Listening to the recent podcasts about this from "The Rest Is History," it was striking (and appalling) how Czechoslakia itself was left out of those talks.

In today’s case it’s more than appeasement, it’s active rehabilitation of a regime fighting democracies around the world.

You know, the thing we used to be against.

It is EXACTLY that and we know where the world was a year later.
Hitler didn't take the win and go home...
Neither will Putin

Wake up, U.S., the Trump regime is priming the pump for WWIII

That is precisely what the EU's Kaja Kallas said at the security conference in Munich last week. Here's how she described it. https://youtu.be/fVd8FwTi38o?t=303

The impression that the Russian Federation and the United States are now discussing Russia's ultimatum, which Putin set at the beginning of a full-scale war, — Zelensky

Trump is turning the United States of America

into Putin’s Russia.

Changed my FB (I’m an Army Brat, it’s my connection to school friends from bases that no longer exist) picture to a map of the Sudatenlands two weeks ago.

"Although these talks concerned the future of Czechoslovakia, no Czech representative was present."

There are no illusions as to what appeasement will bring. They are being openly transparent.

Czechs undoubtedly felt more optimistic about Chamberlain than Ukraine does about Trump. Chamberlain’s intentions toward Czechoslovakia ≠ Trump’s intentions toward Ukraine. Trump and Putin are negotiating how to split the booty. Scary stuff!

I admittedly don’t know as much about him as some others but I don’t think Chamberlain was actively rooting for Hitler at the time.

It really doesn’t matter what the motive was, it was an obvious mistake that doomed millions. We’re about to do it again.

Giving the bully your lunch money today ensures you will never have lunch money again.
