Disgusting. Even more digusting that doing so is probably celebrated by some politicians as diplomatic "reasonability".

Holy cow, they really mean that serious. I know it is just another one in a long row of examples of slimey submission of cowardly, spineless weaklings begging to get slapped, kicked, spit and nailed, but every once in a while it still makes my overpressure valves opening up, since I need to take note of such acts of fawining subservience by European and American officials almost every day when skimming the headlines.

Nauseating. It reminds me of wives getting beaten up by their husbands and nevertheless insisting that it is their own fault and the man being a good guy in principle who doesn't mean it, and courts ruling the victim of rape is guilty because it "provoked" the attackers, so the victim must be additionally punished. Both is pathologic, both is expression of fear and weakness, and a seriously distorted understanding of "justice".

It's already hard to bear for a man of honour if he needs to live in times when evil is ruling.

But it is even worse to bear if he needs to live in times where the difference between evil and good is no longer wanted to be known.
