The problem with Churchill is that he was too clever for his own good. He was able to cause a lot of shit that he later could not control. He was no Stalin.Montegriffo wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 10:16 amI was referring to his father.Smitty-48 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 10:12 amJohn Churchill's progeny, commissioned to the Queen's Own Huzzars, who cavalry charged at Omdurman?Montegriffo wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 10:09 am
Yes, but his branch of the family were failures and disgraced. He didn't live at Blenheim Palace. His father died from syphilis in his 40's after a failed career in government.
He was never "disgraced" until the Dardanelles Strait.
As a rank officer he was great. Field commander.. no. Definitely not good as a war minister and a fucking disaster as PM.
The whole world was fucking insane. There were no good guys. Stalin was the one true genius, and evil as fuck. It's amazing that Hitler got the title of absolute evil incarnate and not Stalin, though.
