<<He understood, that he needed Russian help to beat Hitler!>> (ref Chamberlain British PM in 1939) I dont think so. Chamberlains whole strategy of preventing another war had been shattered. He didn't know if he was coming or going. A lot of the ruling class of Britain and the USA were great admirers of Hitler and what had been achieved by the fascists in Germany. It was an economic miracle of sorts. A bit like China today I suppose. Hitler and Co were given massive amounts of overseas assistance in the years up to WW2, maybe by the same guys who were able to help arm the British at El-Alamein ? Churchill was already set dead against both the Nazi's and the Communist hordes. He however had been contained by his own massive blunders of WW1 and was completely out of favour with a very pacifist public in the UK. I can see why he played along that the Germans were the only bad guys in town to try and hoodwink the public into a major war with some idea they could win it. Same in the USA, the public were very strongly isolationist and pacifist.... which on the face of it ... is a very sensible condition. And now we have today. Where do we go from here? I have just been backtracking the source of this publication. frontnews.eu It's Georgia. Georgia invaded Abkhazia back in 2008 after there were internal strife caused by "separatists". As usual, it's difficult to find out who started what. As if it matters really. What is true is that much of the Russian elite have their dachas in Abkhazia, and I would have thought that would have encouraged an immediate ceasefire. A damming indictment that human beings are not very sensible. Not the Russian elite... not nobody. en.wikipedia.org
