re: Winston Churchill is no better than Adolf Hitler says Indian politician Dr Shashi Tharoor

Depending on your viewpoint Winston Churchill could be viewed many ways.

He was ruthless and cut throat and manipulative. But he with much assistance over game the axispowers.

He manipulated a way to get lots of arms from us without us being in the war, which stimulated our economy.
But then the whole Pearl Harbor tragedy which brought us into the war was very serendipitous and convenient.

Winston chiurchill also recieved secret correspondence from Adolph hitler trying to end the war earlier on. In like 41 or 42 . He could have stopped there but that wasn't in his nature.
Most people don't remember that He moved into the White House and basically made himself co president. Ordering the White House staff around like he owned the place. Drinking scotch and smoking cigars in his under garments out in the open. Can you imagine that in today's world.. In any country?

Also some of the American people even celebrities who helped with the USO effort received the British cross / were knighted ... I wonder what this grand service to Britain was. Normal generals and military weren't honored thusly and not every USO or celebrity. In Particular I refer to Bob Hope the king of American media at the time able to travel to all of the American camps during the war. Would have been really easy to transfer information through him or for him to gain information.


After the blitzkreig Winston Churchill was not ready for the tchnology hitter had and he acquired the US and its patriots to get the job done.

So there are definitely multiple sides one black one white, and one shade of gray.
