“Peace for our time”

• wakawaka28 2y ago
  We can't defeat Russia in a regional squabble, much less strategically (as the risk is too high if we let it escalate). The potential for more conflict in the future is not an excuse to never seek peace. If you think there is another conflict coming, we can prepare for that, but this crap can't go on. There won't be any Ukrainians left at this rate.

    Ask actual Ukrainians how they feel about your faux concern for their lives.

      Do you mean the soldiers dying by the thousands, their girlfriends partying in nightclubs as it falls apart, the ones profiting from the war, or the ones who fled the country? Regardless of what anyone thinks of my concern for the Ukrainians, they aren't winning and continuing to fight will impoverish the US and lead to perhaps millions of additional deaths. I care about Ukrainians but not enough to start WW3 over. If you're not suicidal, you'll think the same.

  The reason the western allies wanted to make peace with Hitler was because they had a role in creating him and re-arming Germany in order to create an anti-communist bulwark state. They were surprised when this Frankenstein creation backfired on them and then told a big story about how they are the good guys. If you think about Poland, they were probably psyched that this insane anti-communist regime was moving eastward.
