I wonder how we would have felt immediately after Munich 1938, without the benefit of hindsight. Would we have cheered Chamberlain?
I don’t quite know yet what to think about this, I’m taking more of a ‘wait and see’ approach, but I am cautiously optimistic.
Well, as I see it, we suspended the military drills in exchange for Kim Jong Un’s promise to denuclearize.
I know we’ll keep our part, but will Kim keep his?
Who comes out the winner here?
“Would we have cheered Chamberlain?”
The press cheered Chamberlain thereby propagating the myth.
Seasoned diplomats knew better. The Great War was fairly fresh in their minds, they knew the end of WWI was brokered by something much less than a proper governmental representative, and they knew the penalties imposed on Germany were very harsh, considering that the German borders were never breached by allied forces. Quite extraordinary in retrospect. Coupled with a devastating recession all made the populist National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NAZI) very appealing to the downtrodden masses.
Because you have NO interest in thinking an merely are failing around with you your usual pathetic need to find something to whine at Trump about.
Comparing this to Munich is about a grotesquely stupid an analogy as it is possible to make.
Trump got everything and gave away nothing. Hardly anything at all like Munich. To make that comparison you have to be a complete historic imbecile and, at the same time, wholly ignorant of what happened yesterday.
Face it, you are just squealing today because you still pouting your go Cruz lost the 2016 GOP Primary.
YOU LOST get over it finally,.
Munich? Really - you’re comparing this to the MUNICH “deal?”
Hogwash.
1. We’re withdrawing NO forces.
2. The Norks are not getting permission to invade South Korea.
3. The Norks are going to have to dismantle their nukes and rocket program.
4. We still have sanctions in place.
5. Trump isn’t saying “peace in our time,” but only that it is possible, and that MUCH more work needs to be done, and that all of the NK promises will have to be verified.
I cannot think of an agreement that is more DIFFERENT than the Munich abortion than what is in place.
Did you recently travel to NYC or SF and drink the water?

It's an interesting comparison.
Part of the difference is the times we live in.
Hitler didn't have the capacity to threaten millions of American lives within an hour. and we were not technically (still) at war with Germany in 1938.
