Thanks buddy. I'm British and support your rights for freedom and a better way of life. Stay strong and maybe the next US President will start building bridges, not walls 👍
@@thra5herxb12s Assuming this individual gives a shit about the united states XD. Also what the hell kinda freedom is it with so many mandatory obligations just to have the "privilege", not freedom but "privilege", to work in an economic system that is influenced by its greatest powers to harbor guaranteed success in the few at the cost of many. Where also the greatest proponents of consideration for bettering the lives those beyond the U.S. are also the most determined to cause detriment and failure of those within. DONT GET ME WRONG. I am not saying that the U.S. isn't one of the G.O.A.T country's in all of known history, its just really sad that this is some of the best humanity has mustered. Governments, capitalism, socialism, these aren't bad ideas but millions of greedy apes most concerned with their immediate surroundings at any one point just suck at utilizing them. Now Democracy, in terms of freedom especially, that is innately a terrible idea... literally is the bigger group threatening to use force to the smaller group if they dont do, accept, or contribute to something they don't wanna... like I mean come on "freedom"? Could be worse, still not freedom. So moral of the story I agree, people should be able to move to where ever they please without being stopped by some imaginary boundary and instead governed by the nonaggression principle unfortunately not a single dumbass democrat or republican in power on the planet agrees with both of these simultaneously cause the avg of humanity as it turns out is terrible.
“When Napoleon lay at Boulogne for a year with his flat-bottomed boats and his Grand Army, he was told by someone, "there are bitter weeds in England."

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. 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 even 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.”
Gregory Smith Yes invading Britain without a fleet was a major strategic blunder. Look up battle of Trafalgar, if it was that easy he would have done it.
Gregory Smith Napoléon tried to take Britain, but the previously mentioned battle of Trafalgar literally is the reason people say “Britannia rules the waves.”, I.e. The battle was so decisive it ensured British naval dominance for just under a century. The reason Hitler invaded the Soviet Union was for oil(and other strategic resources) and to destroy Bolshevism. The reason they needed oil was because without it they couldn’t run the aeroplanes necessary to gain supremacy of the English Channel.

Those Friday night images of that high-rise apartment building in Kiev with a huge hole in it, and of Volodymyr Zelenskyy standing OUTSIDE the equivalent of the Ukrainian White House, while Russian missiles are attacking, shall go down as indelible impressions in my mind. He was not hiding in a bunker, making himself invisible to his people. And yes, this also brought to mind to me Churchill’s defiant “we shall never surrender!” speech.
What they're saying about him isn't wrong. You can admire his leadership during ww2 but acknowledge that he was a very flawed person. Your black and white approach to this is moronic and only fosters more conflict
I don't listen to Churchill's speeches because of his politics, I listen to them because he is perhaps the greatest orator that ever lived. This speech will never fail to give me chills and should be the inspiration for anyone facing a seemingly impossible task.
When I have a drink now and then. I'm forced from the back of my mind to listen to him speak. The reason being like you said cuts straight to the bone, sends shivers down my spine .. NOBODY is perfect. And the world will never agree with each other. You can even disagree with your parents , children and friends. But what we can agree on is that he was inspirational
Sorry but Hitler was objectively the greatest orator. Put aside feelings and watch his speeches. He practiced them for hours and hours a day. Notice his public speaking tactics
that fatso,called churchill,was a bloodthirsty r@cist,zi@nist rabid d@g that killed tens of millions of innocent people and the main responsible for ww2
agreed. so sad to see these people who think “we’re woke” to go out and destroy statues of a man they consider a fascist, when he literally FOUGHT a war against a fascist.. they hold no respect for history
Same here, gives me so much British pride, so much respect to my grandparents, and their parents who had been involved and some died in this war. As much as young people today dont convey as much pride, i dont believe for a second we will ever lose the force that we british people have provided so many times in the past.

It's like people single out whatever bad thing any historical figure might have done or said and use it to ovewrite all the objective good hes done. It's like cancel culture but for dead people.
The two things are not mutually exclusive: you can respect and appreciate his role in facing up to the Nazi's and preventing Chamberlain's disastrous appeasement policies, BUT you can also rightfully condemn his disgraceful beliefs (as well as being a massive racist, even for those times, he literally created concentration camps as we now know them, which he built in Kenya, and he also starved 3m Indians by creating a famine). He was by no means a saint and to blindly worship him as such is ignorant.
@@tomm7833 Exactly. Most of our founding fathers has problems one way or another, that doesn't mean we can excuse it, but it's kind of something we should just accept and look at all the good they've done as well as the bad and evaluate which one was more impactful.
Rixor12 it is a reason to excuse it.... you think they’d have the same views if they were raised today? Probably not. You can’t have cancel culture for any people born 100 plus years ago. Slavery was acceptable back then. It isn’t today.

