Gary Oldman (Winston Churchill): Now let me ask you all something– which has been weighing on my mind. Perhaps you can provide me with an answer. The British people. What is their mood? Is it confident? YOUNG MAN: Very. OLD MAN: Some people say it’s a lost cause.

YOUNG MAN: Fight. MIDDLE AGED WOMAN: Fight the fascists! OLD MAN: Fight them with whatever we can lay our hands on! IRISH WOMAN: Broom handles if we must!
YOUNG WOMAN: Street by street! WEST-INDIAN MAN: They’ll never take Picadilly!
WINSTON: Ha!Ha! Never Picadilly indeed!

The public laugh. WINSTON SMILES, proud of these people – WINSTON: And what–what if I put it to you all–that we might, if we ask nicely, receive very favourable terms from Mr. Hitler if we enter into a peace deal with him right now? What would you say to that?

ALL: NEVER! NEVER! When SILENCE returns, one (young) voice chimes in, late –
YOUNG GIRL: Never!

WINSTON turns to look for the source of the voice and he sees, and moves toward, one YOUNG GIRL… WINSTON: Will you never give up? YOUNG GIRL: Never.

Touched, he crosses and sits down opposite the child. WINSTON (to YOUNG GIRL): “Then out spake brave Horatius, The Captain of the gate: To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds…
WEST INDIAN MAN: …for the ashes of his fathers And the temples of his gods.

Everyone is moved. WINSTON, himself, has tears in his eyes. He wipes his eyes with a handkerchief. YOUNG GIRL: Are you crying? WINSTON: I blub a lot. You’ll have to get used to it. The TRAIN stops. WINSTON: What stop is this? MIDDLE AGED WOMAN: Westminster. WINSTON: That’s my stop.

The scene above is from DARKEST HOUR, directed by Joe Wright and written by Anthony McCarten. Which won Best Actor (Gary Oldman), Best Make Up and Hairstyling (Kazu Hiro, David Malinowski, Lucy Sibbick) at the Oscar’s and BAFTA in 2018. The usually svelte Oldman was transformed to the rotund Winston Churchill convincingly.

Real Genius
Anthony McCarten is a New Zealander who has written the screenplays of some of the biggest hits the past several years including: BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, I WANA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY and THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING.

The real genius is timing. DARKEST HOUR was released 2017. Two full years prior to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Neither Wright not McCarten knew at the time such a thing would happen. Some expected it. But was very much a surprise until it actually did. The film however, in many ways puts to screen the difficult decisions by nations when faced by the grave threat of war.

Fight On?
DARKEST HOUR describes the period where Great Britain was under attack from Nazi forces who have recently conquered France. This was when Prime Minister Winston Churchill had to make the best decision for their interest. The period is identified as the 1940 British war cabinet crisis. DO they sue for peace in an attempt to save British Troops’ lives trapped in Dunkirk and Calais? Also to ensure the safety of British civilians by preventing more attacks/ bombings by the Luftwaffe?

It really was the DARKEST HOUR where even the strongest convictions of Churchill couldn’t stand in the face of imminent threat. Even he was conflicted. SHOULD he save more lives, the troops trapped in Dunkirk and sue for peace? And ultimately the lives of British civilians? As his own cabinet was insisting on.

OR do they fight to the last man? Knowing very well it would cost lives? Knowing they should stand up against the evils of a dictator ready to rule not just Europe but the world. Was it a sacrifice they were willing to make? It’s not always crystal clear. NOT black and white. Especially when so many lives are at stake. The Viscount Halifax and Neville Chamberlain wanted to prevent even more lives lost in their fight with Germany.

JUST LIKE today, in what’s happening with Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, not everyone is convinced that he SHOULD be stopped. Trump himself, proudly proclaimed in a speech he would let Putin do what he wanted to a NATO member. These are the same questions that Ukraine, the United States, yes, United Kingdom, France NATO nations are CURRENTLY grappling with.
That’s why Sweden, traditionally and historically neutral has also joined NATO, a day before President Biden’s State of the Union address.

