Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
Actually without the US supplies of Lease Lend the UK could not have supplied anything like the amount of supplies that the Soviet Union required. The UK was fighting a war against Germany in Europe, Germany and Italy in the Mediterranean and in North Africa, Japan in Burma, India and parts of the Far East with the help of the ANZUK forces, the Indian Forces, South African and East African Forces and as far South as the Falkland Islands, and that was about the time when Japan attacked Hawaii and Pearl Harbour and the US joined in full time. -

Trump Harris: Who won the debate ?
Harris did more question dodging and face pulling. She said opportunity a few times. I thought she acted like a 16yo kid. -

The debate thread.
Trump is all unhinged. Doesn't even know how to smile. He's all just chaos and a levy of degrading insults. And calling the VP names during a debate. So unpresidential! -

What are the requirements exactly for credit cards?
Seems quite pointless to have a secured credit card, unless you want to build a credit score. Or you are planning for a disaster to happen in the long term. -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
I don't see why you would be struggling. The point made was very clear: Churchill wanted to retain the Empire. Germany offered a peace that would have allowed him to keep it. However, Churchill decided not to take the offer and as a consequence lost the Empire. Whether Hitler would have gone to war with Britain and the empire is another question, but looking at what Britain had to offer in terms of resources and living space, it's unlikely he would have invaded Britain. For what gain? He saw the Empire as a bulwark against Communism, that was Hitler's real fear. And Churchill too feared the communists. -

I am struggling to know what point you are trying to make. Whatever it is, your argument appears to rest on the assumption that Churchill's prime objective was to maintain the Empire. Playing devil's advocate and accepting this assumption, there is enough evidence to suggest that Hitler could not be trusted and that entering into a peace treaty with him would not have ensured the security of the UK or the Empire.
