I'm sorry to clip your rebel wings, but the US isn't going to start a new Cold War on account of a coup in some Eastern European country.
You drastically overestimate the importance of this event for an average American. It's just another popcorn moment on TV. Remember Egypt? No? Well, no one does now.
- anatoly 13y agoYou're not saying anything new to me. I realize the average American doesn't care. The average American (or Briton) didn't care when Hitler carved up Czechoslovakia either. Nobody cared about some Eastern European country back then. And that's why history judges Chamberlain the way it does, and that's why history will judge Obama. (I'm not saying the outcome will be the same. Nothing repeats exactly. We might not get WW3. Maybe we'll get lots of local territorial wars slowly ramping up, as the international order that held firm through the worst years of the Cold War broke down in the time of stupid, lazy, weak US and European leadership. Circa 2014 is when it started, the books will say).
