I believe the event that actually triggered WW2 to start has to be remembered.

What?



I have had to leave this pic in Russian - for the stupidity of LJ code writers I cannot post new images, sorry.

Which is clearly how many people accepted it: Russia thrown out of decision process, hurray, hurray, it's a holi- holiday.

Were there whistleblowers?
For sure, there were some. In France and UK, and even in Poland, too.
They were in a very, very limited numbers and there was too little steam in their whistles. These whistleblowers were way too inimportant and the public opinion was strongly against their offer.
Somehow it all turned around in two years - which brings us to the issue of what impact a single human being can make.






And the morale is:

'Before blowing your whistle ensure there's other people around to hear it. Otherwise it's gonna be a blow-job...'

To quote Lincoln: "What is our present condition? We have just carried an election on principles fairly stated to the people. Now we are told in advance, the government shall be broken up, unless we surrender to those we have beaten, before we take the offices. In this they are either attempting to play upon us, or they are in dead earnest. Either way, if we surrender, it is the end of us, and of the government. They will repeat the experiment upon us ad libitum."
