Humiliation often leads to horrendous consequences! It is a lesson we should learn from history. And one that is applicable to many areas of our lives.
Germany was defeated in WW 1. The humiliation following that defeat resulted in the desire for the people of Germany to find their pride again. Hitler seemed to be the means of recapturing their national pride. Hitler created the rescue the Germans in the Sudeten! Czechoslovakia could not stop the overwhelming force of the Nazis and soon the German people of Czechoslovakia were reunited with their German brethren.
The Soviet Union collapsed. They were humiliated by the failure of their own making. Now, following their humiliation they are determined to re-establish their pride. Georgia may only be the first!
When you are humiliated and taken for granted as being toothless, it is easy to respond, often with violence. Hitler did it, and now Putin is doing it! It can be dangerous to jab the bear through the bars.
There are dozens of correlations. They are worthy of our consideration! These are very dangerous times.
