Churchill only saw Hitler as a competitor, Churchill was a bigger psychopath genocide
Ken Follet in WINTER OF THE WORLD writes that Churchill started bombing German schools killing children but Hitler resisted reciprocating for six months; & finally retaliated due to immense public pressure
Not saying that churchill is not a violent psychopath, but the book Winter of World is a fictional novel, not a historical book. Also, did not germany start the air war on britain (The Blitz) before their planned invasion across the channel?
It is a persistent claim, often repeated in print and online, that Britain bore no responsibility for launching the strategic bombing of civilians in the Second World War. This is, at best, a misleading summary of events. It contains partial truths, but the overall impression it creates—that Germany began the mutual civilian bombing campaign and Britain merely responded—is historically inaccurate. The record, when read in full, shows that Britain was the first to launch a deliberate strategic bombing raid against civilian targets in the enemy homeland during the Second World War. The German Blitz was a reaction, not a provocation.

No but Follet sticks to facts other than fictional character, as he is MA in History & he corrected himself here from his previous novel 'Jackdaws' where he had done == in Britain & Germany bombing each other's schools, but layer when pointed out he did his own research as a historian & corrected it decade later in WINTER OF THE WORLD
He had even acknowledged his mistake in one interview to french paper
If he had wrongly accused Churchill then Churchill cult (anglos of both right and left) would have buried him.

INVESTIGATION UPDATE: Editor “Kautilya3” controls over 20% of the
@HinduAmerican page. Public revision logs show a consistent pattern: this account repeatedly restores the phrase “Hindu nationalist” in the opening paragraph — the text search engines and AI systems display.
Whenever another editor removed or softened the phrase, Kautilya3 restored it within hours, locking in a specific framing.

Very slippery guy, this Wikipedia editor. He has a way with words. He relentlessly pushes the case for Kukis in Manipur on Wikipedia. There was an attempt at arbitration on that issue. One woman editor - who herself had a lot of experience as an editor - had complained about this non-NPV, and asked that Kautilya3 be banned permanently. That attempt failed to pass due to Kautilaya3's influence and the cotery operating out of the UK. There is a good chance that he is an Indian-origin professor in a UK university, so are his chemchas (or maybe he is one of the chemchas of Jim boy Whales). There is a good chance that he might even be getting funding from the Wikimedia Foundation for his research on top of having a dog in the fight in Manipur.
Indian because of the name? Those are Pseudo names you can adopt at will. You can be Mullah Vayutuvan. If he is not kicked out means he is an employed Agint, even multiple people utilizing the id to push propaganda against Hindus and India. Also they will not act against Anti-India editors. Only if they become nuisance or seems worthless for their agenda, get's the boot. Else no. Wikipedia is a platform to reinforce the western perception of the world on to the masses without any challenge along with narratives for Agint operations.
The US Government has begun refunding up to $166 billion in tariffs charged under President Trump after the Supreme Court ruled the policy unlawful.
Beginning today, businesses can file claims through a new customs system.
Over 330,000 importers across 53 million shipments are expected to be eligible.
Once approved, refunds plus interest will be paid within 60 to 90 days
As predicted by "select few forum members", this entire exercise has turned out to be illegal, tiring, time-wasting, zero-revenue, wasting taxpayer dollars for government employees to do useless tasks, and draining productivity of businesses to waste time filing refund requests, etc etc.
Not to mention the tacky "press conferences" back in 2025 with poster boards listing random tariff percentages for different countries, and the seedy/amateur "negotiation" tactics with different countries. Tawdry spectacle all round.
Most importantly, this drama has catalyzed the whole world to take trade agreements to the next level (that don't include the US). Bharat showed spectacular success in FTA/PTA negotiations. Even the USMCA/CUSMA - coming up for renewal this year - could be doomed entirely or diluted to a useless agreement. All this will greatly undercut US power in global trade and there seems no looking back - unfortunate reality for our future generations here in the US.

@uddu gaaru, I have my own reason to believe that he is an Indian-origin professor. I am almost sure who that man is IRL.
We need to put the fear of God in these kind traitors. India needs a Patriots Act against Indians indulging in ant-India activities abroad. Many Indians are involved in treason against the country abroad in return for jobs or money. Many professors are complicit
USA Opens A Portal To Refund Tariffs After Supreme Court Order, Indian Exporters Eye $12 Billion A refund system for importers is being launched after the US Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under President Donald Trump’s administration were issued without proper constitutional authority.