Whose Genocide was worse?
The parallelism, however, between Vladimir Putin and Adolf Hitler is clear. BOTH are dictators, have a history of genocide. Hitler systematically executed millions of Jews throughout Europe along with homosexuals and the infirm. Both Hitler and Putin also famously executed political opponents. The most recent example of Alexei Navalny being assassinated in prison via poison, hogging the headlines.
Most have forgotten that Putin was caught bombing his own people in order to justify war against the Chechen in 1999. FSB agents were caught by Russian police planting bombs that Putin attributed to Chechen separatists. FSB is the intelligence agency Putin used to head prior to becoming President. The ensuing war caused Russian forces to commit massacres, rape, extra judicial killings:

“Western European rights groups estimate there have been about 5,000 forced disappearances in Chechnya since 1999. Dozens of mass graves containing hundreds of corpses have been uncovered since the start of the Chechen conflict. As of June 2008, there were 57 registered locations of mass graves in Chechnya.” Source: Second Chechen War wikiwand

This is way before the current Ukrainian genocide, where Russian forces are not only accused of killing civilians. ‘Kyiv estimates that at least 19,500 Ukrainian children have been deported and forcibly displaced from their homes to Russia and Russian-occupied territories since the full scale invasion began in February 2022, and of those only 388 have returned home.’ Source BBC.com: Ukraine’s missing children tracked down in Russia by digital sleuths

Democracy vs Tyranny
History, allows us to look at the past and helps us to identify mistakes. Where things could’ve been done better. The U.S. was a superpower reluctant to join WWII. Until it was forced to do so by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Who knows, had America joined the war sooner, maybe, lives could have been saved in both France and the U.K.?

In the film, Churchill phones FDR begging for ships, arms, planes, anything that would help them fight the war. Roosevelt, as U.S. President, was facing pressure to bolster the economy, after The Great Depression. It was almost impossible for anyone to justify America going into a war in Europe at such great costs.

This black and white photo is of President Franklin D. Roosevelt fishing in a stream, accompanied by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The presidential retreat during Roosevelt’s administration was known as “Shangri-La” but was renamed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower after his grandson and is still known as “Camp David.”

Even today, Democracy is an abstract concept. One of the ways for you to know who you are as a nation is to identify who you are not. Democracy is about the people electing their leaders, a free press, the rule of law. A dictatorship is about one man rule, the suppression of free speech, and sometimes a lust for power that boils over to the invasion of other countries.

Japan Forced America’s Hand
So the invasion of Germany into Poland, Czechoslovakia, France is a threat to democracies around the world. The failure of America in recognizing it as a threat against democracies everywhere (not just Europe) is something that you can only learn looking at history.

Eventually, Thank God, the Allies won: Great Britain, France, U.S. which our own country the Philippines is part of (as a U.S. colony at the time).

Proclamation for Human Rights
The lessons of the second world war, created not only NATO but the United Nations. The international rules based order emerged from the ashes as a way to prevent the horrors of war. One of these was an effort to recognize human rights, regardless of nation, creed or religion (1948). Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Preamble: Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

Forgetting the Lessons
It’s very easy to forget lessons of the past. They are ideals, the values we are supposed to hold dear. Why do we believe in them? Why is democracy important? Once you lose it, may never come back. Especially when, those who WANT tyranny, intentionally make the people forget those lessons of the past.

Ever wonder why book banning has been a priority for so called Republicans? Because they want to deny America’s racist past. They want people to forget the history of slavery. Connected to their desire to remove democracy and the efforts of the civil rights movement. Connected to their obsession with the ‘Big Lie’.

Three Dictators or is it Five?
The trend towards dictatorships and misinformation has spread world-wide. Even in our shores. Former President Duterte, proudly proclaimed that he would throw the hard fought victory of Hague Decision ‘in the wastebasket’. This was when (the late) former DFA secretary Albert Del Rosario led a legal team to fight for the Philippines in the international court, versus the invasion of China in our waters AND WON. Guess what? They violated the UNCLOS, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Ayala Malls Glorietta
https://www.facebook.com/iloveglorietta/
The People’s Republic of China was found guilty of violating the international rules based order by invading and taking for its own, waters in the Philippines’ Exclusive Economic Zone. Many were speculating WHY Duterte would do such a thing against the interest of his own country. Was it because of his adulation for Chinese President for life Xi Jing Ping? And another big surprise, Duterte publicly idolized Vladimir Putin.

Also in the photo is Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio. ALBERT ALCAIN/PRESIDENTIAL PHOTO
Incidentally Duterte, Xi Jing Ping and Putin all recognized around the world as dictators. All against the freedom of speech, human rights and the rule of law. Mere hours ago, Trump hosted Victor Orban of Hungary, in Mar-A-Lago.

