Obama can’t wait to see the movie.
I wonder what Churchill would think of how all of his efforts led to the EU and the Muslim invasion?
“I wonder what Churchill would think of how all of his efforts led to the EU and the Muslim invasion”?
Which of Churchill’s efforts/policies led to the EU or Muslims invading Europe?
I remember when England was a real country.
I am reading Churchill’s Magnum Opus 6 volume memiors of WWII.
It is a superhuman task.
Each volume is about 700 pages! Apparently he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. It is a massive sea of brilliant analyses of how he managed to survive and ultimately achieve total victory in the face of both the German and Japanese juggernauts.
Anybody who reads this massive work will begin to see parallels between post-WWI, interwar years, WWII and today’s appeasement modes by the West.
Trump invited congressional members of both parties to the WH for a screening - the first time I’ve heard of him doing this.
I don’t want to give money to Hollywood, but maybe an exception here.
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.
Japanese juggernauts.

If Hollywood is producing films that are pro-American, pro-freedom, why not support Hollywood. Reward good behavior.
Churchill had to deal with both the ETO and PTO.
He struggles (alone) to shuffle forces globally while maintaining enough of a reserve to repel an expected invasion of Britain (”Sea Lion”) that never came.
It is amazing to see British loss after loss and and ever increasing menace to Australia only to see the US enter the war and begin gearing up for a long term counter strike.
What one sees is that England stood alone and was supplied by FDR. After Pearl Harbor Churchill knew it was the beginning of the end for the Axis powers. Absolutely fascinated and his prose are what one would expect from the very elite of English society.
I am enjoying every moment.
Churchill advocated for a United States of Europe.
They were screening the Movie at the White House this evening. POTUS Trump invited both Rats and Republicans to see it.
Maybe they learned something.
Winston Churchill is one of my favorite historical figures but unfortunately, in my financial situation, I’m going to have to wait to Red Box this movie. Can’t wait to see this!!
Might be interesting to see who showed up at the WH to view this film.
He was GREAT in “State of Grace”.
An underrated gangster film about the Irish NY Westies.
I’m looking forward to seeing this movie.
“BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI”
