    Remember that at the time this speech was delivered, a war weary American public did not want to hear it. But for a second time in the 20th Century Churchill "saw it all coming" and for the second time and for a second time he "cried aloud" and for a second time he was right.

      @@duckhawkninja3614 I suspect the nuance is probably not lost at all, just weighed up, judged and found to be wanting. If we imagine at the map of that war, we'll find the ideas hierarchy behind such actions, belonged not in the west, on that map of WW2 in Europe, but on the eastern side of Germany, yet west of Japan

      @@rd-wj3sh In my experience with every historical figure there are only two major camps of opinions people put in comment sections Those who see the figure as pure evil and those who see any criticism of that figure as a personal attack on themselves, their values, and their culture. From what I’ve seen both camps are in equal number and are equally harmful to objective historical analysis.
      For instance if you point out that say Thomas Jefferson outlawed the transatlantic slave trade in America you’ll piss off his haters, but if you point out that he r&ped a 14 year old slave girl and enslaved his own children you’ll piss off his sycophants.

      This is Roosevelt's fault, Churchill wanted to open a front in the Balkans so that democratic allied forces would take great part of europe before soviets could take it. Roosevelt didn't agree with that strategy, seeing as imperial british ambition. The north american president didn't seem to mind Stalin and socialist brutality at all.

      ​@@MrSantana77 Correct, as did US General Mark Clark who wanted to turn right at the top of Italy (but there was no way through the valleys from Gorizia to Ljubljana to Zagreb). Churchill wanted America to nuke Moscow to liberate Eastern Europe - he was accutely aware that the UK had declared war to secure Poland's existence, only to see her independence lost to Moscow's fist.
      Roosevelt resented imperialism and the existence of the British Empire, and thought Churchill represented the worst of this. He cosied up to Stalin and made fun of Churchill, not seeing how bad Stalin was. What an incredible shame. Churchill saw it only too clearly.
