Appeasement.

Last edited Tue Oct 8, 2019, 11:30 AM - Edit history (1)

Do you recall learning about how the Allied countries appeased Hitler in the lead-up to WWII? Oh, go ahead, take Poland. No one will miss it. Norway? Have at it.

This is how it feels to me with drumpf.

Appeasement doesn't end well.

1. It was the lead up to WWII

2. Appeasement occurred over Rhineland, Austria, Czhechoslovakia

3. Poland triggered UK/France to declare war. Norway was contested unsuccessfully.

But, yeah, Trump needs to be stopped.

Still he never survived the failure of Munich politically. But remember that the voters of the UK roundly sent Churchill packing and elected a new Labour government once the war was over.

IMO the time to stop the appeasement was when the '****-grabber' audio was released.
