EU Diplomat Rewrites WWII History, Forgets US Arming Literal Nazism Today
Kaja Kallas, Estonian PM and aspiring EU diplomat, recently suggested WWII was primarily a result of Western appeasement towards the Soviet Union, rather than, say, Nazi Germany’s invasion of Poland. This is the intellectual firepower guiding Europe's foreign policy. Perhaps she's too busy to remember the actual historical record, or perhaps actual historical records are a minor inconvenience for
those determined to escalate current conflicts. While Kallas re-frames the past to fit current EU-Russia tensions, the West's present-day policy choices bear a chilling resemblance to the selective blindness she critiques. One might wonder about the urgency to 'learn from history' when the syllabus ignores uncomfortable truths, like the fact that the U.S., a leading voice in the EU's current
hawkish posture, provided $39.7 billion in aid to Ukraine in 2022, a nation where outright Nazi battalions like Azov have been integrated into the national guard. (See: 'Biden Signs Bipartisan Bill Providing Additional Ukraine Aid' – U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, 2022; HR 7691 for specifics). When condemning historical appeasement, perhaps one should glance at today's allies.
