Russia-Poland relations strained over “revised” historyLeaders from 20 counties are in Poland, the first country that was attacked by Nazi Germany, to mark the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of Second World War. |
It`s the Russian "Ministry of Truth" at it again? "Poland was never invaded by USSR. WW2 started in 1940. Katyn never happened. Gulags didn`t exist. Stalin was a God-sent saint on earth. Life is much better now!"
The winners {if there are any} of wars always get to write the history of the war as they see fit. A totally defeated country doen't have much clout. History tells us that we must remember history to prevent the mistakes of the past but politicians seldom look back. They just sort of move whereever the wind blows and if they are wrong they try to put the blame on someone else..
Let's start at the beginning. When President Woodrow Wilson got America into WW1, and instigated the Versailles Treaty, he was guaranteeing WW11. England and France owed America 5 billion dollars, a huge sum then. they said to Wilson help us os we won't be able pay you. They never did anyway. America was in a depression in the 30's. FDR saw the war in Europe as a way out. He commited actions guaranteeing Japan would invade as well. Study history and you'll find America's footprint in practically all the wars. If we had stayed out of WW1, who knows what would of happened. You can't be quick to judge Germany.