No he didn't knob head. Germany started the war by violating the treaty written after WW1, Hitler rearmed,stormed into Poland then attacked our allies in the west. Learn your history before making a comment.
It was time to say this. Churchill was a war minister, who articulated the will of our nation. The galvanisation of direct democracy in action. The honest and flawed leader, speaking directly to his employer.
@@highgrounder if they had the education they would know it was the Japanese. Churchill said bad things about Indians but never starved them or whatever the blame is.
@@RoachChaddjr The Japanese obviously hold some of the blame, but there was a LOT more, mainly instituted by India’s British elite. For example, the “boat denial” policies absolutely wrecked the ENTIRE fishing industry in Bengal. Along with that, the “denial of rice” policies allowed provinces to just get rid of rice that was deemed extra, and let’s just say that some hid the fact that they purposely threw away WAY more rice than was necessary. This along with war-time inflation and military buildup did NOT help.
Brings tears to my American eyes to hear Churchill's faith that America would step forward and take part in the fight. My father was picked up twice by Indiana police for passing out leaflets calling for American action against Hitler during this time.
how am I an autistic trump supporter if I am pointing out that a democratically elected politician is nothing like a brutal dictator that killed 11 million people and led to a war that killed upwards of 70 million...?
"Even if you take our homeland, our fleet and empire's territories will still resist you." That line is so chilling yet motivational and realistic. Germany could have very well beat the island into submission, yet England still had a massive fleet and could still resist in India, Africa, and the South Pacific.
Or the people in India, Africa, and the south pacific would take the opportunity to avenge the decades of oppression, pain, death, exploitation, and suffering that the British subjected them to
You Brits were the best allies we could have ever asked for. You guys kicked the Luftwaffe back to Berlin, and spied on them to the point they couldn't breathe without British intelligence knowing about it. Best wishes from the US.
You will now see a grassroots movement to bring Canada, Britain, and the United States, into a single economic union. This might ultimately lead to a political Confederation.

@Elberiver11 Churchill didn't start WW1 or 2. Serbian nationalists started WW1, Nazi Germany started WW2. I reccommend YOU read some history. Britain loved Germnay trading - who doesn't? That's why they tried to be more lenient in the Paris Peace Conference. Until you can point out to me how Churchill started ANY of the above conflicts, best to just cool yourself down, pack your things and head to the nearest asylum.
Churchill may have had a less than perfect personality, and some primitive and horrible views, but he was an excellent war time leader for great Britain, and he helped bring peace and freedom to all of us, wherever we are in the world, and I think he really does deserve to be remembered in history as one of the heroes of mankind.
Yes, as I said he had some horrible primitive views on many things, and he was the wrong kind of politician in my opinion as well, and these facts among other reasons is why he was sacked by the public right after the war, and i'm not saying another leader wouldn't have been just as much of a hero in his place (or more so), but just the fact that he was the man who lead Britain to victory over the Nazis makes him a hero of mankind for me, regardless of all of his shortcomings.. Sure, he's less of a hero than a sane and humane, but just as competent wartime leader would have been in his place, but history had Churchill, and in hindsight I say just the fact that he was the commander and chief of a country that contributed so much to the allied effort still makes him good enough to make it into that hall of heroes.
Churchill supported Nazi eugenics, including the forced sterilisation of the mentally handicapped. He also used chemical weapons on civilians in Russia.
Elberiver11 There is a difference, Hitler tried desperately to negotiate a peace deal with the UK. But the drunk dog was bought and paid by the Zionists, his job was death and horror. The Zionists hated Hitler because he had liberated Germany from the Zionist stranglehold.
It was told to Abraham Lincoln what a drunk Ulysses S Grant was, the President, mindful of Gen. Grant's willingness to succeed and his victories responded, "Whatever Grant is drinking, give it to the rest of my generals."

In 1943, up to four million Bengalis starved to death when Winston Churchill diverted food to British soldiers and countries such as Greece while a deadly famine swept through Bengal. Talking about the Bengal famine in 1943, Churchill said: “I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion. The famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits.”
Mystic Strack, They were all killing each other on that continent long before that They hate each other to this day, so sort out your own problems first before whining about Churchill

@@Amargosa2006 there was something called the Brisbane - Melbourne line during WW2, Essentially everything to the west and north of the line drawn between the two cities would have been allowed to fall into enemy hands with little to no resistance. The idea was that Australia's vast distances and lack of water in the interior would have been used as a way to weaken the Japanese invaders before they reached the areas that were worth defending. John Curtin the prime minister said no and the Australian war cabinet also said no, I'm not sure if it was Churchill's idea but there was Labor minister Eddie ward, an Australian who thought it should really be considered... Nonetheless, even if it was Churchill who suggested it, that doesn't mean we cannot respect the Poms of WW2 and their sacrifices and hardships they endured as well as all allies, to make sure the world was a better place. Also another thing to note is that during WW2 Australia was under its own command, they were not inclined to listen to the British just because we were apart of the commonwealth, we learned that lesson the hard way at gallipoli as I'm sure you know.

He wasn’t perfect, but to me that’s what made him so relatable. Everyone has flaws, and yet, Churchill is living proof you don’t need to be a picture perfect specimen to do something great. For someone who has so many flaws of their own, Churchill is a big inspiration. And even though he was a bit rough around the edges, the very thought of the Swastika hanging over England and America terrifies me.

