I wasn't attempting to depict an accurate account of history, but it was Churchill who said, "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 he is given credit by some as stopping Hitler.

Hitler was a psycho who's "ego was writing checks his military couldn't cash" (that's a variation of a Top Gun movie line).

If we get out of the present situation without a WW 3, Joe Biden will be remembered as the key player IMO simply because he united the NATO countries. Had Trump won a second term, we would likely not be in NATO and Putin would own Ukraine now. Putin has to be stopped and Trump has to be stopped. Stopping Putin will be easier than stopping Trump, unfortunately.
