Winston Churchill speaks extremely highly of the Ally powers in his speech discussing the Iron Curtain and his desire to unite the English speaking commonwealth with the United States. \u00a0Although his main goal appears to be a peaceful settlement with the Soviet Union and elimination of their \u201cexpansionist\u201d policies, he focuses much more on global security and the strength of the United States and England. \u00a0For instance, he opens his speech with the phrase \u201cThe United States stands at this time at the pinnacle of world power.\u201d \u00a0Churchill does so not as a warning or criticism, but rather offers praise and strategic help. \u00a0\u201cYou must feel not only a sense of duty done, but also you must feel anxiety lest you fall below the level of achievement.\u201d \u00a0Churchill is not berating the United States for laying the foundation of the title of \u201cWorld Police\u201d, he is instead offering support.<\/p>\n
Churchill\u2019s speech is seen in a very poor light by Josef Stalin. \u00a0Stalin asserts that the British are only mimicking the same racial theory that Hitler brought to Germany. \u00a0Stalin claims that Churchill\u2019s assumption of their desire to ensure the security of their future as a means of forceful expansion is inaccurate. Stalin is sure to mention the faith that he has in the people has no limitations and that they are much smarter than Churchill proclaims them to be. The two leaders have extremely different views on how each side of the Iron Curtain operated, and both believed the other to be incorrect. Stalin proclaims power to the people while Churchill broadcasted a message of national cooperative power regardless of the people\u2019s wants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
