I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war." Winston Churchill said in response to Neville Chamberlain's assertion that the Munich Agreement had achieved "peace with honor," shortly after the agreement was reached.

According to direct quotes, Hitler viewed the Munich Agreement as "a worthless piece of paper". The U.S. negotiating directly with Russia, essentially leaving Ukraine out of the negotiations, directly mirrors the British/French/European "appeasement" negotiations with Hitler over the Sudetenland.

Czechoslovakia was left out of negotiations for annexation of their own land by Nazi Germany. Putin should trusted to abide by any agreements made with respect to ending the war in Ukraine in exactly the same framework as Hitler. He will view those agreements as "a worthless piece of paper."

I deepest hope is that NATO / European countries can pull together with a unified plan to support Ukraine, so that they will not be left to be torn apart by the Russians on one side & the Trump administration on the other. Continued European support right now gives Ukraine leverage.

Zelensky wasn't given a chance to present Ukraine's position...Trump/Vance thought they would dictate to him. He stood his ground. He's seen far worse from the attrocities of the Russians than the two school yard bullies he met with.

Having just watched how Vance & Trump tried to browbeat Zelensky, I am beyond angry at the arrogance and rudeness that our so-called leaders displayed to a once-ally. I am totally on Zelensky's side on this.
