My point is that, if the US didn’t get involved in sending materiel to Ukraine, then it WOULD BE our circus and monkeys.
This is analogous to the situation in 1938 when Germany took over the Sudentenland. By giving in, the UK and France set themselves up for a long, horrific war.
Exactly. And what’s funny is that people have airbrushed our appeasement strategy as if we were buying time...
Germany has admitted that Minsk 2 was intended to be the same thing. Appeasement to some, “buying time for Ukraine to defend itself” to others.
If appeasement by Britain was wrong, and “buying time” was also wrong, then logically Germany shouldn’t have appeased Putin and also shouldn’t have bought time for Ukraine to prepare for a very obviously signposted aggression.
It’s consistency Jim, but not as we know it.
War was not yet on the horizon in Europe in 1938 and when it did come Americans were dead set against any involvement in another European war. War was underway in Europe for two years before Pearl Harbor thrust us into it and only because Hitler declared war against us on Dec.10,1941 were we compelled to get involved.