As an American, I have to acknowledge my gratitude for such a wonderful friend and steadfast ally. Winston Churchill was truly a leader for the ages. His conduct and leadership during WWII no doubt qualifies him as among the most consequential figures of the 20th century. How fortunate America was to have had a leader of such strength and courage. How lucky we were to have had a friend and leader who stood up to tyranny and, through his inspirational leadership, rallied and united a nation against the forces of darkness and tyranny. To the people of Great Britain, thank you from a grateful America.
He was incredibly racist and xenophobic, and committed many atrocities in the name of "Freedom". Contrary to popular belief, the Soviets didn't want to partition Germany as happened after the war. It was the idea of the Western allies. Look more into this, but Churchill wasn't some amazing benevolent person like Western propaganda tries to make him out to be. You should read into atrocities that occurred in the Raj during his rule.
Dorian Dore : you are correct. He is one of the most hated persons in British Raj. He is responsible for man made famines in India and other colonies. I wish people knew more about his atrocities.
I have no words to explain how thankful I am about this special and heroic man !!! The support he gave to my country , the morale he gave to his country... There are no words !!! Definitely a man that deserves to be a prototype for all leaders and humans in this earth... May his soul rest in peace and be remembered as the greatest prime minister of the world...

GAA Goldfinch umm... the British empire certainly wasn’t the first to do slavery. I’m not saying the empire was perfect. I’m just giving respect to how a tiny little island could create such an enormous and powerful empire, filled with some gruels great people.
"If necessary alone" I think that gives a huge insight into Churchills mindset... Even if no allies were to help England v Germany he was willing to see England burn to the ground before he would ever surrender! For a country so small England really has one of the largest impacts on the world... colonizing America , and having the biggest Empire in history to this day more or less conquered the world at one point, not to mention most of the world speaks there language also. England have invaded 90% of the countries in the world... 😳
British intelligence and leadership, American steel, Russian blood, and the strength and courage of Polish, Czech, Norwegian, and Canadian men won us that war. I salute the soldiers of each. Both living and dead. And I salute Churchill for pledging to use his every breath to fight Hitler and Fascist rule if he had to.

They were in the DDay , and Canada’s industry were producing A LOT to sustain the British. Everyone gave their blood for this bloody war.
I myself am Canadian. And though our country now sadly would have us feel guilty and feel shame for the Empire I myself am proud in many ways of its accomplishments and yes even at times feel sad for its faults but never shame.

Stories By Design new world= the United States. Which, we did come forth and get involved with WWII. Now, without the collaboration between Churchill ( who, mind you, had an extremely high admiration to the United States ) as well as stallin, we may all be speaking German right now.
Stories By Design He was referring specifically to the United States, Churchill continually pushed for America to join the war; FDR actually sympathized with Churchill and Great Britain but joining another world war unprovoked and without a declaration of war against the US would’ve been political suicide and FDR knew that. The last bit about the new world and the other colonies was actually requested by FDR, FDR asked Churchill to promise he would move the fleet overseas and keep fighting if Great Britain somehow fell (which it obviously didn’t even come close too)...
Im 17 at the moment and listening to this speech I was truly shivering. Just thinking about the time when France had fallen and you knew the Germans are coming to our island, this speech would have lifted my morale so much. Then when we defended our island and we didn't fall that must gave been the greatest feeling ever, just from listening to this makes me want to join our armed forces even more than I previously did. I love my country and we will continue to be the greatest country the world has ever seen.
@Elberiver11 Yes, because declaring war against the fascist moustache man was a bad thing wasn't it, it's not like he was invading our allies or anything aswell...
@Elberiver11 Churchill was vehemently anti-communist, but a strong ally in a time of war is always welcome. You should be familiar with the 1938 Nazi-Soviet pact following one of my previous replies. That would say that it was Hitler who was Stalin's best friend.
Today Zelensky reminded us of this great speech. "We will continue fighting for our land, whatever the cost. We will fight in the forests, the fields, the shores and in the streets." Ukraine shall outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, but never alone. Slava Ukraini.

