what do you guys think about Winston Churchill



“We proceeded systematically, village by village, and we destroyed the houses, filled up the wells, blew down the towers, cut down the great shady trees, burned the crops and broke the reservoirs in punitive devastation.” – Churchill on how the British carried on in Afghanistan, and he was only too happy to be part of it.
“I’d rather see them have a good civil war”. – Churchill wishing partition on India
“A prize from fairyland beyond our wildest dreams” – Churchill on Iran’s oil
“I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against the uncivilized tribes… it would spread a lively terror.” – Churchill on the use of gas in the Middle East and India
“The Arab and Kurd now know what real bombing means within 45 minutes a full-sized village can be practically wiped out, and a third of its inhabitants killed or injured, by four or five machines which offer them no real target, no opportunity for glory as warriors, no effective means of escape”. – Arthur ‘Bomber’ Harris
“We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English” – Churchill
“My admiration for him [Ibn Saud] was deep, because of his unfailing loyalty to us.” – Churchill

we get it, you hate him, and you're being sarcastic about it. You know this is needless to say.

The way it's all presented, you sort of give us no choice but to not like this guy.Lmao...

He's dumb.

The bullwalker. Hes a Sagittarius. Just like me. Great inspirational quotes. He would deliver dialogues impressively if he were an actor.

He also called Gandhi a "half naked fakir." He was a brilliant man; well read and possessing common sense. He spent his time as Prime Minister helping England keep its morale during the German night raids, and fighting the spread of socialism in his own country after the war; both admirable.

Honestly, the European powers fueling an Arab Revolt only to carve up the land amongst themselves after WWI was an epic mistake. It’s absolutely correct to say that England under Allenby and Churchill contributed to the current political climate in the Middle East.

Poor Lawrence.

Now Otto Von Bismarck. That guy was a baller. Only had one goal in life: To smoke a thousand cigars and drink as much whiskey as possible.
