Any country that is not fully sufficient in terms of food is open to blackmail from the countries that it imports food from. Britian aided in the starvation blockade of Germany in WW1 and this was a major reason why Germany wanted economic autarky in WW2 and wanted Ukraines agricultural basis.
Obviously because you have food so easily right now, you would not understand having a foreign power deteremining whether you ate or not.
The fact that Hitler was a psychotic paranoid megalomaniac (just like Stalin), with a penchant for having those who were deemed 'inferior', killed, or used as slaves because that was his warped vision of the just and natural order of the right of the german nation to rule, never comes into it then.
Perhaps I'm confusing with another poster... but, for future reference, the Soviet union annexed half of europe because neither Britain (worn down by 5 years of war and privation) nor the United States (who in their leaders naivety couldn't conceive of the ussr harbouring such evil designs) had the resources or the unity to stand up to the soviet union and Stalin's assertion that the blood debt of the Soviets in taking the brunt of Hitler's fighting war, was most of eastern europe.
Churchill understood this, and by the time the war was over, so did the USA, why else did our two nations spend the next 50 years fighting wars by proxy against communism and building up huge nuclear arsenals capable of destroying the world?
But that's the trouble with history, when, like Hitler (and Stalin) you manipulate the facts to suit an ideology that justifies some of the worst of humanities behaviour. Bit like racism really.
Honestly some of this thread has been truly lolworthy, and insidiously correct at the same time; on the one hand as a white englishman I find some aspects of race and immigration worrying, then I hear some of the 'rationale' spouted here and I remember that the real danger is in how we choose to deal with these important issues.
Some of you ought to try living abroad, see how many brown people there are to be scared of then
where whites truly are a minority... lol you'd all have seizures and fall down foaming at the mouth and have to be carried in out of the midday sun
