Ep 052 "CG Excursion: Churchill: Imperial Bombast and the Death of the West"
Chasing Ghosts: An Irregular Warfare Podcast - A podcast by Bill Buppert - Mondays
Categories:
This is an episode to examine what Churchill really did for the West after witnessing the emotional & ahistorical outbursts by the usual suspects after Darryl Cooper from the Martyrmade Podcast appeared on Tucker Carlson on 2 SEP 2024.
I am simply addressing the claims of Churchill as "the chief villain" which I think was hyperbolic (Cooper accedes to this) because I think Churchill was one of many villains during WWII. I am a reluctant Anglophile and I think historical revisionism is a healthy reaction to triumphalist historiography in the West that has made questioning accepted narratives a scholar crime.
Listen to the interview yourself before arriving at any conclusions.
