Scarborough On 'Minor Incursion': Not Saying Biden Is Neville Chamberlain, But... https://

Pro tip for Joe Scarborough: If you want to deny that you're comparing Joe Biden to Neville Chamberlain, don't breathe Biden's name anywhere near that of Chamberlain's.

Sadly for Scarborough, he has ignored our tip. On Morning Joe, he said:

"If you are so desperate for peace, if you are so desperate. Neville Chamberlain was desperate for peace. I'm drawing no comparisons. I'm just saying, if you are so desperate for peace that you just won't consider war, or at least aggressive countermeasures. They need to start sending the right signals. They [Obama-Biden] sent the wrong signals in 2014. They're sending the wrong signals now."

Another Chamberlain anecdote:

The man that didn't shoot Hitler

British war hero, Pvt. Tandey, serving in WWI took a bead on a shell-shocked German messenger who stood, recovering from a nearby shell explosion. The distance between them was short, maybe 50 yards, but Pvt. Tandey lowered his weapon and the German soldier fled.

Twenty or so years later, at Berchtesgaden, the story was told by Hitler to Chamberlain, as Chamberlain asked about a painting on the wall of a British soldier carrying a wounded comrade down the street of a destroyed French village.

Chamberlain recognized the soldier as Pvt. Tandey, a well-known British hero. Upon his return to England Chamberlain had his office get in touch with Tandey to tell him who that man was that he did not shoot.

Upon learning this, Tandey was reportedly distraught, and the story haunted him for the rest of his life.

Men do strange things under stress during war, sometimes heroic, sometimes barbaric and sometimes a humanitarian gesture is made, such as not shooting a wounded, unarmed enemy soldier.

Why Tandy did that, is not known, but why Chamberlain told him, is also not known. IMHO, it served no useful purpose.

When Chamberlain was in Munich, the Luftwaffe was just introducing the Bf-109E with the DB 601. The current service versions (A-D) were using 660–690 HP Junkers Jumo 210 series engines.
The Spitfire Mk1 would have handled the earlier versions Bf-109 quite harshly, wooden prop or no.

Whatever MSNBC pays Joe Scarborough it is way too much.

Thank you. You certainly prove my point. Morning Joe is grossly overpaid ... or to put it another way, he has sold his soul.
