Why did the Brits fight the Nazis in WW2 and yet will do nothing about a murderer called Mugabe?



    




the devil wears camo
simple answer to this one,
1/England was at war with Germany,
2/England is not at war in Africa.
3/Germany posed a threat,
4/Africa does not
5/Hitler was a murderer,
6/Mugabe is a murderer,

the UK is not the world police but i do agree that for once the world should sit up and take notice of current affairs in that area and needs be and they do then Mr Mugabe should be given a 7,63mm Armour piecing round straight through the head.
EDIT ,for pacifist warmonger,i care what happens,I'm sick of the rigged elections,I'm sick of the killing of the innocents,I'm white but that does not make me proud to say it,i feel for Africa but I'm one man but i will always stand up and be counted.


Chris P
entirely different things - Nazi Germany posed a direct threat to Britain, Mugabe does not

however, yes i agree, we should depose him and his regime.


Charlene
There are a lot of other countries nearby that could deal with it but don't. Why should UK have to solve all the problems in the world.

mugabe is not a direct threat to the UK, i mean hes not going to invade us is he ?

the nazis were trying to take them over. Operation sea lion. Air raids, bombing London. I'm not sure when the Brits got involved but they didn't stop France from being conqured. And next stop was England. Mugabe is no threat to London.

America ( financially ) and Nazi Germany destroyed Britain as a Global policeman. America took over the role and just can't/won't do the job.

Because Mugabe isn't all up in their face threatening to overrun England. Hitler was.

Oh, and its Africa. Not since the end of slavery has a white person cared about Africa; at least from what I've seen.

Mugabe is not about to invade Britain. Zimbabwe doesn't have huge oil reserves either otherwise the Americans would have invaded by now.

Because Mugabe does not threaten world peace, and has not shown any signs for expansionism. It's not our job to police the world.

It's not in the UKs interests to stop it happening. The citizens are perfectly capable of an uprising.

Plus, as a country, we're broke.

One was a threat... the other isnt Ian Smith had the right idea . To keep Rhodesia under white rule everyone would have benefitted

Mugabe's country has no oil,times are changing as are priorities.peoples lives are of no significance anymore. It has been replaced by greed.

Because we had a treaty with Poland!Regards to Zimbabwe!It is solely an African affair!

Because the politicians of this world are full of hypocrisy, they only do what suits there masters, the mega rich of this world.
By the way Iraq, Vietnam, korea etc etc never posed a direct threat to the UK or The USA


Gerry Atrix
The people of Zim fought for Independence. They got it. Now they have to live with their choices. Let the African nations sort out their own problems. If the UK/US tries they wont be thanked but vilified.
I agree what is happening is awful but I say let them sort themselves out. Tribe by tribe.

Take no notice of some of the idiots that have tried to answer your sensible question, never mind oil or money, what about the torture murder rapes, and the turmoil he is causing there economy, WHY THE HELL IS HE GETTING AWAY WITH IT, Come on South Africa, Zambia Kenya ect ect pull your finger out and show the rest of the world what you can do to help, By the way WERE IS THE A,N,C

In 1940 we had the Battle of Britain - an attempt by the Nazis to invade UK. We're talking a serious situation here which thankfully ended either in a deadlock or a withdrawl on the part of the German Luftwaffe - I'm not sure that the RAF actually won but the fact is the Germans could no longer sustain their existing losses.

Mugaba is not our problem, in spite of him always mentioning Britain as being the cause of his problems. It has nothing what-so-ever to do with UK.

Zimbabwe - formerly Rhodesia, declared USI (Unilatereal Declaration of Independance) under the then leader Ian Smith. Ian Smith, a former Battle of Britain RAF fighter pilot took his country out and on the road to independance.

Later, along came Mugabe, backed by the British Labour Party. He got into power and intends to stay their forever - that is, until he is dead, which cannot be many years off now as he is already 80+.

What to do?

Stand back and let Mugabe and his gang stew in their own crap.

Mugabe has not invaded a foreign country, as Hitler did with regard to Poland, who Britain had an alliance with.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish-British_Common_Defence_Pact

Britain is now a medium size power, with few ties to modern day Zimbabwe.

Furthermore we already have 4000 troops in Iraq and 8000 deployed in Afghanistan, as well as a further peacekeeping battalion in Kosovo as part of EUFOR. The British Army forms part of the NATO's Rapid Response Forces, the EU Rapid Response Force and Eurocorps designed for such global operations.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocorps

http://www.arrc.nato.int/

http://euobserver.com/13/26341

Perhaps the EU, NATO or the UN may be inspired to do something, but Britain is no longer a global power and can not be expected to shoulder such burdens on it's own, particularly at a time when we already have so many other commitments.

Mugabe is no threat to the safety or economic strength of the kingdom. He is not the UK's or the US's problem. Thos epeople know what the problem is and how to fix it. Giterdone!


Reggie
hate wars wish everyone could live in peace and Mugabe has not threatened Briton?


nosdda
We fougt Nazi germany because they invaded Poland. We cannot do anything about Mugabe because he has not broken any international laws, and if he did, then it is up to the UN to decide what action to take.
No action was taken against Idi Amin for the same reason.


W D
Cos we are short on money to do such things, bcs of Iraq, Afghanistan etc..


ting tong
fuk Africa... cost us enough money that flee pit has! every time we even look at the place it costs us billions. wots even worse is that irish **** hole Bob fukin Geldof brings back that foul fukin song.
