Pat Buchanan On Antiwar Radio Part 1 of 5

Pat Buchanan, political analyst, columnist and author of Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World, discusses the British politicians' colossal blunders that led them into World War I and II and the collapse of their empire, the consequences of American intervention in WWI and imposition of the Versailles Treaty, Hitler's motive to regain the lands lost in the east and willingness to forsake former German provinces in the west out of his desire to avoid war with England and France, what really happened at Munich, the folly of the British war guarantee to Poland during their dispute with Hitler over Danzig and the real lessons of the second World War.

Pat Buchanan is an American politician, author, syndicated columnist and broadcaster. Buchanan was a senior adviser to American presidents, Nixon, Ford and Reagan, and was an original host on CNN's Crossfire. He sought the Republican presidential nomination in 1992 and 1996.

Really great stuff. Y'all cover a whole ton of topics. Well done. I love Pat - he's a true warrior. Take it easy

the claim that jan smuts was "so happy" is borderline ridiculous.

he had little choice in the matter. the formerly independent states of the transvaal and orange free state had been forcibly annexed into the british empire out of diamond and gold lust. though they resisted rather spiritedly, the boers were beaten.

smuts recognised this, and realised that further conflict with britain would only bring more killings and concentration camps.

Yes I agree with person below me.

Nice use of Iron Maiden in the intro, but I find it hard to listen to "Aces High" while knowing what the UK did to Germany (and to themselves) because of their criminally stupid leadership.

the way Buchanan decribe Hitler is disgusting and he keeps talking about '6 million jewish holocaust' in his book! WTF? Buchanan made excellent points of war diplomacy in his book but as a biography of Hitler and critique of the National Socialism, he's another dying old school. 'the Unnecessary War' is not a history book but it is another Buchanan's political argument using WW2. as we know, he has never written a history or WW2 history book! He's a political commentator!

Pat Buchanan forgets japan, they invaded china and had xpanionist ambitions in the far east years b4 hitler invaded poland. It was japan that brought the US into the war not hitler .So how was this avoidable? The US should have remained neutral even after pearl harbour? This is wot Pat Buchanan means by an unnecassary war? i dont get it

[dipshit5]

Pat make several good points. I wish he was our president (USA). The British Empire should not have been sacrificed for the Soviet Union's dominance of Eastern Europe. Britain went to war for Poland. Poland was invaded by USSR . What went wrong ?

Pat Buchanan is a imbecilic pedant, whose hilariously idiotic book would be an excellent comedic work if it weren't so insulting, both personally and intellectually.

yet despite the fact that they were outnumbered, the germans still did very well. kamerun survived for 18 months despite being largely cut off from germany. and east africa is the only theatre of war which is regarded as an overall german victory.

germany wanted more strategic colonies. this is why they accepted two corridors in central africa in exchange for giving up claims to morocco, so that kamerun would have more river access. the borders of modern namibia are also a result of this.
