JD Vance's ex-Marine cousin takes flamethrower to the VP's ass....

I know that you have never suggested that anything that Obama has done was in any way bad. Tell me what your opinion was on his appeasement. I do not think we should or will remove ourselves from NATO. And yes, I am certain that Ukraine membership in NATO will be on the table in these discussions, such an agreement would have to involve more than just one NATO nation though.

Again, you have no idea what I've said about Obama, critical or otherwise, as I was not on this board when he was POTUS. There's no point in trying to discuss anything with ppl who want to put their own words in my text box.

Which is why I asked you what you supposedly said. Tell me all about how much you hated appeasement then. I'm happy to listen. I do know what you have said here, and you have given no indication that you would ever say a bad thing about any Democrat. I'm willing to apologize if I am wrong and you have some negative opinion on Obama's appeasement, but I am not willing to change my opinion without evidence or pretend I have not built the opinion on information as it is based on my experience with you on the board.

I disagree with appeasement no matter what flavor the current POTUS is. There, happy? Now we're done since your idea of discussion is trying to tell me what I think. Ciao!

What did you say back then? How do you define Appeasement? I'm interested. It goes against my experience with you on this board that you would say anything negative about a Democrat in office. Even with a dementia patient in office I never heard word one negative about the braindead hero of the left whose handlers exited the office just recently, this tells me that you are not in the habit of speaking negatively about anyone with a blue jersey.
 
I don't know if it does depend on that from what I have seen here. What I have seen here makes it seem that everyone on the left is insisting that any end to the war would be "appeasement"...
And you keep on misrepresenting allowing Russia to take Ukrainian land against Ukraine's will as an acceptable end to the war, while ignoring the likelihood that Putin will not be satisfied until he has it all.
The same folks who continued to support Obama after his weak response after Russia took the Crimean Peninsula are now panicking over someone else signing a deal that creates US interest in the region and ensures US participation and by extension security for Ukraine...
According to Obama: “There’s a reason there was not an armed invasion of Crimea, because Crimea was full of a lot of Russian speakers, and there was some sympathy to the views that Russia was representing.”

A large majority of Crimeans feel that being part of Russia would improve their lives
You didn't seem to care that it was carved into parts in 2014, never suggested it was "appeasement" though Russia maintained control of Crimea and the saber rattling came to nothing.
There was no support from Europe or the rest of the world for military action in Crimea.
That's a winning argument there for you. It has about the same impact as the "more desperate escape flights than ever before" as a reason for us to cheer. It was a debacle in every way, he didn't listen to Generals, insisted on a specific time and abandoned people, equipment, and folks literally dripped from our desperate escape flights to their deaths on the Tarmac. Pat yourself on the back for "it wasn't worth the billions it cost to create that abandoned equipment"... <SMH>
That "abandoned equipment" was bought and paid for by the Afghan government. All the sophisticated electronics and guidance systems that would have made it useful to the terrorists was removed or destroyed prior to leaving it.

The entire right-wing version of events is the same old exaggerated propaganda you all are known for.
Your braindead hero sucked at every single thing he did in foreign relations, every action he took led to the invasion in Ukraine and the funding of Hamas and attacks in the ME, his weakness destroyed real lives.
Give me a break. I bet you never said anything similar about Bush.

Under Bush and the Republicans, our nation was attacked on our own soil for the first time since Pearl Harbor. We responded by invading the wrong country, Iraq, who had nothing to do with 9/11. Then we wasted even more billions in Afghanistan bombing the desert rather than going after Bin Laden, who BTW was finally eradicated BY OBAMA.
I know that you have never suggested that anything that Obama has done was in any way bad.
Nobody is perfect but compared to Bush, who I know you have never suggested anything done by was in any way bad, Obama was an effective statesman.

Bush was a moron.
Tell me what your opinion was on his appeasement.
Just because you call it appeasement means nothing.

When a Democrat acts militarily even if it's just supplying weapons and support, you lying hypocrites scream "war monger!!!". When they decline to get involved militarily, you cry "appeasement".

The ass licking trump is giving to Putin is the real appeasement but you liars refuse to acknowledge it

On what do you base that? Your orange god has said on many occasions he wants us out of NATO. Given the spinelessness of the Republican Congress, there's little reason to expect an effective opposition if/when he and Putin decide it.

