Who is 'we' here. The US didn't do anything in 1938. And the Brits and have done so lots of times since then. And lets not pretend the US doesn't have a long history of ceding issues to dictators if convenient. Handing over Afghanistan to the Taliban is apparently totally ok, but not defending Crimea is like the Münich conference. Looking at isolated cases in history you can come up with lots of example for anything and everything. Its a typical politician move to pick the singular events and then act as if it is a universal lesson for every situation. One can make the argument, but just say 'Münich' as if it settles everything is dumb.
