Wow! This is really eye-opening for me. He's not acting very scholarly and you can really see how he plays to the white imagination of what a militant indian should be. Good for you for documenting this. These and other videos of Churchill on YouTube have prompted me to change my mind about him.

I mean, you're wrong. North Korea invaded South Korea. China eventually did, but North Korea started it. On the other hand, he's also wrong, the USSR also agreed to the partition.

ward can be brilliant but hes still an asshole. what would have been so hard about saying "thanks for correcting me, your right, it was china that invaded., now back to my point..."

Stalin entered Korea to better his bargaining power in Eastern Europe, this is a complex topic. People write whole volumes on US - Soviet releations. Unfortunatly many Koreans and Vietnamese died as a result of this chess match between the two remaining powers. They don't teach this in highschool because its is to complex. They just teach exactly what the young kid in the video is repeating, North invaded South and then China jumped in. There is a lot more to it then that, study up!

It seems that this is 2 people talking about 2 different things. The guy in the audience is totally off topic, its like he was not even paying attention to the lecture.

China entered the war only after the U.S had pushed the North Koreans to the Chinese border, both Churchil and and that student are idiots, this debate is frankly embarrassing.
He was trying to blame the Korean War on the United States, when the reality is that:
1) The partitioning of Korea was a result of Soviet occupation of the north, despite no Soviet declaration of war on Japan until after it was defeated.
2) North Korea invaded the south with the support of China and the USSR, and when the U.S. invaded to push back the North Koreans, China intervened directly.
I challenged his assertion & he attempted to retreat into minutiae rather than deal with the war.
