sure, just like Czechoslovakia 1938
“just give me the Sudetenland, this is my last territorial demand”
... and we saw how that worked out ...
appeasement of monsters doesn’t work ... why is that so hard to understand??
You seem to be appeasing Trudeau quite happily …and he is one of the most arrogant underrated totalitarian wannabes of our time
Diplomacy ALWAYS involves appeasement…even if the conditions are “ OK stop killing us and we’ll submit to terms”…which is where Ukraine is going to end up
if both sides are not appeased, you get a Versailles Treaty and simply a lull in war, Russia is not going to accept a frozen conflict..imo. This is a generational problem they are investing a great deal of blood and treasure in resolving
I don’t recall a time when there was ‘peace” in Europe-I grew up in the Cold War era-there may not have been a shooting war going on then, but it certainly wasn’t “peace” as that is defined. Former KGB Putin will never, ever recognize the independence of ANY former USSR member country-he has said many times he would like to re-create that old USSR-maybe the rest of Europe wasn’t listening? Bad as he is, he isn’t stupid-and he won’t be in power forever-so why shouldn’t we just hide and watch for awhile?
In any case, it is a European problem, not ours unless he attacks a NATO ally-which Ukraine is not. Biden has spent all of OUR money making Zelenski rich and supporting the military industrial complex while collecting his 10%-bastante...
So, cancuck_the brain surgeon, what exactly did Putin do that makes him a monster?
Standing up for his country against US/NATO covert invasion, aggression, and broken promises and with an 80% approval rating in his home country?
Get over it. Those Ukes will soon be speaking Ruskie again -- the ones that don't or have not bailed out of what's left of their little country led by a corrupt freak-show clown.
