| So much the same old historical nonsense still being propagated by people. > Oh yeah, super good idea. We had fantastic experience with humiliated nations before. It worked so well for Germany after WW1 /s Germany was not humiliated. The terms imposed on Germany were not actually as bad, the idea that these were some horrible terms come from a few British intellectuals and German Foreign office. Germany was treated with gloves of silk compared to how Germany treated France and Russia. But the fragile German ego couldn't handle it. And of those terms imposed at Versailles Germany never even remotely payed any of it. I fact Germany took in more foreign loans then they ever paid back. In the 20s Germany basically managed to negotiate all those debts away and before they even paid the little they had left, they stopped paying. What was done to Germany after WW1 was NOT HARSH ENOUGH, and even what was agree on, was not enforced. > Putin came to power because the West didnt help the former Soviet republics Ask Estonia about how that. > If Russia is left alone humiliated again then we will have the next anti-western system in 10 years. They had an anti-western system for the waste majority of the last 300 years. If paying for their crimes with the London flats of of Russian oil millionaires then they will have to live with it. |
