If we give Czechoslovakia to Germany, it will end the threat.....

I have heard lots of chatter recently about how the story we have been told since WW2 that it was all the Germans fault is wrong, that behind the scenes the Brits were driving conflict as a way to attempt to rebuild and save the British Empire.......there is a major new book out on this.
Oh, he's definitely got kompromat on trump, no doubt about it.
Yes they want that, as long as they don't have to pick up a gun.

Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in the early 90s. Didn't anybody tell you, shit for brains.

As many throughout history have pointed out, one needs to choose their battles carefully and decide what is and isn't worth fighting for. Are the territorial gains of Russia in this worth fighting over? Would a peace with concessions be the end of the fighting between Russia and Ukraine? These are questions that need answers and the answers might be, give up some land that doesn't mean much and have a lasting peace.
Yep. Isolationism doesn't work. Period. The fallacy of you "America-Firsters" is that you think all trouble will stop at our borders.
Reagan knew you were wrong which is why he funded the Contras and tried to trade arms for our Americans held hostage in Iran. The presidents who presided over the two world wars we won knew it.
All your doing is mirroring whatever whim comes over the MAGA base.

We're engaged in world politics. That doesn't mean we have to be engaged in every little regional war that occurs.
The Contras are our backyard, not halfway around the world.
Agree to disagree about the distance away where fellow democracies are under attack. By the way, trump wants to send rockets into Mexico.

Actually, Putin lost the right bank of the Dnieper River, including the City of Kherson. Putin has been unable to successfully cross the Dnieper River again. If he did, he would run into heavy fortifications.
What Putin is demanding is we force Ukraine to hand over those heavily fortified lands, and steal it from the millions of Ukrainians that live there. In return, Putin will give a short term promise not to invade Ukraine. A promise he has broken repeatedly in the past.
In this way it is very similar to the Munich Betrayal. Czechoslovakia gave up the heavily fortified Sudetenland on the promise that Hitler would take no more. Hitler quickly broke that promise.
Ukraine already took them back. Why would we want to give Putin in a peace agreement that which he could not take in war?
That is just objectively false.
From 1935 to 1945, Baldwin, Chamberlain, and Churchill were Prime Minister. All were in the same political party, literally called the Conservative Party. It was right wing.
From 1932 until the fall of France, Lebrun of the Democratic-Republican Alliance was President of France. That was a fairly right wing party too.
So are you saying Russia is Germany?

Maybe you should actually read up on them.
From 1932 until the beginning of 1939 Chamberlain:
Import duties Act (1932) slapping a 10% tariff on everything imported into England (mostly to help pay WW 1 debt)
Passed the Unemployment Act (1934)
Slashed defense spending by over 50%
Coal Act (1938) nationalizing the coal industry
Passed the Holiday with Pay act (1938)
Housing Act (1938) that subsidized housing of the poor and working poor
In France...
The Republicans got separation of church and state passed and were radical Leftists. Don't let the name fool you, they weren't US Republicans.
In 1936, more than half of the French parliament seats were filled with racial Leftists, including out and out communists, socialists, and assorted other radical Leftists.
Many industries were nationalized, and industrial production took a nosedive. Rearmament didn't start until well into 1938 and then it was a cluster fuck of idiot bureaucrats and government setting design and production that resulted in lots of cost, shit equipment, and little getting made.
