Churchill and Roosevelt could not hold a candle to this man.
Pretty sure the UK literally endured the same amount of stress and terror as Ukraine, given that the Germans dropped tens of thousands of bombs on their major cities for years.
For what it's worth, Britain probably didn't suffer as much as Ukraine has. The actual island of Great Britain was more or less secured after the aerial battle of Britain was won, and that took less than a year. Military casualties would go on to be comparable to the war in Ukraine, of course, and there was the ongoing difficulty of feeding everyone, but Britain at least had the sea and a massive navy standing between it and the enemy and civilian casualties were "only" about 70,000
ongoing difficulty of feeding everyone,
That’s true as the British government encouraged the people to eat plant-based meals to have enough foods for everyone to get through the ordeal.
With all due respect mate, I am British, I do understand the toll of the Blitz. I'm just conscious of the fact that Ukraine has basically been suffering the same conditions for far longer, as pointed out by the other reply. That isn't an attempt to downplay what Britain suffered, but rather to properly recognise the severity of what Ukraine is suffering. I'm sure I don't need to send photos of the damage done by Russia.
Look at the dates. Most of those are from 1940. The most intense of the attacks happened in a span of 6-9 months.
The war in Ukraine has been going on for 3 years now. Russia drops significantly larger bombs on Ukraine. Even important historical buildings are being levelled.
(Not to minimize what the British had to endure btw, war does a horrible number on you regardless)
Yes but Britain did it with the world’s biggest navy and a significant defense industry
Plus Churchill was a racist asshole.
Churchill was indeed an asshole, no argument there.
To be fair, both of them were pruned up and wrinkly old men before any war started.
