On October 4, 1938, the then opposition of Britain, Winston Churchill, criticizing his country’s Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who a few days ago to this day, on September 30 of the same year, signed the Munich agreement, has said, “England has been offered a choice between war and shame. She has chosen shame, and will get war.” Chamberlain and the French President Deladienne, as we know, signed an agreement with Hitler and Mussolini, according to which the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia was ceded to Germany. This was how the West was trying to win the favor with Hitler so that the latter would not wage a war against it and the opposite, to attack the Soviet Union.
About one year later, on August 23, 1939, the Soviet Union signed an analogue shameful agreement with Nazi Germany, the “Ribbentrop-Molotov”, “agreeing” that Hitler would not attack our country. As a result, Hitler attacked everyone. In other words, in both cases, the West and the Soviet Union chose shame, and in both cases, they got war as Churchill had predicted.
The fact that the Muslim terrorists obsessed with the “Caliphate” delirium captured one of the most famous cities of the ancient world, the Palmyra (which is now in Syria), and we can confidently say that they will not leave a stone on a stone from this city’s millennia cultural heritage, it is a shame first and foremost to the United States, and then, the rest of the civilized world. And why to the United States? Because the “Islamic state” has grown and developed in support of the United States and its allies – Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Here are the consequences of the attempts for “establishment of democracy” in Syria.
The fact that Russia is in a war in Donetsk and Lugansk, it is primarily a shame to Europe, and then again to the whole world. It’s worse than the Munich deal because Europe pretends to be discontent with Russia and imposes sanctions. Is there an option to agree upon and somehow share the Ukraine, let you agree, and, in this case, it is very possibly, we would get closer to the situation that preceded the World War II. The second option is to withdraw the Russian troops from there by using force, and it will also lead to horrible deaths. Therefore, it is said: a choice between war and shame. Making angry statements is not a choice at all.
