让我想起二战时英国对希特勒采取了6年的appeasement政策,丘吉尔之前的首相和当时的外交大臣说希特勒根本没有要吞并
欧洲包括英国的想法,评价希特勒too busy building the greatest and strongest ever Germany to invade other countries. compliments to Hitler for "performing great services in Germany"
"Nationalism and Racialism is a powerful force but I can't feel that it's either unnatural or immoral!...I daresay that if we were in these fellows (指the Fuhrer and Goring)'s position we might feel the same. "
英国外交大臣这样评价恶贯满盈的Goring "His personality, with that reserve, was frankly attractive, like a great schoolboy...a composite personality - film star, great landowner insterested in estate...."
当时的英国继续appeased即使看到Gemany used force to annex a territory populated by a majority of ethnic Germans. Sudetenland was a pivot point.
俄罗斯在做同样的事情,不仅侵占克里米亚,乌东,当时是要拿下基辅的,所以才有基辅保卫战,不是要侵占乌克兰做附属,攻击首都目的何在。今非昔比的是,现在有美国,有北约的震慑,否则俄罗斯不会止于此,这是独裁者的共性。上面那种自欺欺人的appeasement的人还在一代一代上演着,历史就是为了重复。
