>One of the most incompetent military commanders in British history
>Responsible for hundreds of thousands of Britons being sent to pointless deaths, to attack pointless targets
>Many innocent civilians were incinerated in the attacks of non-military targets
>The fiasco of HMS Prince of Wales and Singapore which is 100% Churchill's fault; he overruled the military and sent all those men and materiel to the bottom of the sea for no reason, without a second thought
>Pawned off the entire British empire, complete with gold reserves gathered over hundreds of years, to the Americans - who then bankrupted Britain with war reparations
>While Stalin got lend-lease FOR FREE
>Notorious for sending out "defend to the last man" orders when it was utterly pointless (e.g., Singapore again), and would lead to pointless slaughter
>Very generous with the lives of other people
>Was also drafting "resistance at any cost" plans to defend the British isles with suicide bombers
>Again, he would not be the one suicide bombing anyone
>Churchill's contribution to history is refusing to talk peace with Hitler under any circumstances (that's the most important thing he did)
>But just about every single time he intervened in military matters - he overruled competent people and caused unnecessary slaughter on both sides
>Outright ordered the bombing of innocent civilian housing instead of industrial targets
>Appointed a guy whose main contribution to the war was trying to cancel radar research
>Operation Vegetarian
>Operation Unthinkable
