Russia: Poland responsible for WW II [300]
And still much worse off than Poland
"still much worse off than Poland"???Erm...are you sharing the same reality with me here Sokrates? :)
Do you really believe Poland lives in a happy bubble?
Germany and Poland are going to be such intertwined in the coming years you better pray Germany is going to be well!
As for your pretty myths
If you call that a "pretty myth" how would you call Serbians reasoning!
you sticking to Versailles, Poles sticking to the facts
The fact that without the new borders, Germany losing 1/4 of their territory, millions placed now in new hostile countries as opressed minorities there wouldn't had been a Hitler or WWII?
That Europe would had been better off in the end without a Poland?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Versailles
Wilson's friend Edward Mandell House, present at the negotiations, wrote in his diary on 29 June 1919:
...To those who are saying that the treaty is bad and should never have been made and that it will involve Europe in infinite difficulties in its enforcement, I feel like admitting it.
But I would also say in reply that empires cannot be shattered, and new states raised upon their ruins without disturbance.
To create new boundaries is to create new troubles. The one follows the other. While I should have preferred a different peace,..
Just a myth for our smart Sokrates?
French Field Marshal Ferdinand Foch, who felt the restrictions on Germany were too lenient, declared, "This is not Peace. It is an Armistice for twenty years."[23]
But of course Sokrates knows better....
i'm seriously going to puke if i have to discuss this particular topic.
Understandable...
doesnt cover the details of what Albanians did to Serbs, of course Serbian responce was absolutely clumsy and they've shot themselves in the foot by commiting genocide but military intervention alone was fully justified.
Astounding again as you see Serbian wish for a greater Serbia at the cost of their co-yugoslavs is an acceptable reason for you but Germany's even more dramatic and drastic changes brought on them from the outside are not...
But then...what else to expect!
imagine that the Swiss start carting off their German citizens into the woods, burning them in barns and such and tell me Germany wouldnt invade.
Depends on who started what sh*it...
