    FDR and Churchill were like Pippen and Kukoc to the Stalin's Michael Jordan. And that's being generous to them.

        The analogy works pretty well then because Pippen was more important than Kukoc.

      Churchill England spent the entire war operating as Germany's punching bag. The man was a complete disaster at every level of leadership, governance, and defense. Liberals holding him up as a war hero for the next 80 years really tells you everything you need to know about the kind of people who have been managing the decline of the West.

        When the British Empire had more industrial capacity at its disposal at the start of the war than the USSR and US combined but still was beaten in production by both each.

        Just Churchill things.

      In fairness, the amount of lend-lease given to the USSR, while not necessarily won the war for the Soviets definitely shortened it. Though, it also made the Western Front that much easier so...