Powerful State of the Union
That’s why President Biden’s State of the Union, speech was so powerful. It resonated, not just with Americans but everyone around the world. He was able to express, simply but forcefully the urgency of the situation of Ukraine, why the world should help. He expressed the confluence of democratic ideals and its historical significance.

That’s why I chose to include the beginning of that speech here. Read the full transcript in this link from TIME.com: Full Transcript: Read President Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union Address
Meanwhile read the beginning of Pres. Biden’s State of the Union, March 8, 2024
Here:
In January 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt came to this chamber to speak to the nation. He said, “I address you at a moment unprecedented in the history of the Union.”
Hitler was on the march. War was raging in Europe.
President Roosevelt’s purpose was to wake up the Congress and alert the American people that this was no ordinary moment.

Freedom and democracy were under assault in the world.
Tonight I come to the same chamber to address the nation.
Now it is we who face an unprecedented moment in the history of the Union.
And yes, my purpose tonight is to both wake up this Congress, and alert the American people that this is no ordinary moment either.
Not since President Lincoln and the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault here at home as they are today.

https://www.cebupacificair.com/
What makes our moment rare is that freedom and democracy are under attack, both at home and overseas, at the very same time.
Overseas, Putin of Russia is on the march, invading Ukraine and sowing chaos throughout Europe and beyond. If anybody in this room thinks Putin will stop at Ukraine, I assure you, he will not.
But Ukraine can stop Putin if we stand with Ukraine and provide the weapons it needs to defend itself. That is all Ukraine is asking. They are not asking for American soldiers.
In fact, there are no American soldiers at war in Ukraine. And I am determined to keep it that way.

But now assistance for Ukraine is being blocked by those who want us to walk away from our leadership in the world. It wasn’t that long ago when a Republican President, Ronald Reagan, thundered, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”
Now, my predecessor, a former Republican President, tells Putin, “Do whatever the hell you want.”
A former American President actually said that, bowing down to a Russian leader.
It’s outrageous. It’s dangerous. It’s unacceptable.
America is a founding member of NATO the military alliance of democratic nations created after World War II to prevent war and keep the peace.
Today, we’ve made NATO stronger than ever.

We welcomed Finland to the Alliance last year, and just this morning, Sweden officially joined NATO, and their Prime Minister is here tonight.
Mr. Prime Minister, welcome to NATO, the strongest military alliance the world has ever known.
I say this to Congress: we must stand up to Putin. Send me the Bipartisan National Security Bill. History is watching.

If the United States walks away now, it will put Ukraine at risk.
Europe at risk. The free world at risk, emboldening others who wish to do us harm.
My message to President Putin is simple.
We will not walk away. We will not bow down.
I will not bow down.

History is watching, just like history watched three years ago on January 6th.
Insurrectionists stormed this very Capitol and placed a dagger at the throat of American democracy.
Many of you were here on that darkest of days.
We all saw with our own eyes these insurrectionists were not patriots.
They had come to stop the peaceful transfer of power and to overturn the will of the people. January 6th and the lies about the 2020 election, and the plots to steal the election, posed the gravest threat to our democracy since the Civil War.

https://www.reuters.com/pictures/defining-images-jan-6th-capitol-attack-2024-01-05/
But they failed. America stood strong and democracy prevailed.
But we must be honest the threat remains and democracy must be defended.
My predecessor and some of you here seek to bury the truth of January 6th.
I will not do that.
This is a moment to speak the truth and bury the lies.
And here’s the simplest truth. You can’t love your country only when you win.

Remember your oath of office to defend against all threats foreign and domestic.
Respect free and fair elections! Restore trust in our institutions! And make clear—political violence has absolutely no place in America!

Taiwan is another flashpoint ripe for invasion, this time by China.
The Taiwanese people themselves have been readying themselves.
I am heartened by a recent poll where Filipinos are willing to fight for their country, if and when called for by an even more intrusive invasion also by China. Some are speculating that PROC, is bolstering its position in West Philippine Sea as preparation for the Taiwan invasion.

What else can we do but find inspiration from the words of the Winston Churchill (also in DARKEST HOUR). His most famous speech that became known as:
WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER
Turning once again–to the question of invasion–I would observe that there has never been a period in all these long centuries of which we boast, when an absolute guarantee against invasion could have been given to our people.
I have, myself–full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny –

If necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty’s Government – every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation. The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.

Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France–we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island – whatever the cost may be.

We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; We shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old!
