Churchill’s vision of a “United States of Europe” was far different from the European Union, which is a confederation, not a true Federal system, and as such, relies on top-down domination by a supranational Parliament. Another version of a regional United Nations.
I can understand why zero had it removed, but Biden?
Well, he didn’t say WHICH alliances he was going to repair.
She’s a hindu not a muslim
I’m currently at the part where Winston is traveling to South Africa to fight/report on the Boer War.
I think Sir Winston would be glad to be out of there as long as an illegal President is sitting there.
Britain is our closest ally and friend? They invaded us in 1812, tried to split us in the civil war by helping the south, subverted us with the Federal Reserve. Threatened to attack US merchant ships in WWI when we were neutral. Schemed to have us join them in WWI. They demanded US troops be used as replacements in British army formations under British command. Thankfully Pershing and Wilson refused.
In the 1920s Naval Treaty they demanded a vastly superior position over the US navy because they still saw us as a potential adversary.
In WWII we utterly saved their ass, but they prolonged the war by insisting that the allies screw around in North Africa and the Med. Ike wanted to land and push for Berlin much faster.
Their long history of spies and subterfuge infected our CIA with the Brit mentality. Their Los Alamos spies fed Stalin the bomb. The Brits gave the Soviets the engine for the MiG-15 as a gift.
We overthrew a government in Iran on behalf of British Petroleum by claiming the elected leader was a communist stooge. His actual crime was in not agreeing that all the oil in Iran rightfully belonged to England.
They were decent allies in the late 50s - late 80s.
Since Reagan, they have functioned as a foreign wing of the democrat
party.
The artificial oil shock of 2007 coordinated from London.
TheUr government SNC secret services participated in the 2016 FBI/CIA coup attempt.
Undoubtedly there are some fine British individuals and soldiers. They are our friends. But it’s a stretch to call the UK our closest and best friend.
For a thought exercise try to think of anything they have ever done for us that did not also happen to fit their own national interests perfectly. They are our friend when and only when it helps them.
The fact is they regard us as a commonwealth or colony to be used as their muscle to advance their goals.
And what led to the War of 1812? Britain was impressing our sailors into the British Navy during the Napoleonic wars.
And Churchill was half American. His writing on the US civil war is a masterpiece. As are hoes articles from Harper’s in the 1920s about his travels here.
One of a kind.
Careful there, Creepy Joe. MI5 knows where the bodies are buried when they helped the Obama FBI spy on the Trump campaign through George Papadopoulos.
One would hope that our relationship with the UK is not dependent on artwork.
She's a far leftist first and foremost, so the anti-Muslim aspect of Hinduism will have no effect on her--anyone who is an enemy of Euro-American culture is the Left's friend.
With a Baby Shampoo scent.
Hahahaha! That is great! Can you just see a mannequin head with real long wig hair behind the resolute desk?
