What if?

I’m reading “Warlord,” Carlo D’Este’s biography of Churchill from birth to 1945.

Fascinating book and it brings out the “What if…..?” in me.

Little known fact. There were over 180,000 English, French, and other troops in Russia in 1918 protecting various ports and such. Think what would have happened if the West had intervened on the side of the White Army?

Can you say 50,000,000 or so would not have been killed over the next 50 years?

Then we have the Germans in 1936 taking back the Rhineland as the French sat and watched. All they had to do was push back and the Germans would have left and WWII probably wouldn’t have happened. There’s 15 million or so.

When the Communist Chinese was about to take over the mainland our State Department declared them Agrarian Reformers. If we had supported the Chinese, how many would have lived? 20 million?

Or more? Certainly North Vietnam would not have attacked the South. 15,000,000?

Now, have we learned our lesson?

Nope. Iran keeps working on its nukes and we keep hoping.

Problem is, you can’t pet a snake.

And hope is between hell and horror in the dictionary.