When that speech came over on the radio my mum was at home having her lunch and started to cry (I didn’t really understand) but then she dried her eyes and said “well then I better get back to work”. The women took over the men’s jobs, quite admirably so there was no perfume in locker rooms, probably the smell of cutting oil for the machinery and the smell of manure from the farms. Also, we were rationed and perfume was not available, neither were any so-called female luxuries as we needed food to survive. As well, there were many nurses and ambulance drivers, women spotters in the RAF and if we were actually invaded we would have been fighting too as most of the people left in Great Britain were pensioners, men who didn’t pass their medical and young people not yet old enough to join up. Sorry to spoil your view of the “fair sex”.
druscus I realized that and didn’t mean to offend but thought I would point out that everyone had to do their bit. Although I am far from a feminist you have to admit your remark was just a little bit sexist though😜👍
when he talks about the new world stepping forward to the aid of the old, it makes me cry because he's talking about the United States. How I long for the British and American patriotism of old
Smyl Mindless tribalism over arbitrary lines drawn on a map. Being proud of a nation is what small minded people do who have no concept of reserving pride for something they actually achieve themselves and not just by being part of a 'club' simply by being born on a certain patch of land.
Saying patriotism caused world war two shows a deep level of ignorance. The crippling oppression inflicted on the German people by the allied terms of peace were far more detrimental and lending to the rise of Hitler than nationalism. There is nothing inherently wrong with patriotism.
@T Aikens 100% my man but the little englanders dont like to hear it,it goes against their narrative. Churchill good. Germany bad, the drunk fuck killed as many innocent ppl as Hitler did.rkasting in hell with Thatcher as we speak!
“We shall fight in the fields and in the streets.” This is the part that always brings it home to me. It wasn’t just a rally to soldiers fighting in some distant foreign land, but a call to action for mothers, fathers, and neighbours listening at home to basically come out swinging and literally defend their houses if need be. Goosebumps.
It was bloodthirst drunken warmonger babble, not some heroic speach how he is gonna save empire Look at London, it isn't even in 35% made by englisman سنتحدث جميعاً بالألمانية
@@Alicia-go8lw One monster defeated another monster . What the rest of the world has to do with it ?? He was equally as bad as Hitler & Stalin . He was good only for the English . Ask the Irish , Indians and Africans on Churchill , they ll spit on your face . Go , get some life .
This speech overshadowed 80 years later, in some country, some part in Europe where a small country fend off against an invasion from a bigger country. Slava Ukraini!
@Christian van Laak you were the type Churchill won against, your the type that would of agreed "peace" with hitler. Ended the war. Chruchil not only won the war against the Nazis but also against the british politicians calling for the war to end. Churchill was a hero in the truest sense of the word. I'm sorry you are angry over history but that is what happend.
My grandpa fought in the war in Europe and used to regale me with tales about the bravery of British soldiers. He had an immense respect and admiration for the British people that he also created in me, and I just wanted to send a wave across the pond and tell you all that I still think you're badass.
Thank you I never met them but two of my great grandfathers served during the war one with the raf on a Sunderland flying boat and one with the royal navy on hms resolution. Richard the one who served in the raf apparently held a deep respect for American pilots and met the some of the first American airmen to come over and fly for us even before America was officially involved. God speed to you lot I hope the unrest in your country and ours is resolved soon. We've the same people ideologically just separated by a little bit of water 😉
Doppio Secondo No. No he was not. One of the worst? Yes. War monger. Caved in to Stalin. Let communism triumph over Europe. Don’t get me started on the Welsh Miners. Could’ve prevented the Indian famine but chose not to. Let Stalin keep 5,000 British soldiers and their whereabouts are still unknown. Don’t get me started on this guy. Evil is the only word. Research his past. I beg you never have done
@@MichaelJ44 "Let communism triumph over Europe" I think you get confused. Churchill had never any doubts that Stalin was the devil incarnate ("If Hitler invaded hell..."). It was Roosevelt who was l****g Stalin's a** and swa******g.
Michael literally none of what you’ve said is true, he couldn’t have stopped the Indian famine, if he tried to he would have failed and he’d have only succeeded in supplying the japanese, and he didn’t cave in to Stalin, he accepted the reality that Eastern Europe was controlled by the Soviets and they couldn’t fight yet another war
Everytime I hear this, I tremble with immence pride and love for my country and for the man who saved it and all its citizens against a German invasion!
The bit where he says "alone", gives me the chills, you cant imagine. Like Ukraine at the moment, standing alone to protect your country men and women with a tyrant bombing you ready to take away your freedom. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 ♥
@@BubbleTheSigma Some might say the WW2 German war machine was more of a threat than the current Russian Army comparatively though... it was at the very least much more competent
@@BubbleTheSigma it true. I subscribe to your every word. Western leaders have already quietly dropped the topic of a total energy embargo. With economic methods, the West cannot in any way strangle the Russian economy without imposing an embargo.
@@BubbleTheSigma Don't be silly.At that point, they and mobilissed for a fraction of the time that the Nazis had and The Nazi high command had had full conviction of their purpose for years, whereas Lmost Brits even at this point, Were reluctantly engaging , due to the handover from World Warr I savagery. The Nazis were supported by Italy and Hitler had staged a Psychological masterclass, by opening Vinci France to make it look like the French had switched sides, he also had the French natural resources,, as well as the German ones and other small countries.And that to the fact that Russia had also supported Germany in the invasion of Poland - This is the real picture of what was facing England, yet HE WAS STILL ERNEST and adamant
I understand why many Americans had such isolationist sentiments, with the horrible memory of World War I still fresh in their minds, but we should have come to Britain's defense sooner. We should not have left them to fend off Nazi Germany's bombs on their own. Whenever I hear a fellow American say "We saved Britain's ass in World War II." Bullshit. Maybe we did save them from losing the whole war, but we took our sweet time doing it, and they held off the daily bombing campaigns of the Nazi air force for a long time before we showed up. Hitler planned to soften Britain's defenses and demoralize its people with the bombing campaign to prepare for a land invasion. But he underestimated the strength and resolve of the British people. With every bomb dropped on London, he only strengthened their determination to endure and eventually defeat him. The United States should have declared war on Nazi Germany the instant the first bomb hit London.
Thank you for this, I salute you. Britain was in the war from 3rd September 1939 to August 1945, almost 6 years (and over 6 years by the time the 'Forgotten Army' came back from India and Burma in late '45/early '46, my Commando father included). That's a full 2 years, 3 months before the USA entered the war after Pearl Harbour. Fact.
I Never normally comment on anything on youtube but @ZachBamfy i thought i would at least point out some of the things that were "given" were part of a lend-lease pact, and a debt that the UK would not fully pay off until 2006 with the interest added to that. In addition to this the "war supplies" you did not come at a small price either considering that they were often obsolete items remaining from the first world war. The “Destroyers for Bases” agreement is one such example. Under the terms of the agreement, the United States gave the British more than 50 obsolete destroyers, in exchange for territory in Newfoundland and the Caribbean, which would be converted/used as U.S. air and naval bases, so it wasn't as if the aid didn't benefit the US in any way.
Yeah, it pains me as an American to hear other Americans say that the USA basically won WW2. Was it a major player, certainly. Even if the Brits and Soviets eventually defeated Germany, they probably would have been so depleted from loss of life and resources they would still feel the repercussions today. So yes, the USA did WORK. But it did not beat Germany alone.
Actually he was a drunken disgrace (He couldn't even stay sober long enough to give his most famous speech) - Real British heros were men like The Duke of Wellington, Admiral Nelson and Lord Kitchener etc There was a reason why great British men like David Lloyd George and King Edward opposed Churchill. Churchill lost us the empire (not Hitler) and for his own selfish gain too.
kieran allan And you don't think his large personal financial investments in the arms industry during the war was a conflict of interest?? Especially when we were loosing the war badly in 1941 and Hitler was offering unconditional peace (And even an alliance if wished) with the British.
***** What happened to Russia when Hitler offered peace before the war? Are you suggesting that Britain should not have intervened in WWII given the war crimes and atrocities and the aggression which were being perpetrated against it?
Josh Richardson What happened? LMBO Stalin had plans to let Europe weaken itself and swoop in when they're down and out. They never wanted peace, it was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Once Hitler discovered this plan he struck Russia and if he hadn't, all of Europe would have been totally fucked.
This was the guy who stood alone against that monster Hitler. Churchill inspired the world to rise up against tyranny. Yes, in a thousand years, this man of men will be remembered.
Well, thank you for at least proving that there are two types of people in this world: uneducated fools like you who still believe all the media nonsense propaganda and cant think for themselves, and educated independent strong minds who HAVE the ability to think for themselves and see through all the bullshit. Nazis was a term used by the opposition to make Germany look evil. The actual name is Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP) or a national socialist, but a fool like you most likely never heard of that.
johnnyisfun21 since it took you a week to reply to post this dumb comment i do not take your seriously anymore. national socialism is completely a different idea than modern socialism. in fact the only thing common pretty much is the word socialism. look up how national socialism is a system that follows the laws of human nature and wants people to put effort into the creation of a bigger and better society and not only for themselves. This was the main reason why pre ww2 germany became a superpower in a short amount of time and it took the whole world to bring them down.
"If necessary, for years
If necessary, alone"
Man, there's something really somber about those lines
true, is very eerie
That little pause after "if necessary... alone" makes that little sentence so much more powerful...
Just the British stiff upper lip. Britain was stuck alone in Europe still fucked from WW1, but still never gave in.
Not sober
"NerfSniper10": That was very witty! Even when the word "sombre" is spelled correctly, it's still phonetically identical...so your quip works either way!

