“Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing…after they have exhausted all other possibilities.”
Variants of this quote are popularly attributed to Sir Winston Churchill, presumably in reference to the US finally joining the fight against fascism in WWII. Though it may sound like something he’d say, there is no written or recorded evidence that Winston ever made such a statement. In fact, it may be more accurately attributed to Israeli diplomat Abba Eban in 1967, though he referred to “nations” rather than specifically “Americans”.
