There is nothing new under the sun
I am still reading A. Einstein's collection Ideas and Opinions. Some of these seem to be naive but most I agree with. Here is one written some time in 1934:
The power of conscience and of international spirit has proved itself inadequate. At present it is being so weak as to tolerate parleying with the worst enemies of civilization. There is a kind of compliance which is a crime against humanity, though it passes for political wisdom.
Do you find it pertinent to the present day stance of the European and, lately, of the US government?
