Why haven't Europeans learned anything from WW2? [View all]

It's just incredible to me that some of the head of these governments who were victims of Hitler and the German terror machine are too scared to stand up to this miscreant. Why has Carney agreed to participate in the "Board of Peace"? Why is Macron hemming and hawing. What happened to moral courage and strength in numbers? It is absolutely a travesty that they are not heeding the lessons of the 30's and 40's.
