When the dust of war settled, millions lay dead. And three countries - ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡น - were wiped off the map. As we celebrate the end of WW2, letโ€™s remember its lessons. Attempts to buy oneself stability by feeding the aggressor the freedom of others leads to catastrophe. For all.

Some said we had to be โ€œrealisticโ€. They said that getting the occupiers to leave would be โ€œimpossibleโ€. They asked us not to โ€œrock the boatโ€. But we didnโ€™t listen. And with the free world united behind us, we got the occupiers to leave. All of them.
