It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: --
“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!”
You don’t see that last link as a publicity stunt? I tentatively suspect that it is—though maybe I should put that under 50% - with a lot of the remaining probability going to blackmail of some individual(s).
This was definitely not the right link to use, at all—how about wikipedia instead? Nor am I sure what point you want to make besides scoring political points—how about specific recommendations?

A nice reminder about the value of one-boxing, especially in light of current events.

Well, when this capitulation happened in 2012 no one except a few “right-wing nuts” seemed to care.
