“Did you read the book?”

Yes, I have it right here.

“His idea is that the Poland should have been divided up by Nazi Germany and the USSR and the Poles murdered by them.”

No, Buchanan’s idea was that Poland should have ceded Danzig (a German city anyway) to Germany, and Britain shouldn’t have given its foolish war guarantee to the junta that ruled Poland.

If Britain and Poland had done that, then Hitler wouldn’t have invaded Poland and wouldn’t have forged a strategic alliance with the USSR, and Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union wouldn’t have carved up Poland and millions of Poles and Jews wouldn’t have died and Poland wouldn’t have lost its independence until the 1990s.

In what sense was the British war guarantee a good idea? It turned out to be a worthless guarantee and Poland’s death certificate. It was also Britain’s death certificate as a great power as that stupid war guarantee turned out to be the occasion of the Second World War.

“He advocated the kidnapping of Pius XII by Hitler.”

I don’t remember coming across that one. Buchanan has never been anything but stridently pro-Catholic and I have been reading him for ten years now. That is clear from his latest book and his latest column which happens to be about anti-Catholic bigotry.

This is where we see that Buchanan is uneducated or a liar. Danzig was not part of Poland. It was the Free City of Danzig. (Poland had access to ports) The Nazi took over in 1933 and suppressed Democracy. In 1933. 6 years before the Nazis invaded Poland. Please explain that to me. So his whole premise is based on a lie. But, assuming it was true, even if everything he said about Danzig was true, that somehow justifies the Nazis in invading Poland, Czechoslovakia, France, England, the U.S. etc.? Why is it that England is evil for their guarantee, but Nazis are poor victims who bear no responsibility for their aggressive actions? By supporting the Free City of Danzig, the British forced the Nazis to do all this! Unfortunately, there is absolutely no logic to what Buchanan says. Wake up, and stop listening to that commie.

So if you and Mr. Buchanan are intellectually honest, you believe that any U.S. city which has a population of more than 50% Mexican should be immediately ceded to Mexico. And if the United Stated doesn't immediately do that, and hostile actions taken by Mexico are the fault of the U.S.?