MASSIVE HYPOCRISY ALERT!!!! ^^^^^^ :palm:

I want braindead back. It was much better than this mess we have right now. I miss Sleepy Joe, our nation was in much better shape.

Dood. I spent quite a bit of time trashing tRump... So, nope.
You'd have to provide some evidence of that for me to acknowledge it.

And I truly wonder if what you call "trashing" was just some minor policy disagreements, and if this trashing was only done prior to him becoming the nominee in 2016.
Though I would say that you also have never said one word against any Democrat... Well, maybe RFK Jr.

Wrong.

I have been highly, vociferously and passionately critical of the extreme left, progressive wing of the Democratic Party.

If you don't believe that, ask @Phantasmal and @ThatOwlWoman , both of whom I've engaged in heated arguments with over various aspects of wokeism and progressive social policies.

I'm sure you must recall me describing myself TO YOU as a centrist Democrat with conservative leaning social views.

If not, I'll go ahead and do it right now ...

***I AM A CENTRIST DEMOCRAT WITH RIGHT LEANING SOCIAL VIEWS. I HOLD IN DISDAIN AND DISAGREE WITH AND DISAVOW ANY ASSOCIATION WITH WOKE PROGRESSIVISM AND THOSE IN THE FAR LEFT WING OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WHO PRACTICE IT. I FEEL THEY ARE MISGUIDED AND NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF MAINSTREAM AMERICA. FURTHERMORE, I THINK THE THINGS THEY'VE ADVOCATED FOR ARE PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OUTCOME OF THE LAST ELECTION.***

There.

Now you can never again make the false claim that I have never criticized any Democrats.
 
So, my best guess is in your mind you will find "End to war = Bad".
I have noticed there is a desperate attempt to "rephrase" the trump policy to try to make it sound palatable.

Was forcing the Czechoslovakians to surrender the Sudetenland a good idea? According to your phrasing, it has to be and to disagree with it is saying "end to war = bad." The reality is that it did nothing good for Czechoslovakia, and certainly did not get "peace in our time."

The Ukrainians are willing to fight for their survival. The way to end that war is to allow the Ukrainians to survive. Killing the Ukrainians is not what is normally meant by "peace." It is not a good way to end the war.

Ukraine has always offered a cease fire without preconditions. The fighting can end whenever Putin wants. It only began because Putin wanted it. They have agreed to trump's 30 day ceasefire, but they agreed to an indefinite ceasefire before that.

Putin is demanding "preconditions", which are basically a surrender. Ukraine would have to give up the ability to defend themselves, which means Putin would invade and conquer Ukraine.

As for demanding Ukraine "kiss the ring", or "bend a knee." When did these become a requirement for peace? Are you saying you support killing children until someone kisses your butt?
 

Post-2022: Calls for Territorial Compromise​

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion, some Western voices have advocated for Ukraine to cede territory—such as Crimea or Donbas—in exchange for peace. These proposals, often framed as “realism,” draw parallels to the 1938 Munich Agreement, where Czechoslovakia was forced to surrender the Sudetenland to Nazi Germany. Ukrainian leaders and many analysts reject this, arguing that appeasing Putin would only embolden further aggression, given his track record of violating agreements like Budapest and Minsk. Historical parallels to Hitler’s expansionism after Munich are frequently cited to underscore the risks.

Analysis and Patterns​

Ukraine’s history of appeasements reveals a recurring theme: concessions to stronger powers, particularly Russia, have rarely secured lasting peace or sovereignty. From Pereiaslav to Minsk, agreements intended to stabilize relations have often been exploited to Ukraine’s detriment. The 20th century’s lessons—especially the failure of appeasement with Nazi Germany—resonate in debates over Ukraine today, with many arguing that only decisive resistance, not compromise, can deter Russian imperialism. Conversely, some contend that Ukraine’s geographic and historical entanglement with Russia necessitates pragmatic diplomacy, though evidence suggests such approaches have historically delayed, rather than prevented, conflict.appeasement.

@Grok

The history of "appeasements" did not solve the problem.
