For, except that it is compounded by the fact nuclear weapons are what's being talked about here and many many times over comounded and made infinitely more dangerous by the instant electronic communication among the lunatic left's millions of moral relatives and every other kind of abjectly-amoral "educated" morons and their PC and other tools of tyranny with which they are armed -- the present scenario is so reminscent of the 1930s appeasement of Hitler and his Nazis as to present only two possible outcomes.
