I read this over the weekend. A waste of time, really, which was apparent when the author stated "Unlike Bush and Chamberlain, Churchill was never in favor of his country going it alone."

Total distortion of history w.r.t. Bush's efforts, and personally I would think that Churchill would not have gone it alone if he needed to, rather than roll over at Hitler's aggression.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Churchill actually go it alone against Hitler for a time prior to America’s entry into WWII?

The United States/FDR’s reluctance to enter the war did NOT stop Churchill from fighting Nazi Germany.

And Hitler wasn’t buying off the US with under the table deals.

As you know, Bush wasn’t in favor of going it alone.

A better analogy would be Churchill refusing to fight Hitler if he couldn’t get everybody in Europe to agree.

I saw this piece of trash in the infamously leftist Sunday "Outlook" section of the ComPost. The author has not a sliver of historical knowledge and is either totally ignorant of historical facts, or criminally guilty of publishing lies.

I just love the "Go it alone" analogy. Britain went it alone for over 2 years before Germany declared war on the US. The whole article was infantile; it was high school quality.

Bit unfair that.

Britain was on no position in 1939/40 to go it alone, whilst the USA could at any time.