Where also the greatest proponents of consideration for bettering the lives those beyond the U.S. are also the most determined to cause detriment and failure of those within.
DONT GET ME WRONG.
I am not saying that the U.S. isn't one of the G.O.A.T country's in all of known history, its just really sad that this is some of the best humanity has mustered. Governments, capitalism, socialism, these aren't bad ideas but millions of greedy apes most concerned with their immediate surroundings at any one point just suck at utilizing them. Now Democracy, in terms of freedom especially, that is innately a terrible idea... literally is the bigger group threatening to use force to the smaller group if they dont do, accept, or contribute to something they don't wanna... like I mean come on "freedom"? Could be worse, still not freedom.
So moral of the story I agree, people should be able to move to where ever they please without being stopped by some imaginary boundary and instead governed by the nonaggression principle unfortunately not a single dumbass democrat or republican in power on the planet agrees with both of these simultaneously cause the avg of humanity as it turns out is terrible.

“When Napoleon lay at Boulogne for a year with his flat-bottomed boats and his Grand Army, he was told by someone, "there are bitter weeds in England." There are certainly a great many more of them since the British Expeditionary Force returned. Sir 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 again 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.
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 even 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.”
Underrated wth
Thank you

Gregory Smith Yes invading Britain without a fleet was a major strategic blunder. Look up battle of Trafalgar, if it was that easy he would have done it.
Gregory Smith Napoléon tried to take Britain, but the previously mentioned battle of Trafalgar literally is the reason people say “Britannia rules the waves.”, I.e. The battle was so decisive it ensured British naval dominance for just under a century. The reason Hitler invaded the Soviet Union was for oil(and other strategic resources) and to destroy Bolshevism. The reason they needed oil was because without it they couldn’t run the aeroplanes necessary to gain supremacy of the English Channel.
I swear, Churchill is the only guy who can be half-drunk, half-asleep, and *still* deliver one badass oratory that gives even me chills.

The two things are not mutually exclusive: you can respect and appreciate his role in facing up to the Nazi's and preventing Chamberlain's disastrous appeasement policies, BUT you can also rightfully condemn his disgraceful beliefs (as well as being a massive racist, even for those times, he literally created concentration camps as we now know them, which he built in Kenya, and he also starved 3m Indians by creating a famine).

