The Japanese nobleman asked the gaijin:
- You fought on the side of the Dutch rebels who rebelled against the Spanish crown, their rightful ruler. Who rebelled against his overlord is a criminal! Isn't this a mutiny? Yes or no?
Gaijin replied:
- Yes, but there are extenuating circumstances.
- What can be “extenuating circumstances“, when it comes to a criminal rebellion against your sovereign? - asked the nobleman.
- You are a criminal until you win.
The nobleman looked at him attentively. Then he laughed out loud.
Rebellion, revolution - always has a kind of romanticism. However, any uprising has its own laws. This is the obligatory presence of innocent victims! And another strange trend... revolution always devours its creators.
Terrorism cannot be accepted in any form! It's disgusting
