Trump and his sycophants are a disgrace. We'd be lucky to have Zelenskyy as our president, and I thank the Lord he's leading #Ukraine. #resist #istandwithukraine #standwithukraine #fuckputin #fucktrump #fuckmaga

I was just watching "Churchill. His finest hour" on Netflix. There's a moment when, speaking about Chamberlain and Hitler, a historian says it would be like "The American President aligning himself with Russia, today" Well, That's where we are.

No far worse Neville Chamberlain misread the situation and had a legitimate aim to try to create peace (even if premise was misguided and flawed). Trump on other hand is completely given in to a dictator for no purpose other than is own admiration of that dictator. Trump is more like Belarus.

For those citizens of the planet that have the privilege to live in democracy, it is your obligation to contact your local member of parliament and demand that appeasement of the USSA (not a mistype) is not an option.

Chamberlain was weak and under an illusion that dismembering Czechoslovakia will prevent a war. Trump is a bully who is abandoning Ukraine in middle of an existential struggle and MAGA are cheering him on. Sad day for US. It was once a leader of free world.

History is turning kinder towards Chamberlain, who was buying time to rearm Britain. In this case they are letting Russia off the mat and throwing them a lifeline while turning on every allied partner nation Not close to equivalent

Europe isn’t all sensible adults. Remember: Hungary has fallen, Belarus has fallen, Netherlands has fallen, Italy has fallen, Serbia is falling. Austria, Germany & France may fall in the next 2 years.

It was a setup. From the suspect deal onwards. Piecrust promises. Trump drawing on his WWF days, doesn't mind playing the heel, as long as his base swallows it up. Deeply unfortunate political theatre to impress his audience. He either doesn't get it, or he doesn't give a damn.

We need to seize the narrative. It’s long past time to go on the offensive. I’m Cuban. To see this Putin vassal in action was nauseating. Where are the Republicans? It’s time to impeach and imprison these traitors!

Much much much much worse Chamberlain wasn’t actively allying with Hitler and destroying his own countries security as we are seeing Trump and Hegseth do, but instead was buying it time to build it up

Actually, worse. Munich was Munich 2025. The meeting in KSA last week was Molotov-Ribbentrop. This would be more like the Nazis sitting out invading Poland (for a ransom) but blaming the Poles for defending themsleves during the USSR invasion from the east.

Usually in strong agreement with you, but this is a much different situation. If Trump is not a Russian asset, and I believe that Putin considers him such, then he thinks he is playing his own game and doesn't realize how stupid he is.

That's an insult to Chamberlain. We didn't think we were ready to take on Hitler, he bought us time to carry on rearming and training. Trump and Vance have no excuse. The US is not operating from a position of weakness. Utter scum.

At least it could be said that Chamberlain was actually looking for peace however wrong or misguided he was. Trump is just a puppet and he doesn't care about anybody but himself.

Chamberlain gets a lot of bad press, and it's not entirely fair. At the time he met Hitler, the UK was totally unprepared for war, in the year following we geared up to a war footing. Had the war started in 1938 things might well have played out very differently.

Neville Chamberlain was a tragic figure. When you want peace more than you want justice, you can't see when there are worse things in life than war. Like slavery, loss of freedom, and annihilation of your culture and country, all of these things are worth the price of war.

The difference though that chamberlain was a highly skilled and experienced politician who wanted to prevent a war … and failed because he misjudged Hitlers determination to start that war. Todays developments remind me more of the hitler stalin pact.

The Senate voted 79-18 to support Ukraine back in August!! Those Republicans who voted to support Ukraine need to stand up. The future of American leadership in the Democratic world is on the line.

Gee, that invite from King Charles might fall into an awkward moment, is Charles going to be a Chamberlain or a Churchill? Irish betting books will likely go Chamberlain as Queen Elizabeth roles over in her grave. Understanding history matters.

I've read plausible theories that Chamberlain was setting the public opinion up for when Hitler would inevitably break the deal (and that this was coordinated with France). That's why the big show: as soon as Poland was attacked home opposition to war in Great Britain and France was minimal.

There is a difference. Chamberlain was doing what he thought was best for his country even though he was wrong. Trump is either doing what he thinks is best for Trump (so he can turn usa into an oligarchy like russia/hungary) or he really is a Russian asset.

not equivalent but I get your point/intent i was more expecting to see you saying that it wasn't an example of how real strong men behave anyway, what a f'd up thing that was, I cringed at the whole spectacle :-(