Not so sure India would agree with that statement
@@highgrounder if they had the education they would know it was the Japanese. Churchill said bad things about Indians but never starved them or whatever the blame is.
@@RoachChaddjr The Japanese obviously hold some of the blame, but there was a LOT more, mainly instituted by India’s British elite. For example, the “boat denial” policies absolutely wrecked the ENTIRE fishing industry in Bengal. Along with that, the “denial of rice” policies allowed provinces to just get rid of rice that was deemed extra, and let’s just say that some hid the fact that they purposely threw away WAY more rice than was necessary. This along with war-time inflation and military buildup did NOT help.

"Even if you take our homeland, our fleet and empire's territories will still resist you." That line is so chilling yet motivational and realistic.

@Elberiver11 You massive wanker
Churchill may have had a less than perfect personality, and some primitive and horrible views, but he was an excellent war time leader for great Britain, and he helped bring peace and freedom to all of us, wherever we are in the world, and I think he really does deserve to be remembered in history as one of the heroes of mankind.
He was a disaster for the UK. He was against freedom for the countries being enslaved by the British.
Yes, as I said he had some horrible primitive views on many things, and he was the wrong kind of politician in my opinion as well, and these facts among other reasons is why he was sacked by the public right after the war, and i'm not saying another leader wouldn't have been just as much of a hero in his place (or more so), but just the fact that he was the man who lead Britain to victory over the Nazis makes him a hero of mankind for me, regardless of all of his shortcomings..
Sure, he's less of a hero than a sane and humane, but just as competent wartime leader would have been in his place, but history had Churchill, and in hindsight I say just the fact that he was the commander and chief of a country that contributed so much to the allied effort still makes him good enough to make it into that hall of heroes.
Churchill supported Nazi eugenics, including the forced sterilisation of the mentally handicapped. He also used chemical weapons on civilians in Russia.

There is a difference, Hitler tried desperately to negotiate a peace deal with the UK.

In 1943, up to four million Bengalis starved to death when Winston Churchill diverted food to British soldiers and countries such as Greece while a deadly famine swept through Bengal.
Talking about the Bengal famine in 1943, Churchill said: “I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion. The famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits.”

Bro Churchill was willing to let us be taken over by the Japanese
@@Amargosa2006 there was something called the Brisbane - Melbourne line during WW2, Essentially everything to the west and north of the line drawn between the two cities would have been allowed to fall into enemy hands with little to no resistance.
The idea was that Australia's vast distances and lack of water in the interior would have been used as a way to weaken the Japanese invaders before they reached the areas that were worth defending.
John Curtin the prime minister said no and the Australian war cabinet also said no, I'm not sure if it was Churchill's idea but there was Labor minister Eddie ward, an Australian who thought it should really be considered...
Nonetheless, even if it was Churchill who suggested it, that doesn't mean we cannot respect the Poms of WW2 and their sacrifices and hardships they endured as well as all allies, to make sure the world was a better place.
Also another thing to note is that during WW2 Australia was under its own command, they were not inclined to listen to the British just because we were apart of the commonwealth, we learned that lesson the hard way at gallipoli as I'm sure you know.

As an American, I have to acknowledge my gratitude for such a wonderful friend and steadfast ally. Winston Churchill was truly a leader for the ages. His conduct and leadership during WWII no doubt qualifies him as among the most consequential figures of the 20th century. How fortunate America was to have had a leader of such strength and courage. How lucky we were to have had a friend and leader who stood up to tyranny and, through his inspirational leadership, rallied and united a nation against the forces of darkness and tyranny. To the people of Great Britain, thank you from a grateful America.
Yeah, it takes balls to stand up to Hitler publicy almost alone (for a while) considering he was doing so well at the time in combat.
Churchill was a great war time leader, yes, but he was a SHITTY person. Stop trying to romanticize him.
Dorian Dore how so?
He was incredibly racist and xenophobic, and committed many atrocities in the name of "Freedom". Contrary to popular belief, the Soviets didn't want to partition Germany as happened after the war. It was the idea of the Western allies. Look more into this, but Churchill wasn't some amazing benevolent person like Western propaganda tries to make him out to be. You should read into atrocities that occurred in the Raj during his rule.
Dorian Dore : you are correct. He is one of the most hated persons in British Raj. He is responsible for man made famines in India and other colonies. I wish people knew more about his atrocities.
I have no words to explain how thankful I am about this special and heroic man !!! The support he gave to my country , the morale he gave to his country... There are no words !!!

Stories By Design He was referring specifically to the United States, Churchill continually pushed for America to join the war; FDR actually sympathized with Churchill and Great Britain but joining another world war unprovoked and without a declaration of war against the US would’ve been political suicide and FDR knew that. The last bit about the new world and the other colonies was actually requested by FDR, FDR asked Churchill to promise he would move the fleet overseas and keep fighting if Great Britain somehow fell (which it obviously didn’t even come close too)...
Pandu Widagdo he was literally talking about the united states. He already mentioned the rest of the British empire coming to the rescue beforehand.

*WHAT IS LIFE?*
*IS LIFE REAL?*
*OR DO WE MERELY LIVE IN A SIMULATION?*
Saying patriotism caused world war two shows a deep level of ignorance.
The crippling oppression inflicted on the German people by the allied terms of peace were far more detrimental and lending to the rise of Hitler than nationalism.
There is nothing inherently wrong with patriotism.
Patriotism is okay. Nationalism is a terrible cancer.

