“And the argument, which this has actually been around a while, Pat Buchanan wrote a book arguing this back in 2008, but the claim is that World War II should have been a small war, that Hitler didn't want a big war. He just wanted to go annex Danzig, and that was it. And that Churchill forced him to keep fighting because Churchill wouldn't negotiate peace.”
Presents the claim through a simplified causal chain — Churchill alone forced Hitler into a big war — that shapes interpretation beyond what the attributed source (Buchanan's book) has been shown to assert in this condensed form.
“absolutely deranged tyrant Hitler who wanted to take over the world and destroy Christian civilization”
Superlative and emotionally charged characterization ('absolutely deranged', 'destroy Christian civilization') where more measured historical description exists.
“All the quotes he does in his Twitter thread are from that book, Human Smoke, which is written by a left wing pacifist erotica writer.”
Misrepresents the opposing historian's evidentiary posture by reducing the entire argument to a single source from a discredited author, deflecting the opposing view through a whataboutism about sourcing rather than engaging the substance.
