    For Churchill to still be able to pull off some casual humor and keep very positive despite his country being attacked is something to behold

    As an Ethiopian whose forefathers were ruthlessly attacked by poison gas drop by Mousoloni's warplanes, I was so thrilled when Churchill ridiculing him here ..." mere utensil of his master .." I have great respect for Italy, but what Mosloni did in March of 1941 remain with us as a lesson

      @@destubae3271 I had family that came to Ethiopia at that time, the propaganda was to exalt the fact that Italy abolished slavery in Ethiopia and to show that a new Roman empire had been born, despite everything the occupation was short and less cruel compared to the occupations of Rhodesia, France and the Congo

      The fire bombing of Tokyo killed more Japanese than both nuclear bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima combined. So, to end the most destructive war in human history; against a fanatical opponent that would not surrender. Nuclear bombs were the only option at the time. To save hundreds of thousands of allied soldiers from a full-scale invasion of mainland Japan.

    Parliament should have listened to Churchill's warnings about Hitler, starting about 1934. Memories of Paschendale and the Somme were still too vivid though, and the country and its leaders took a pacifist stance. We in the US had the same problem with an isolationist congress, until Pearl Harbor.

      I don't blame Chamberlain for trying to seek peace with Hitler he wanted to spare this nation another generational slaughter but going to war was the right call like Churchill said "you can't negotiate with a Tiger when your head is in its mouth"

    We the Anglo-Saxon powers should never of withdrawn troops from Germany our ancestral original homeland should of been upheld as a colony in equal dominion federal status within the English Empire after ww1 (caused by Serbia Russia and France invading Germany and Austria and Germany violating Belgium neutrality because England was running the Belgium economy and empire.) we English and Americans would of deterred Poland Soviets and France from aggression in the saal Danzig and occupation of Russia by Soviets if we had kept Germany as a basic law garentee of natural and economic human rights for citizens for Germany and England and as Mr Churchill FDR believed with Adenuer and Clement Attlee in the universality of human rights to personnel sovereignty supporting in aggregate support each national Democratic society's sovereignty by keeping together as Mr Churchill said after ww1 we could of achieved Nato EU and Marshall plan without war in 1939 over Danzig referendum to join Germany by stopping the Polish civil war boarder war and polish nkvd attack on Danzig thus avoiding Germany rearming to invade Poland by the Allies maintaining troops in Germany with one English Empire imperial policy of social democracy with Germany USA under the keynesianism New deal we could of as FDR said avoided war by avoiding shrinking markets by providing the German civic recovery with resources national and private good and services of consumption in a social market democracy meaning Germany within the English Empire and community of European nations would of been England and US Ally. Hitler could of been prevented from becoming Chancellor in this context but its true he hitler as he said in Men Kampf which FDR and Mr Churchill had read that Hitler preferred England and USA to be his Allies via kinship of Anglo-Saxon peoples ie Hitler said Germany was Anglo-Saxon rather than the choas of militaristic fantasy against England of Italy and Japan as axis Allies who recognition of Soviet occupation of Russia in 1934 led to Polish militarism clashing with Danzig referendum to join Germany Hitlers decent to treason against humanity started with his hypocrisy in making the pact with the worst war criminal in History Stalin who with Trosky Lenin and Stalin had occupied Russia and Ukraine causing the murder of 90 million people by 1939. I am glad Mr Churchill listened to Attlee and the Marshall plan to save Europe leading to the English Empire creating with The United States of America the EU and Nato a social democratic alliance to defeat Stalinism and Conservative zero sum ideology. Italy and Japan's militaristic expansionist against the English Anglo-American empire doomed Germany quest for the resources and alliance hitler wanted with Neill Chamberlain Churchill and Attlee and FDR keynesianism of the new deal which hitler agreed with in short the mussolini hirohito hatred of Anglo Saxon powers stopped hitler alliance with England and USA. The axis was the wrong alliance for hitler he wanted to join Anglo-Saxon powers but he failed because he made natural and economic rights only synomous with Nordic Celtics citizenship ie Germany and Anglo-Saxon powers hitler failed to agree with Attlee Churchill and FDR on the universal duty to uphold universal natural and economic rights for all human beings.

      Artfull Podger From an American, Churchill was the greatest man to walk in the 20th Century. Almost alone, he refused to come to terms with ‘that man”. Caving to the enemy was not an option, period. Wavering & indecision was not an option. He almost single handily willed his island and the dominions to go it alone and buy time for Western Civilization.
