History does repeat itself: as a youngster, I heard Neville Chamberlain appeasing Hitler while turning a blind eye to the reality of burgeoning events in Europe and now we have David Cameron doing exactly the same with Putin’s Russia.

He’s far more interested in reducing the national debt than in defending the country.

Also once again we have an isolationist America ignoring all threats as well. So, if we want to know the future for our children then just look up the history books.

Sad, isn’t it?
