Jerry Falwell Jr.: Trump is the next Winston Churchill

[GMantis]

Hey, Churchill switched parties often and was a failure until he walked into #10.

Churchill correctly predicted that appeasement was a mistake in the 1930s, the biggest call of the decade.

Churchill's whining about appeasement was as much bull as Kennedy's lies about a "missile gap". Britain and her allies lacked the military force to confront Germany; something Chamberlain's government was fixing as fast as it could.

False, it was Germany that lacked the military force to confront Britain and France, something that Hitler was correcting far faster than Britain and France were increasing their forces. When war between Germany and a coalition of France, Britain and Czechoslovakia seemed imminent in September 1938, several high ranking German generals plotted to overthrow Hitler because they knew that Germany would lose such a war. But the craven Chamberlain surrendered Czechoslovakia to Hitler, setting the stage for a much worse war in just a year's time.

"Appeasement" failed because the British and French decided to box Germany in. Germany invaded Poland, not them. They started that war. Read Buchanan's book on the subject if you get the chance, I thought it did a good job of shattering the narrative surrounding why Britain guaranteed Poland's hold on Danzig.

After Hitler had violated his promises multiple times, no one was ready to believe him and with good reason. Danzig was just a pretext to conquer Poland as part of his master plan to gain Lebensraum in the East, Hitler actually stated that the last thing he wanted was for "some bastard" to arrange a peace agreement.
Buchanan's book is extremely dishonest and unconvincing unless you already believe its message.
