Cette phrase fait partie d'une liste et est donc hors contexte. Je n'en saisis pas le sens. Merci pour vos suggestions.

Explanation:
it comes from "History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it" by Winston Churchill; i.e. "L'histoire me sera indulgente, car j'ai l'intention de l'écrire".

to blank :
(informal) to keep (an opponent) from scoring in a game.

so maybe something like "L'histoire me sera indulgente, car j'ai l'intention de t'empêcher de marquer/gagner" (in a game/casino context)

Il s'agissait bien d'un "blanc" à compléter laissé dans la question.

Merci Stéphanie de m'avoir éclairé sur cette citation de Churchill (et sur toutes les autres comportant un BLANC).

Merci Y-Fi pour votre suggestion.
