Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
Oh they had an impact, mostly to murder German women, children and the elderly by the hundreds of thousands. There was some minor military significance, but overall one has to conclude that it was Russia, not Britain, that defeated the Wehrmacht. -

What’s the best area in Thailand for expats to settle for long-term living?
It all depends on you and your life style - hence so many differing replies. Being a UK "country bumpkin" my area of choice was Lanna and its Provinces of Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phayao and Lampang with their mountains, forests and lakes. I then moved across to Isaan (Khon Kaen Province) with its rural countryside. Sandy beaches, palm trees, condos, beer bars and prostitutes were of no interest to me. My choice, so no further comment from me. -

Marjorie Taylor Greene Criticizes Laura Loomer for Racist Comments About Kamala Harris
There was no single valid point in what she said. Yet you seem threatened by the fact that Harris has the ability to identify with many different people and cultures on the basis of lived experiences. Then you try to insult two very large cultural groups by quoting two popular food types as if that is all they eat. I think you missed out accusing her of eating cats and dogs! -

Crane Collapse in Thonburi Injures Motorcyclist, Suspected Cause Ground Subsidence
It is not actually a crane, it is a piling rig fitted with a hydraulic diaphragm walling grab. There has been a failure of the working platform, which maybe was never provided in order to save cost. -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
Churchill of course didn't need a program of extermination. The British had already done their extermination, piracy, theft when they made the Empire. Churchill had already benefitted from the British Generalplan Ost, the Empire was already established. Churchill's and Hitler's racism came from different places. I think it is clear that both Churchill and Hitler were deeply rooted racists. However, Churchill benefitted from his vast travels in other parts of the world and his exposure to other ethnic groups. Often that reinforced his racism, but it most likely also mellowed it a bit. Nobody can deny that Churchill refused to participate in the American ban on colour in military buildings and wrote to the Americans to tell them so. One could say Churchill's racism was not full of hatred as it was with Hitler at times. For the simple reason that Churchill came from the establishment, he was at the very top, in a very priveleged position in the hierarchy. He also saw himself as the head of the greatest Empire in the world. His empire was already set up. Hitler, on the other hand came from a nation that had been in constant struggle with people from the East. Germany did not have an empire to speak of. Churchill did not need Lebensraum, he had the Empire. Germany on the other hand did not. Britain had won WWI, Germany was humiliated, had large swathes of its territory annexed by Poland, Romania, Czechs, etc. Hitler experienced defeat in the field, not victory at the top of the hierarchy as Churchill did despite his humiliation at Gallipolli So Germany did not have an empire. Hitler was full ressentiments after WWI and the humiliations that were heaped on Germany. It was naturally that Churchill's racism would be more mellow, so to speak, not as vicious and full of hatred as Hitler's. Of course Churchill did not need to exterminate people, his British ancestors had already taken care of that, the British Generalplan Ost had been implemented. Indeed many of the world's nations today owe their boundaries to British colonialism. Indeed some of our problems today, like Palestine, stem from British resettlement policy. -
