“But the Poles refused to negotiate. Why? Because they were a proud, defiant, heroic people and because Neville Chamberlain had insanely given an unsolicited war guarantee to Poland. If Hitler invaded, Chamberlain told the Poles, Britain would declare war on Germany.”
Sounds like Pat simply made the point that Poland was emboldened because of Chamberlain's war guarantee. Much ado about nothing. Now let's turn it into a 200 post thread.
It seems that we are the two trying to hold out for some basic standards of intellectual honesty on this thread. Is the problem that folks can’t read, that they can’t think, or that they are just swindlers and cheats? How do they claim to distinguish themselves from liberals if this is what passes for discrimination on this forum?
As for the purported anti-communism, Patty, who has a hard on for the Stalin-loving Putin, forgets the Molotov-Ribentropp Pact where Germany and The USSR partitioned Eastern Europe. (And my comment about Buchanan is no more obscene than his historical revisionism.)
Personally, I surprised that Patty is not dredging up Hitler's silly lie that Poland attacked Germany first.
