"You're the closest thing to Churchill that England has in this particular conflict"
Agreed.
The future of Europe will be decided in the next decade. The time is now, tomorrow will be too late.
It boils down to Churchill:
"One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never"
