Sorry if I'm being thick here, but I'm still confused. Why is neither alternative real? I get that the US isn't being attacked. However, appeasement in the 1930

Sorry if I'm being thick here, but I'm still confused. Why is neither alternative real? I get that the US isn't being attacked. However, appeasement in the 1930s wasn't a policy enacted by countries that were being actively attacked yet. It was a policy enacted by other countries.
I guess, in my head (and I'd love to hear your take on this), the US doing nothing _is_ appeasement.
- einpoklum 3y agoWe were talking about the US. Other world states are in a different situation - which depends on the country. As for the US - there is no such thing as it "doing nothing". It has been attacking, occupying, repressing, subverting - all the time, in many places around the world, essentially since it was founded. As have other military empires in history.
