So in '38 Hitler signed the Munich Agreement where if he got a small piece of Czechoslovakia (Sudetendland), then there would be no further demands. Sudetendland had a pretty decent sized German-speaking population, and the Czechs didn't have a chance in Hades of preventing it. He was granted that territory, but then half a year later he broke the agreement by invading the entirety of Czechoslovakia (who again, was simply unable to prevent it).
The agreement to allow Hitler to have that piece of territory is looked at upon by historians as a huge blunder as it was the first appeasement to Hitler's Germany and emboldened him into believing that the West would not risk war.
The Ukraine situation is different how?Last edited by Kung Wu; February 23, 2022, 03:07 PM.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!

Boy, it would be nice if the U.S. was energy independent. Funny how that is another wrinkle here. In Europe's quest for green energy and the U.S. throwing our golden goose in the river for no damn good reason, we have handed Thor's hammer to Russia.
But, please tell me again how Trump was bamboozled by everyone on foreign policy."When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Better have some sugar and water too, or else your lemonade will suck!

If not for Biden’s many mistakes (Biden in June after Russian cyber hackers attacked our pipeline without action warning for Russia not to cyber attack 16 infrastructures, although I guess others ok, then Afghanistan, then several weeks ago Biden green lighting Russian aggression as long as no all out invasion of Ukraine), Russia would have been wary of expansion. Right now, we have 3 very dangerous, and aggressive countries in our world. Two have nuclear weapons (Russia, and China), and one will have nuclear weapons (Iran) shortly. Those 3 countries have extreme designs on changing the world order.
Another major Biden mistake is not keeping America as a fossil fuel leader, which is still a major asset to our foreign policy.

The Axis of Evil that caused WW2 were Germany, Japan, and Italy. The new extreme Axis of Evil could very well be Iran, Russia, and China. The 3 are communicating with and protecting each other. Watch how things progress in the next few years.

I am fascinated by WWII and particularly interested in Hitler's rise to power, so I have read up on some aspects of those.
