Churchill's famous speech delivered on June 18th 1940:
"What General Weygand called the Battle of France is over. I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilisation. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour."

I hate it when I let myself reply to flamers, but here i go;
Churchill did think the USSR was a threat, so much so that he wanted the Wests army to just keep on going through Germany, pick up the remains of the Wermacht and attack Russia. The guy coined the phrase Iron Curtain, its a clue he knew the situation.
He wasnt perfect by any means, but I do believe in results being the measure of a leader.
Oh, and hate USA all you want, but id rather have McDonalds™ than Die Bratwurster™.
british spies did tell americans about plan for pearl harbour but they were ignored
It's true, but it was arrogance and laziness on the part of American commanders that caused the warnings to go ignored
