No, I am saying that Britain shouldn’t have given the war guarantee to Poland. Instead, Poland should have ceded Danzig and preserved its non-aggression pact with Germany, and STAYED OUT of the war like Sweden and Switzerland.
Instead, Poland went to war ... and was annihilated as a consequence of that foolish decision. Hitler and Stalin should have been allowed to go to war and destroy each other.
We would have saved millions lives that way and there never would have been a Cold War.
How can you contradict yourself in one sentence. If Germany and Russia went to war then Poland will be annihilated anyway. In fact, you suggest the one circumstance that could have resulted in a worse outcome for Poland than what actually happened. If the war had happened later and more gradually, Poland would have been even more screwed.
That one war guarantee FORCED Hitler to go on a rampage? Really? I'm not sure I agree they should have done it, but your idea that it outweighs everything is preposterous. How can a war guarantee be so terrible, but invading and bombing a countries that haven't martially attacked you is so innocent. In other posts you decry the U.S. military being deployed in recent circumstances. But you think Germany's invasion of Western Europe is nothing to be criticized. How come you and Mr. Buchanan give, "special privileges," to Nazi Germany that other countries don't get? What is the justification for this double standard?
Here is where Buchanan's third grade logic and ignorance of history trip you up.
There are 2 things you have consistently said:
1. England's war guarantee of Poland is the source of all the trouble's in the world. 2.Winston Churchill is the war monger who caused all the problems in the world.
One slight problem. Winston Churchill had no power and was not Prime Minister when the war guarantee was given.
OOPS! Pat Buchanan is so ignorant of history, he can't even look up a small fact in the encyclopedia. You can try to spin this every way you want, but your two slogans just don't mesh. So, before you employ M.C. Escher logic again, why don't you sit and think, maybe Buchanan sold you a bill of goods. He has to twist the facts to get his theories to work.
The whole, "it's all about the war guarantee," thing reminds me of Al Gore debating. What was it with him, the lock box. You can't use one minor thing to distract everyone from all the major one's. It just won't work.
