He was a hero who saved the British Empire, and only contrarian retard faggots think others

I feel like this guy's existence was a cosmic humiliation ritual for the Brits. Their imperial run was ended by a fat alcoholic retard who enslaved them to the hated Yanks, killed off hundreds of thousands of his own people, then left the scene after establishing the path for the Windrush generation and the long-term wogging of the island.

What an amusing joke it all was. The national equivalent of giving a speech in front of the community and being attacked by a badger that tears off your pants and exposes your tiny penis to the world.

>Don't worry, dear! You won the fight with that badger! The badger is gone, but you're still here! Isn't that a victory?

This is Churchill's 'legacy.' No wonder people have started trashing his statues and monuments in recent years, as all of this becomes increasingly obvious.

they trash his statues because he was a racist (which is true) but he still is one of the greatest Brit to ever live, who was instrumental in bringing down the the evil child-murdering cartel of subhuman pagan nazi orcs, saving Europe in the process

From a military perspective he was probably the worst ww2 leader, yes even arguably worse than Hitler.

Britain could have won the N.Africa front already in early 1941 but against literally everyones advice he sent all British heavy equiptment to Greece. It was the second time Britain had lost all its heavy equiptment. A defeat like that would have costed Germany the war.

The defeat at Gazala (Britains most catastrophic defeat in ww2) was also largley due to Churchills constant intervention. He demanded that Auchinleck moved into a forward position to attack (because Churchill was facing a vote-of-no-cofidence in London) despite Auchinleck pleading that the British forces were not ready. After Rommel had broken through the line Chruchill veto that Tobruk must be defended despite everyone telling him that leaving men at Tobruk would mean they would be instantly captured, which is exactly what happened.

In the East African campaign he scorned Wavell for executing a near-perfect withdraw of British forces against overwhelming odds because Churchill would have rather seen thousands of British casualties just for the sake of image. Wavell later conquered East Africa with minimal casualties which Churchill immediately credited to himself.

He overworked his generals to an absurd level. Both Auchinleck and Wavell were assigned command of N.Africa, Mediteranian, Middle east, Mesopotamia, Palestine, India, and East Africa, meaning they had a command responsibility over an area of 5000 km. It wasnt until Montgomery that Churchill realised his mistake and decided to make N.Africa a seperate field of operations which greatly reduced workload for Montgomery.

There is so much more to it but basically Churchill was a complete narcissist who never accepted responsibility, always shifted the blame on others, always tried to build a cult of personality around himself (he did Chamberlain dirty as well), and his actions greatly prolonged the war.
