she is a very ignorant irrational "talker" , typical of british who are living in a propaganda bubble and whose scholarship is as much of a joke as british military
We live her in US too. Brilliant, incisive and witty. Rare in academia, rarer still in life. She balences deep knowledge with a human focused understanding.
The Red defense plan was a logical defense plan. Nobody else had the largest global fleet that could interdict US forces and supplies in either ocean. A plan was beeded just to cover that base. Similarly, Britain had several warplans ti deal with different contingencies. Italian navy hostile? German navy hostile, French navy hostile? US navy hostile? Or different combinations thereof.
Stalin did not disappear for 2 weeks with a bottle of vodka! "During the first few days of the war, there was no strong central control, although contrary to later criticisms Stalin did not have a breakdown. Instead, he conferred constantly with his subordinates, making as many as twenty significant decisions on 22 June alone" (When Titans Clashed - How the Red Army Stopped Hitler - David M. Glantz, Jonathan M. House)
Correctly quoted. There is a lot of nonsense written about the first few days after the commencement of Op. Barbarossa especially about the complete vacuum in Soviet leadership. Improperly informed opinions are dished out as historical fact. David Glantz is one person who has tried to set the record right. The study of Soviet / Russian archives, which means primary research, has him to do that. Stalin perhaps felt betrayed, although even that is disputable. To him none in the West was trustworthy. As for vodka, he was rather sparing in imbibing it normally except on occasions. Do have a pleasant day.
Don’t normally find female academics very inspiring, but she never fails to force me to temporarily question my misogyny. Stunningly good lecture, as always.
its a very ignorant irrational lecture and it is so not because she is female but because she is british who are living in a propaganda bubble and whose scholarship is as much of a joke as british military
@@PaeoniarosaFDR was very anti British Empire. That is why the new senior partner formed NATO and global free trade for free nations, not just a narrow collection of colonies.

I could listen to her for hours. She's outstanding.
War is the greatest friend of state power at the expense of individual freedom and prosperity
I think she is the most engaging historian today on 20th century Europe
I agree. She also looks frisky.
I think she is fantastic, but I am a biased Canadian.
Without a doubt, she's one of the best!
MacMillan is phenomenal talker.
Тогда докажите, иначе вы обычный болтун.

Beaverbrook was not an American politician, but a Canadian financier and British politician - Margaret MacMillan seemed a bit off here.
Yes. He served in the wartime government for a time as a minister under Churchill
It’s obviously not a real person “beavebrook” psh

38:55 Churchill was 64, not 69, when the war started in 1939.
And 65 when he finally got the top job.
44:33 Roosevelt Roads
24:03 The Western nations were not the Soviet Union's allies.
She didn't say the west were allies. Listen to the whole statement

As much i enjoy listening to you Margaret " Russia's dismal performance on the battlefield" has proven you very wrong,
I know prof. MacMillan is a highly regarded historian, but there are to many flaws in this lecture. That's a pity.
А вы не удивляйтесь, ибо у всех западных историков одна общая черта их лекций - они любят бессовестно врать. И в этом они не уидят ничего плохого.
Churchill was most certainly a drunk but still managed to function pretty damn well.
Never i.paired his abilities and he needed 3 stenographer on call to keep up with his documentary output. Notes, books, speeches, letters...
The US, antiempirialist? More than a bit off.
Anti-Other People's Empires. ;)
They were back then. Yes, ironic.

By the end of 1942 the Germans had sunk 578 American merchant ships. Did neither the American public nor the politicians not notice this?
The Nazis declared war on the USA.
Margaret omits to mention Mers -el -Kebir French Navy casualties of 1297 dead & 350 wounded.
