We Europeans seem to have forgotten our history. There were other times when we have stood by while a militaristic European power insisted that it had the right to intervene wherever it wanted to advance the interests of those who claimed shared ethnicity from the Baltics to the Caucasus.
我们欧洲人似乎忘却了自己的历史。曾经有过那些时刻，从巴尔地干到高加索，当某个军事欧洲国家坚认，为了维护那些声称享有相同文化的人们的利益，它有权去干涉它想干涉的任何国家，那时我们曾袖手旁观。
