The deadly danger here

00:00:02.501 --> 00:00:06.922

is this romantic fantasy of fighting to the end

00:00:08.674 --> 00:00:10.134

What is the end

00:00:11.135 --> 00:00:14.013

if not the destruction of all things

00:00:14.346 --> 00:00:16.474

There's nothing heroic in going down fighting

00:00:16.557 --> 00:00:17.933

if it can be avoided

00:00:18.999 --> 00:00:21.353

Nothing even remotely patriotic in death or glory

00:00:21.437 --> 00:00:23.564

if the odds are firmly on the former

00:00:24.023 --> 00:00:27.026

Nothing inglorious in trying to shorten a war

00:00:27.109 --> 00:00:28.652

that we are clearly losing

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.637

الخطر المميت هنا

00:00:02.737 --> 00:00:06.068

هي الفكرة الرومانسية الخيالية للقتال حتى النهاية

00:00:08.729 --> 00:00:10.008

ما هي النهاية

00:00:10.978 --> 00:00:13.423

إن لم تكن تدمير كل شيء

00:00:14.337 --> 00:00:18.012

لا شيء بطولي في القتال إن كان بإمكاننا تجنبه

00:00:18.169 --> 00:00:21.722

الوطنية ليست أكيدة سواء في الموت أو المجد

00:00:21.822 --> 00:00:23.932

إن كانت احتمالات الفوز من جانب واحد

00:00:24.032 --> 00:00:27.002

لا شيء شائن في محاولة تقصير مدة الحرب

00:00:27.011 --> 00:00:29.755

التي نخسرها بوضوح نخسرها

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.585

Le vrai danger mortel

00:00:02.752 --> 00:00:07.002

c'est le rêve romantique de se battre jusqu'à la fin

00:00:08.758 --> 00:00:10.051

Qu'est ce que la fin

00:00:11.998 --> 00:00:12.097

sinon la destruction de tout

00:00:14.388 --> 00:00:17.767

Mourir au combat n'a rien d'héroïque si cela peut être évité

00:00:18.142 --> 00:00:21.646

Il n'y a aucun patriotisme dans la mort ou la gloire

00:00:21.813 --> 00:00:23.523

si l'on est certain de mourir

00:00:24.023 --> 00:00:26.818

Il n'y a aucune honte à vouloir abréger une guerre

00:00:27.001 --> 00:00:28.486

que nous perdons

00:00:28.653 --> 00:00:29.695

Nous perdons

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:05.013

Die tödliche Gefahr liegt hier in der romantischen Fantasie

00:00:05.213 --> 00:00:07.132

eines Kampfes bis zum Ende

00:00:08.675 --> 00:00:13.179

Was ist denn das Ende wenn nicht die Zerstörung aller Dinge

00:00:14.264 --> 00:00:17.892

Helden gehen nicht kämpfend unter wenn es vermeidbar ist

00:00:18.001 --> 00:00:20.052

Tod und Ruhm haben nichts Patriotisches

00:00:20.603 --> 00:00:23.648

wenn ersterer weit wahrscheinlicher ist

00:00:23.982 --> 00:00:26.151

Es hat nichts Unehrenhaftes einen Krieg

00:00:26.234 --> 00:00:28.278

zu verkürzen den wir eindeutig verlieren

00:00:28.361 --> 00:00:30.864

Verlieren Europa ist noch

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.878

Satu satunya bahaya di sini adalah khayalan

00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:06.838

untuk berjuang sampai akhir

00:00:08.757 --> 00:00:10.991

Apakah itu akhir

00:00:11.003 --> 00:00:13.051

jika bukan kehancuran akan segala hal

00:00:14.302 --> 00:00:17.765

Kalah dalam perang yang dapat dihindari bukanlah heroik

00:00:18.001 --> 00:00:21.601

Tidak ada patriotisme dalam kematian atau kemuliaan

00:00:21.643 --> 00:00:23.645

jika kemungkinannya sangat tipis

00:00:23.978 --> 00:00:28.357

Tidak memalukan mencari jalan keluar ketika kita jelas kalah

00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:29.441

Kalah

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.121

ma ci espone anche a un pericolo mortale

00:00:03.282 --> 00:00:04.918

L'unico pericolo mortale qui

00:00:05.018 --> 00:00:08.957

e' questa idea romantica di lottare fino alla fine

00:00:11.008 --> 00:00:12.355

Cos'e' la fine

00:00:13.252 --> 00:00:15.695

se non la distruzione di tutto

00:00:16.607 --> 00:00:18.728

Non c'e' niente di eroico nel lottare fino a soccombere

00:00:18.828 --> 00:00:20.279

se si puo' evitare

00:00:20.436 --> 00:00:23.984

Niente di vagamente patriottico nella morte o nella gloria

00:00:24.084 --> 00:00:26.192

se la bilancia pende dalla parte della prima

00:00:26.292 --> 00:00:29.268

Niente di inglorioso nel cercare di accorciare una guerra

00:00:29.368 --> 00:00:32.998

che stiamo chiaramente perdendo Perdendo

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:06.067

Смертельная опасность заключена в романтической идее бороться до конца

00:00:08.072 --> 00:00:10.007

Что есть конец

00:00:10.097 --> 00:00:13.041

Если не разрушение всего что можно

00:00:14.032 --> 00:00:16.044

Нет ничего героического в смерти на поле боя

00:00:16.054 --> 00:00:17.099

если этого можно избежать

00:00:18.015 --> 00:00:21.007

Ни смерть ни слава не имеют ничего общего с патриотизмом

00:00:21.008 --> 00:00:23.009

если преимущество у другой стороны

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.098

И нет ничего постыдного в попытке быстрее закончить войну

00:00:27.998 --> 00:00:29.072

которую мы очевидно проигрываем Проигрываем

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.711

El peligro mortal del que estamos hablando

00:00:02.793 --> 00:00:07.009

es esta fantasía romántica de luchar hasta el final

00:00:08.799 --> 00:00:10.302

Qué es el final

00:00:11.052 --> 00:00:13.513

sino la destrucción de todo

00:00:14.472 --> 00:00:15.641

Morir en el combate

00:00:15.723 --> 00:00:18.001

no tiene nada de heroico sí se puede evitarlo

00:00:18.309 --> 00:00:21.772

Ni tiene la muerte ni la gloria nada remotamente patriótico cuando

00:00:21.854 --> 00:00:24.001

la posibilidad de salir victorioso está claramente en las manos de ellos

00:00:24.106 --> 00:00:26.777

No tiene nada de vergonzoso acortar una guerra

00:00:26.859 --> 00:00:28.654

que claramente estamos perdiendo

00:00:28.736 --> 00:00:31.406

Perdiendo Europa aún
