Peace in our time ... but no mention of how awfully short our time will be.
Obama’s entire presidency has been based on suspension of disbelief.
His and his moronic followers from the pseudointellectual class right down to the “Free Sh** Army”. The ones with other priorities.
LOL, Obama making Mr. Chamberlain look like a Super Genius
The fact is that Britain’s position was mostly irrelevant with regards to Czechoslovakia in 1938 and this is consistent with Britain’s position in Europe in the preceding 3 centuries. Britain had the world’s greatest navy which gave it status as a world power, but it’s army was always historically small, and it’s influence on the continent was realatively weak as one among many. During the Napoleonic wars and other European wars, Britain projected power on the continent via diplomacy, money and coalitions.
At the eve of WW2, Britain had a small expeditionary land force and a small Air Force. An Anglo French land force would have had little chance of driving through Germany and rescuing the Czechs. For Britain, this would have been an expensive proposition and would have diverted funds from growing its nascent Air Force. Of course, a capable Air Force was needed for the Battle of Britain 2 years later as it turned out.
The only real power on the continent capable of checking Nazi aggression in Central Europe was Stalin and Soviet Russia. Of course, Stalin had nothing to do with Munich.
0bama is a much different political animal than Neville Chamberlain. Unlike Chamberlin, 0bama’s position does give him the power to curb Iran. 0bama could simply continue the sanctions and make it difficult for Iran to accumulate the resources needed for nuclear bomb making and delivery systems.
Unlike Chamberlain, 0bama is intentionally and deliberately destroying the US economy and its military strength. The best historical parallel would be V. Lenin’s actions during in 1918, when, in order to consolidate power, he ceded about 1/3 of Russia (most of Ukraine, Belorussia) to the Germans in order to end the war. Lenin managed to weaken the nation economically via communism and militarily vs Germany so he could conquer his domestic enemies in the ensuing civil war.
No, 0bama is not a Chamberlain, he is a Lenin.
It is Peace for our Time.
Find the Chamberlain recording and listen to it and to the sultan’s words and notice the resemblance of tone and substance. The main difference is something you can’t hear; Chamberlain thought he was doing good for his country.
This is like Chamberlain making an agreement with Germany as Germany is invading Poland, except it is a lot worse than that.
As Winston Churchill remarked “When given a choice between
war and dishonor, you have chosen dishonor and you will get war”
Neville Chamberlain was sincere.
YES, I agree. Chamberlain effed up but he doesn't deserve to be insulted by comparing him to Baraq.
Happy Easter everyone.
