I didn’t get the impression he was talking about heads of state. Rather it was “terrorists and radicals.” Maybe the head (I forgot his actual title) of Iran qualifies as that, but I don’t think he was talking about nations with whom we disagree, e.g. Cuba.
But simply “talking” to Hamas et al. and thinking that that will make them stop killing innocents and plotting to kill even more doesn’t have a very a good track record.

Agreed. I’m just saying that merely talking to someone is not appeasement. It’s not the same as telling Hitler he can have Austria.
