 million
Or carry out Deliberate genocide
People sometimes don't realise what is going on.
Stalin more extreme French revolution type thing. Change the ideology and get rid of people who might bring the old one back. Also one of the reasons for wars - changing ideology. Religion is often reckoned to have killed more over all years than anything else and still figures today. It has tribal elements as well.
Mao generally reckoned to have done his country a lot of good in some ways. Most killed due to a famine as far as I am aware - bad planning.
Dear old bobby............ essentially lacks perspective on any subject he posts on. It's a much greyer world than he imagines and often hasn't a clue on what is going on or was going on at some point in the past. Typical press fodder.

Because there is no cure for stupid
Churchill's fault was he did not let Hitler invade us and he didn't let Hitler keep Europa.
Like Stalin he also wanted to bring his country into the 20th century. Not that I am excusing techniques.
The Great Chinese Famine (Chinese: 三年大饥荒, "three years of famine") was a period in the history of the People's Republic of China (PRC) which was characterized by widespread famine between the years 1959 and 1961.[2][3][4][5][6] Some scholars have also included the years 1958 or 1962.[6][7][8][9] The Great Chinese Famine is widely regarded as the deadliest famine and one of the greatest man-made disasters in human history, with an estimated death toll due to starvation that ranges in the tens of millions.[3][4][5][10][11][12][13][14][15]
The major contributing factors in the famine were the policies of the Great Leap Forward (1958 to 1962) and People's commune, in addition to some natural disasters such as droughts which took place during the period.[3][5][7][12][14][16] In April and May 1961, Liu Shaoqi, the 2nd Chairman of PRC attributed the famine 30% to natural disasters and 70% to man-made policies ("三分天灾, 七分人祸").[7][17][18] After the launch of Reforms and Opening Up, the Communist Party of China (CPC) officially stated in 1981 that the famine was mainly due to the mistakes of the Great Leap Forward as well as the Anti-Rightist Campaign, in addition to some natural disasters and the Sino-Soviet split.[
This guy is similar. That's the problem they do some good and without them would it have happened? Pass. Given power and control methods maybe not.

Of course there was.
Imperial China used to have strict anti-drugs laws.
The British Empire produced lots of opium.
China banned its import.
The British attacked and invaded China to force it to accept British Empire narcotics exports.
This spread addiction and did vast damage to the health, political integrity and economy of China.
The profits from the drugs wars made British generals rich, and propped up the British balance of payments.
Have you never heard of that?
There are some Brexers who think that countries which were formerly colonies will welcome back their former masters with love and respect.

The Japanese defeat at Kohima and Imphal was the largest up until that time, with many of the Japanese deaths resulting from starvation, disease and exhaustion suffered during their retreat.
Of course if supplies had not been diverted to the front line of Europe then the Japs would have had plenty to eat...
War it tough. Making decisions must have been just as tough.... Thank god there wasn't too many of you about. Otherwise we would be an all white nation of Nazis or Russians.
