When the words “nothing can be done” are spoken for individuals they sometimes mean precisely that. For nations the meaning is different. They don’t mean everyone will cease exist. But it means they will change into something they never dreamed possible.

He was fighting for the survival of nation in the sense of its conciousness. It’s culture. He knew this, but it has been forgotten. And forgetfulness is perhaps the real dementia of civilizations. William Manchester wrote of Churchill’s curious exaltation during the Finest Hour.
