Churchill, a velha raposa

(tipo, sabe mais com um olho fechado do que ... etc e tal)

This is what Churchill told Parliament, on August 2, 1944, as the Red Army was standing idly by watching the Germans crush the Warsaw Uprising:

“The Russian armies now stand before the gates of Warsaw. They bring the liberation of Poland in their hands. They offer freedom, sovereignty, and independence to the Poles.”

And when some MPs questioned the wisdom of Yalta, Churchill told them:

“Marshall Stalin and the Soviet leaders wish to live in honourable friendship and equality with the Western democracies....I know of no Government which stands to its own obligations, even in its own despite, more solidly than the Russian Soviet Government.”
