So Biden obviously will be doing some good, a stopped clock is right twice a day, and that applied to his predecessor. However by early Feb. its looking like State control & restsrictions are increaasing. On a small but revealing matter he has already removed Churchill's bust. WC had many political faults, a direct enemy to the Irish part of my family a 100 years ago, his career would have been a study in failing except for the crisis of 1940. Had some Labour MPs not got their way by making Churchill PM, then the alternative was a peace deal meaning that all the Empire countries troops would have ceased fighting,leaving no country fighting Nazism.
This would have freed up the Axis Powers to attack USSR in full force & at the best time of year, April. Unlimited oil supply from North Africa & MIddle East. FDR unable to persuade Congress to support a declaration of war against the genocidial Reich. Holocaust taken further with the added genocides Himmler wanted,Jewish extermination was just the beginning of his plans. What the Einsatzgruppen did in Russia is actual Nazism.
This is why Churchill's bust has been in the Oval Office,making the difficult decision to continuing fighting evil & terror when it appeared unstoppable. The Oval Office should have MARSHAL ZHUKOV's bust next to Churchill,assuming that Stalin is a step too far for a President; which would be understable.
One of Churchill's most disastrous decisions, the lack of action on the Bengal Famine, is consistent with his mentality. Same time that was happening, certain German officers were able to have launched a full scale uprising,1943 was when a rebellion against Hitler would received its most resources & support. They got a message to Churchill asking what would be the conditions for peace. Churchill replied,"unconditional surrender." The uprising never happened. Even it had failed the chaos it would have inflicted on the Reich would have made a proposal worth it.
That mentality of seeing matters in uncompromising absolutes was recurring inc. the decision on the French navy near Morocco. For all his mistakes & some unpleasant attitudes, it was Eastern Europe & the USSR who saw what evil could be committed when the likes of a chicken farmer, a vacuum salesman & some ruthless bastards would do when given power and the death toll & torture would have been on a greater scale throughout Europe & Asia under the Japanese Empire if Churchill had not become the premiere
