Churchill

One kind of interesting thing is that Churchill was constantly subtweeting the United States in his great wartime speeches. I've quoted his "finest hour" speech, which flatly says our fates are intertwined. Here is another:

We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

There's plenty more but I think you get the idea. Again, his decision to use good American English and not to throw in a bunch of "oys" and "shites" greatly elevates the oratory.