Take your unpatriotic negativity elsewhere
I’m American and I can appreciate the man
@T Aikens 100% my man but the little englanders dont like to hear it,it goes against their narrative. Churchill good. Germany bad, the drunk fuck killed as many innocent ppl as Hitler did.rkasting in hell with Thatcher as we speak!
“We shall fight in the fields and in the streets.” This is the part that always brings it home to me. It wasn’t just a rally to soldiers fighting in some distant foreign land, but a call to action for mothers, fathers, and neighbours listening at home to basically come out swinging and literally defend their houses if need be. Goosebumps.
It was bloodthirst drunken warmonger babble, not some heroic speach how he is gonna save empire
Look at London, it isn't even in 35% made by englisman

What the rest of the world has to do with it ??
He was equally as bad as Hitler & Stalin . He was good only for the English . Ask the Irish , Indians and Africans on Churchill , they ll spit on your face .
Go , get some life .

Lmfao underrated comment

Lol
This speech overshadowed 80 years later, in some country, some part in Europe where a small country fend off against an invasion from a bigger country.
Slava Ukraini!
As a Brit, this man saved our great nation in the darkest hours 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴
And because of which Nation was the darkest hour
Metallion And he also killed 70 million people but k
Yeah but to what end? Look at the state of England now
Tom G Not personally. But could’ve avoided it
@Christian van Laak you were the type Churchill won against, your the type that would of agreed "peace" with hitler. Ended the war. Chruchil not only won the war against the Nazis but also against the british politicians calling for the war to end. Churchill was a hero in the truest sense of the word.
I'm sorry you are angry over history but that is what happend.
My grandpa fought in the war in Europe and used to regale me with tales about the bravery of British soldiers. He had an immense respect and admiration for the British people that he also created in me, and I just wanted to send a wave across the pond and tell you all that I still think you're badass.
Thanks! and I imagine your grandad was brave too 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thank you
I never met them but two of my great grandfathers served during the war one with the raf on a Sunderland flying boat and one with the royal navy on hms resolution.
Richard the one who served in the raf apparently held a deep respect for American pilots and met the some of the first American airmen to come over and fly for us even before America was officially involved.
God speed to you lot I hope the unrest in your country and ours is resolved soon.
We've the same people ideologically just separated by a little bit of water 😉
Thank you to your grandads xxx
well, after this the whole nation was preparing to fight in the streets and the hills, etc
The amount of people disrespecting Churchill and WW2 era UK is too damn high.
@Elberiver11 Genuinely fucking off yourself, you uneducated, Nazi piece of shit.
Elberiver11 fuck you Nazi son of a bitch 79% of my people died then, and if it were not for Churchill, everyone would have died.
Pay them no heed.....
Elberiver11 Proof?
Elberiver11 he and other fucked up your nazi grandpa

If you are British and this does not inspire you then you are not British.

