I see the US knocking out all of the remaining Oil & Gas operations in Iran and as a payback to Europe restricting the export of oil & gas to them. And ultimately a strategic transactional play with Russia.

Churchill did the whole appeasement thing with the Nazi’s and look what that got. He’s not the leader of leaders like people think he is. That was a big screw up.

Greece has been solid. Sent 2 new cruisers to Cyprus immediately while the UK sat on it. Plus we've docked aircraft carriers there twice.

King Charles is visiting next month, I believe. Should be an interesting visit with Trump. Wouldn't surprise me if King Climate Change Charles called it off at the last second. He knows Trump won't hold back.

Without Churchill as PM the UK would not survived long enough for the United States to enter the war and swing the momentum. The world would probably be speaking German or Japanese right now.

They're just like a petulant spoiled child. They'd be better off if we abandoned them to figure it out themselves.

We should just start using our bases in these NATO countries. Dare them to shoot us down. If their citizens cry then basically it’s that country refusing US NATO obligations and not on Trump for basically . If anything occurs however to harm our troops then totally pull out absolutely everything from that country used in their defense and straight refuse any further defense for that country basically de facto leaving NATO obligations for them.

It wouldn't shock me if we are using them.

But we let the politicians say whatever they need to save face with their woke constituency.

JFC! No he didnt you dumbass. "Contrary to the premise, Winston Churchill strongly opposed the policy of appeasement toward Nazi Germany. Throughout the 1930s, he warned against Hitler's aggression, calling the 1938 Munich Agreement a "total and unmitigated defeat" and a failure of British policy. Appeasement was actually championed by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain."

The world wars broke the UK. They lost too many of their best men. There are still great men there, just not enough of them.

World War I broke Europe.
