-“In late 2019, I read an article on RT news in which Putin was arguing with the revisionist historians about WWII who wanted to change history. Putin mentioned “the Munich Betrayal,” but it was not explained what it is. Sincere question: what is the Munich Betrayal?”- A Friend
This topic requires more than a few tweets. The Munich betrayal was the appeasement of Germany by the handover of germanic Czech territory.
However, ‘betrayal’ fails to grasp that:
a) containing the bolsheviks/communists was equal or more important than containing the germans/fascists.
b) the people in politically Czech territory were in fact Germans,
c) the post-napoleon restoration of the HRE/Germanic federation/empire.
d) the same had been done to the Russians prior to the war by the English and french etc (preventing retaking Constantinople, and restoring the orthodox civ).
So moralizing events is misleading, and rearview mirror moralizing naive. The French Revolution started it, Napoleon, did the dirty deed. Think of Napoleon and France as continuing the wars of religion between feminine latin authoritarianism and masculine germanic meritocracy.
- The French were the most backward country in Europe and the french revolution the most dramatic and violent. The germanic countries modernized fine. The French didn’t. They were still a ‘catholic’ country with authoritarian tendencies. (like the Russians).
- the Napoleonic conquest of Europe and the ideas of the french revolution were spread by force as were Arab Islam and Jewish Communism. A counter-reaction against the wars of religion.
- Betrayal presumes people are more than bots. They aren’t. They’re bots. This is an ancient dispute between people in an Atlantic to Urals spectrum, just as China had the north-south spectrum of people in their ‘warring states period’. The Chinese managed to homogenize but lost their rate of adaptation. Europeans didn’t manage to homogenize and maintained their rate of adaptation.
- Our betrayal is (a) not saving the Russians from the Jewish bolsheviks, (b) not leaving the germans a path to reconstruction without totalitarianism, (c) not saving the Russians when the soviet union collapsed. (d) Anglo virtue-signaling policy is ALWAYS WRONG EVERY TIME.
- And (e) Perhaps worst of all, we didn’t suppress the Jewish communist, socialist, neo-marxist, and postmodern movements in the 1950’s because we were drunk on our own virtues, the certainty of our cultural and institutional victory.