Churchill let Stalin keep 5,000 British prisoners of war. Their whereabouts are Unknown to this day
I'm Brazilian and I'm inspired hahaha
I’m American and this inspires me
I'm half German and half Italian and whenever I hear this I cry.
Churchill was one of the greatest men ever existed.
Doppio Secondo
No. No he was not. One of the worst? Yes.
War monger. Caved in to Stalin. Let communism triumph over Europe. Don’t get me started on the Welsh Miners. Could’ve prevented the Indian famine but chose not to. Let Stalin keep 5,000 British soldiers and their whereabouts are still unknown. Don’t get me started on this guy. Evil is the only word. Research his past. I beg you never have done
Michael the goal of communism was democracy but Stalin turned it into stalinism making it a dicatatorship
stepinupme123
#ItWasntRealSocialism 😂 never is, is it? Maybe socialism don’t work like the people implementing it
@@MichaelJ44 "Let communism triumph over Europe" I think you get confused. Churchill had never any doubts that Stalin was the devil incarnate ("If Hitler invaded hell..."). It was Roosevelt who was l****g Stalin's a** and swa******g.
Michael literally none of what you’ve said is true, he couldn’t have stopped the Indian famine, if he tried to he would have failed and he’d have only succeeded in supplying the japanese, and he didn’t cave in to Stalin, he accepted the reality that Eastern Europe was controlled by the Soviets and they couldn’t fight yet another war
Everytime I hear this, I tremble with immence pride and love for my country and for the man who saved it and all its citizens against a German invasion!
The bit where he says "alone", gives me the chills, you cant imagine. Like Ukraine at the moment, standing alone to protect your country men and women with a tyrant bombing you ready to take away your freedom. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 ♥
@@BubbleTheSigma Some might say the WW2 German war machine was more of a threat than the current Russian Army comparatively though... it was at the very least much more competent
@@BubbleTheSigma it true. I subscribe to your every word. Western leaders have already quietly dropped the topic of a total energy embargo. With economic methods, the West cannot in any way strangle the Russian economy without imposing an embargo.
@@BubbleTheSigma Don't be silly.At that point, they and mobilissed for a fraction of the time that the Nazis had and The Nazi high command had had full conviction of their purpose for years, whereas Lmost Brits even at this point, Were reluctantly engaging , due to the handover from World Warr I savagery.
The Nazis were supported by Italy and Hitler had staged a Psychological masterclass, by opening Vinci France to make it look like the French had switched sides, he also had the French natural resources,, as well as the German ones and other small countries.And that to the fact that Russia had also supported Germany in the invasion of Poland - This is the real picture of what was facing England, yet HE WAS STILL ERNEST and adamant
I understand why many Americans had such isolationist sentiments, with the horrible memory of World War I still fresh in their minds, but we should have come to Britain's defense sooner. We should not have left them to fend off Nazi Germany's bombs on their own. Whenever I hear a fellow American say "We saved Britain's ass in World War II." Bullshit. Maybe we did save them from losing the whole war, but we took our sweet time doing it, and they held off the daily bombing campaigns of the Nazi air force for a long time before we showed up. Hitler planned to soften Britain's defenses and demoralize its people with the bombing campaign to prepare for a land invasion. But he underestimated the strength and resolve of the British people. With every bomb dropped on London, he only strengthened their determination to endure and eventually defeat him. The United States should have declared war on Nazi Germany the instant the first bomb hit London.
You know we were shipping them war supplies for years before we started fighting right?
Thank you for this, I salute you. Britain was in the war from 3rd September 1939 to August 1945, almost 6 years (and over 6 years by the time the 'Forgotten Army' came back from India and Burma in late '45/early '46, my Commando father included). That's a full 2 years, 3 months before the USA entered the war after Pearl Harbour. Fact.
Nice to hear an honest and humble American. I am Canadian.
I Never normally comment on anything on youtube but @ZachBamfy i thought i would at least point out some of the things that were "given" were part of a lend-lease pact, and a debt that the UK would not fully pay off until 2006 with the interest added to that.
In addition to this the "war supplies" you did not come at a small price either considering that they were often obsolete items remaining from the first world war. The “Destroyers for Bases” agreement is one such example. Under the terms of the agreement, the United States gave the British more than 50 obsolete destroyers, in exchange for territory in Newfoundland and the Caribbean, which would be converted/used as U.S. air and naval bases, so it wasn't as if the aid didn't benefit the US in any way.
Yeah, it pains me as an American to hear other Americans say that the USA basically won WW2. Was it a major player, certainly. Even if the Brits and Soviets eventually defeated Germany, they probably would have been so depleted from loss of life and resources they would still feel the repercussions today. So yes, the USA did WORK. But it did not beat Germany alone.
Who is here after them bastards vandalised his statue 😢😢
@Astolfo they'll probably get gunned down in a matter of seconds or something
If you fight against hitler you are a racist! - the world 2020
He deserves it, he was a war mongering asshat that killed thousands of innocent people
Wasn't even born in Britain... English person born in Malta and I'm practically crying over it
This is from the USA shame on the people who dessacrated a hero
I love the Britishness of his opening tone, "at anyrate that is what we are going to try to do"
This speech is like a poem, absolute art.
“The new world with all of his might and power should come to rescue the old.
one of the Greatest man in History Winston Churchill
Gellmox eats his own faeces
Actually he was a drunken disgrace (He couldn't even stay sober long enough to give his most famous speech) - Real British heros were men like The Duke of Wellington, Admiral Nelson and Lord Kitchener etc
There was a reason why great British men like David Lloyd George and King Edward opposed Churchill. Churchill lost us the empire (not Hitler) and for his own selfish gain too.
kieran allan And you don't think his large personal financial investments in the arms industry during the war was a conflict of interest??
Especially when we were loosing the war badly in 1941 and Hitler was offering unconditional peace (And even an alliance if wished) with the British.
***** What happened to Russia when Hitler offered peace before the war? Are you suggesting that Britain should not have intervened in WWII given the war crimes and atrocities and the aggression which were being perpetrated against it?
Josh Richardson What happened? LMBO Stalin had plans to let Europe weaken itself and swoop in when they're down and out. They never wanted peace, it was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Once Hitler discovered this plan he struck Russia and if he hadn't, all of Europe would have been totally fucked.
*Wipes tear*
when he says "if necessary alone" always gets me.
Kind of shows he's been there, doesn't it.
When you think of what the world was facing in June of 1940. Kind of makes modern day issues seem like nothing.
I always imagine Churchill recording this speech in front of a Union Jack with 'land of hope and glory' playing in the background.
Darth Playroom the Wise I remember that but don't remember the first words of this speech
This was the guy who stood alone against that monster Hitler. Churchill inspired the world to rise up against tyranny. Yes, in a thousand years, this man of men will be remembered.
TheMotz55 the man was a bought and paid for pig. thats all. a piece of shit that was sold out to the jews.
cof-cof-Stalin
Well, thank you for at least proving that there are two types of people in this world: uneducated fools like you who still believe all the media nonsense propaganda and cant think for themselves, and educated independent strong minds who HAVE the ability to think for themselves and see through all the bullshit.
Nazis was a term used by the opposition to make Germany look evil. The actual name is Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP) or a national socialist, but a fool like you most likely never heard of that.
johnnyisfun21 since it took you a week to reply to post this dumb comment i do not take your seriously anymore. national socialism is completely a different idea than modern socialism. in fact the only thing common pretty much is the word socialism. look up how national socialism is a system that follows the laws of human nature and wants people to put effort into the creation of a bigger and better society and not only for themselves. This was the main reason why pre ww2 germany became a superpower in a short amount of time and it took the whole world to bring them down.
