Winston Churchills words on the current Israel Iran all out war possibilities

Posted on 10/01/2024 7:46:44 PM PDT by big bad easter bunny

My dear fellow, in the grim scenario of all-out war between Israel and Iran, I'm afraid it is the common folk who would bear the brunt of such a dreadful conflagration.

The civilian populations on both sides would suffer grievously from bombardments, economic devastation, and the myriad horrors that modern warfare inflicts upon the innocent. The streets of Tehran and Tel Aviv alike would be scarred by the ruthless logic of strategic warfare.

Beyond the immediate combatants, the entire Middle East region would be engulfed in the firestorm of conflict. Neighboring nations would be drawn in, willingly or not, as the tides of war lap at their borders. The flow of oil, that lifeblood of industry, would be severely disrupted, sending shockwaves through the global economy.

In times of war, it is always the little people - the shopkeepers, the farmers, the schoolchildren - who pay the highest price. They are the ones whose hopes and dreams are dashed upon the anvil of geopolitical ambitions.

Let us pray that cool heads prevail, and that diplomacy might yet avert such a catastrophe. For in the nuclear age, the very fate of civilization hangs in the balance when great powers come to blows.

Way back, the Brits screwed the pooch in the Middle East, and it has never been right since.

“The streets of Tehran and Tel Aviv alike would be scarred by the ruthless logic of strategic warfare.”

Iran doesn’t have any nuclear weapons at this time, although they have a feverish desire to build a nuclear arsenal. They can’t do much of anything to Israel at this time. They have a completely inferior air force that would be destroyed in one day by the Israeli Air Force. Tel Aviv would take very minimal damage in a war with Iran, while IRGC facilities in Tehran and throughout Iran would be hit very hard by Israel, even without using any nuclear weapons.

Sounds like ChatGPT, not Sir Winston.

What do you know! My wife and I are driving across the fruited plain, listening to Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College. Larry Arnn has studied and written about Winston Churchill for 40-50 YEARS. He was part of the official Churchill biography. One of his most recent books is Churchill’s Trial.

Inside the Hillsdale Dialogues, there are dozens, or more, Churchill episodes.

"For in the nuclear age, the very fate of civilization hangs in the balance when great powers come to blows."

Iran isn't a 5th-rate power, much less a "great" power.

“Israel WIN.”
Yes, Pray for a victory that will finish the Middle East problem.
The Victorious must be Israel.
No other outcome will end the Millenia’s long strife.

Impossible as long as those who worship the false Prophet, Muhammad, adhere to the Koran’s teachings.
There will always be blood shed in the sands. It has always been and no one will dare to end the ages of slaughter. We are to expect NUCLEAR WAR now?
AND THESE PEOPLES ARE RELATED!!!!!
I don’t enjoy witnessing this conflict.
END IT, DAMN IT, END IT.

The Middle East was a mess long before Britain existed.

Could you please provide a citation/link for the text you attribute to Sir Winston? It reads like a Churchill letter, indeed, but it could be completely fabricated, or AI-generated, or someone else’s composition. I would like to think it was his. So, where did that come from? Thanks.

Did Churchill post that on the internet this week?
