    Apparently, he’s spent so much time with them lately they’ve taken over his mind. Or, it was ‘suggested’ that Churchill be sent back by someone else. Harris would be an obvious culprit for that.

    In any event it’s petty and stupid.
    A good deal of British like to praise colonialism while looking down on other Europeans for their crimes like Hitler or Stalin or even mock other Europeans for lacking colonies like Poles & Irish etc.

    Truth is the British Empire killed an enormous amount.

    Probably more than Hitler & Stalin combined.

    Just in India alone 60 - 85 million starved to death by British colonialism in 24 recorded famines.

    That's literally 24 terror famines, while Soviets had just 3.

    British also committed numerous crimes outside of India.

    The blockade of Germany after WW1.
    The Persian famine during WW1.
    The Irish potato famine
    Cromwell conquest of Ireland.

    Their Atlantic slave trade crimes.
    Their crimes against Native Americans, the Maori & Australoids.
    The Taiping rebellion & Opium wars.

    That doesn't make it better it makes it worse.

    Anglos are very much responsible for Stalin making it to Berlin first.

    Not just Lend lease aid to Soviets.

    But, also by Anglos d!cking around with Mussolini first.

    As long as you realize Pedo Joe has no say in these matters. Its all political theater.
    "Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." Joseph Stalin
    The USA has lost WWIV to China with no other weapons but China Virus and some cash to buy democrats.

    ^ Pure gossip and speculation.

    Name names. Who exactly in the UK is horrified that moving a bust supposedly demonstrates Biden is a rabid Anglophobe.

    Churchill may have killed as much as Lenin.

    Would a Lenin bust be appropriate in the White House!?

    Of course the French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Germans and Belgians were paragons of virtue. It's clear that you've a massive chip on your shoulder and have little interest in the truth. Makes you wonder why so many Polish pilots fought in the Battle of Britain, and indeed why millions live in the Uk now, any answer to that?

    If the Brits cared so little about human lives why did they force the Hindus to give up the abhorrent practice of Duri, got any answer for that? Indeed why did they abolish slavery, resulting in huge compensation payments to the ships' owners for many years, nearly the country in the process?

    You've singled out almost every R1b haplogroup nation.

    Yes, Western Europeans aren't good people.

    Some Poles fought for Britain & some even for Stalin.

    It was a matter of defeating Nazis.

    Almost all Poles knew back then Hitler was a more volatile threat than Stalin.

    Not that Stalin was good.
    Stalin was really bad too.

    Just the message has been lost to some modern Poles who believe Stalin was worse than Hitler.

    the old moderate Biden is brain dead. Obamatrons infect this administration.
    of course we knew this going in, but he pulled the wool over eyes of enough neverTrumps

    who says he can't? why so defensive?
    Maybe he'll put in a bust of Harvey Milk and we can further demean the old guard

    Most of the credit goes to Stalin.

    Care to field that one!?

    Using a Stalin bust for the same reason as a Churchill bust!?
    Being they both fought Hitler.
    you are talking miltary might. Churchill was much more then Stalin's land mass.
    He pretty much gave a stiff upper lip to his people in the Battle of Britain
    and kept any chance of suing for peace with Hitler from happening
