David Irving found evidence Churchill deployed a similar tactic against Germany at the beginnings of WW2.

The British people were initially reluctant to the war, so RAF were ordered to bomb civilian targets in Germany, to enrage German civilians into demanding revenge bombing against civilian targets in Britain. Which Churchill knew, once begun, would ignite the British public to the fight.

Whatever version is being deployed against the Russian Federation, now such practices are understood, I doubt the Russian people will be so predictable.

Churchill wasn't the Prime Minister until 10 May 1940. The allegation is fatuous.

You are incorrect-when the first British bombing occurred Churchill was PM: "The first RAF raid on Berlin took place on the night of 25 August 1940; 95 aircraft were dispatched to bomb Tempelhof Airport near the centre of Berlin and Siemensstadt, of which 81 dropped their bombs in and around Berlin, and while the damage was slight, the psychological effect on Hitler was greater."

Strategic bombing (military targets) began them 'civilian bombing' by the Brits didn't occur till August 1940 when Churchill was PM.

You calling me a 'bimbo' only illustrates your complete lack of intellectual ammo.

The guy coming in late was rude to interrupt the interviewer. Bouncing in late saying 'sorry I got caught in traffic', is unprofessional. He should've remained out of the interview or at least waited to make his point instead of taking over the conversation. The irritation on the interviewer's face was obvious. I was mad and I'm not in the interview.

I like your idea of Thucydides Trap Trap. It really is a barren idea based on utterly banal history. America really needs to stop comparing itself to a fantasy of the 'Ancient World'. Thanks for all you do.

OH, let's be clear. US, UK, ISRAEL = axis of pure evil. Neocons/libs started by and primarily run by JEWS. They are so fond of thinking that countries did well when they were in them, but when they got kicked out those countries waned. Um, they got kicked out because they were destroying the countries from within. THEY ARE CANCER. THEY OPERATE LIKE CANCER. Everywhere they go, they grate against the culture, esp western white xian cultures. over and over again.
