Na ja, Churchill hat diese Entscheidung nachträglich bitter bereut.
Von ihm stammt in diesem Zusammenhang der berühmte Spruch: "Wir haben
das falsche Schwein geschlachtet.":
In Churchill's single-minded decades-long obsession with preventing a
single hegemonic power from arising on the European continent that
would pose a threat to the British Empire, he failed to see that his
alliance with Stalin produced exactly that. "As the blinkers of war
were removed," John Charmley writes, "Churchill began to perceive the
magnitude of the mistake which had been made." Churchill is alleged
to have blurted out after finally realizing the scale of his blunder:
"We have slaughtered the wrong pig!"
But it was too late. For decades Churchill worked for the destruction
of Germany. Yet only after Stalin had devoured half of Europe did
this "great statesman" realize that destroying the ability of Germany
to act as a counterbalance to Russia left Europe ripe for invasion
and conquest by a resurgent Russia.
By 1946 Churchill was complaining in a voice of outrage about the
Iron Curtain of tyranny that descended on Eastern Europe. But
Churchill helped to weave the fabric.
