He was the insightful Kissinger of his time, just with heroic backbone (and an Indiana Jones history to back it up). So no - not to be screwed with.

I still can't get over Gary Oldman portraying him as a wuss. Shame to you on that one, Gary.

He advocated for Britain’s interests first and foremost - like Trump does America’s. For that I’ll give him credit.

However, Churchill, who relaxed by building stone walls, (directed) the American’s (FDR, Dwight) to do certain things that in hindsight one might argue we should have not done. It is fascinating that our response to Pearl Harbor was to go and fight in Europe, sending poorly trained men to their deaths in North Africa. There were people in the feral givernment who believed Churchill was trying to get US to help Britain first preserve (avoid losses) and then restore the British Empire.
