In his autobiographical work The Second World War, the legendary British Prime Minister Winston Churchill wrote:
“We promptly responded to the sporadic attacks on London at the end of August with a retaliatory strike on Berlin. Because of the distance we had to cover, this could only be a modest bombardment compared to the attacks on London from nearby French and Belgian airfields. Members of the War Cabinet were eager to strike back, raise the stakes, and challenge the enemy. In my opinion, they were right, and I thought that nothing could have made more impression on Hitler and disturbed him than this testament to British fury and determination.
Why this look at the 1940 Battle of Britain? Because of the Ukrainian urgency of the events of the time: The Occupied Kingdom struggled with German supremacy – until Hitler abandoned his plans to conquer the British Isles. The militarily insignificant bombs on Berlin had the greatest psychological effect. It is said that Hermann Göring, commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe, said: “If even one enemy bomber appears over Berlin, my name will be Meyer.” British bombs were falling, and the Germans knew they were at war with us.
Winston Churchill saved not only England, but the entire free world, by his struggle for existence against Nazi superiority, which was ready to make any sacrifices.
Oh no, history doesn’t repeat itself. But some historical events are similar. And shed some light on what’s going on. For example, in Ukraine for more than a year – and just a few days ago in Moscow: drones exploded in the Russian capital, many in the elite area where the official residence of Vladimir Putin is located. Didn’t the president explain to the Russians that there was no war, that the attack on Ukrainian democracy was just a “special military operation” and that anyone who publicly used the term “war” would be prosecuted?
And now it’s drones over Moscow! Militarily, they are insignificant, but they make it clear to the people what the criminals in the Kremlin cannot but say: Russia is at war!
What will they ever read about Ukrainian drones in Volodymyr Zelensky’s autobiography? Considerations have been expressed in the Western media as to whether an attack on Moscow is permissible at all. Ukraine emphasized that it had “nothing direct” to do with this, taking into account peace-loving and pro-Russian circles in Europe.
Meanwhile, from the capital of Estonia, Tallinn, shortly before the European Russian front, a direct text came: “Legitimate military targets outside their own borders are part of the self-defense of Ukraine” – Kyiv has the right to attack Russian territory.
So said British Foreign Secretary James Cleverley. He knows about Churchill’s decision to bombard the German mind with war.
Yes: Now, too, yesterday.
Yesterday’s teaches today that it’s all about everything again: the free West – including the freedom of those contemporaries who think deeply about the onset of Ukrainian resistance on TV talk shows or at home on the couch – are Ukrainians allowed to do this, or are they not allowed?
Winston Churchill answers this question in his book “The Second World War” – in the chapter “London stands firm”.
