Charles Krauthammer: Worst since Munich
Politico ^ | 11/26/13 | JOSE DELREAL

Posted on 11/26/2013 7:59:07 AM PST by Hotlanta Mike

Charles Krauthammer says he believes President Barack Obama’s deal with Iran is “the worst deal since Munich.”

“This is a sham from beginning to end. It’s the worst deal since Munich,” Krauthammer said on Fox News “Special Report” on Monday. “It’s really hard to watch the president and the secretary of state and not think how they cannot be embarrassed by this deal.”

The Munich Agreement of 1938 between Hitler and major European powers expanded Germany’s borders. Today, the failed negotiation is widely considered an act of appeasement.

The list of those who owe President Obama a debt of gratitude grows: Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and now Neville Chamberlain. Who next?

Yeah, I agree - this gives zero something else to talk about and they were desperate enough to save his sorry ass that they made a world damaging deal.

Heard today that zero plans on bragging about this in the STOTU in January. It’s all about zero - F the world.

Richard Nixon, for forcing Thieu to accept the Paris Peace Accords, knowing full well that his nation was doomed because the US would never return to defend his country, no matter what Hanoi did.

Just to be clear: That 90% of American Jews =/= 90% of Israeli Jews.

I’ve no idea why American Jews predominantly support politicians who hate Jews with such fervor. I’ve often called this kind of thing, ‘suicidal liberalism’.

But not all Jewish folks are as stupid as the people in Hollyweird.

I Didn't read the book, but I have the movie, scary stuff. I wonder if the fallout will drift across the globe and contaminate our farm land. I better get a few radiation detectors before hand, I remember reading how the price sky rocketed in Japan after Fukushima.

When the missiles start flying, it’s over. Judgement day will happen for billions due to 3rd stage missile technology Iran will shortly have. The ME will not be the only target. All of Europe and parts of Russia and China will be threatened. This will not be a regional war.

It’s hard to look at Obama and Kerry, and not think that they are colossal screw ups. Obama showed his immaturity and inexperience when he appointed Hillary, and now he has topped that awful choice with a worse one, Kerry. They aren’t going to broker any treaties that make sense, and certainly none that require intelligence and comprehension of foreign relations. Kerry is the fool of a foolish king.

Sayeth What?
Then Britain and France were pretty stupid to come to an agreement with Poland in case Germany attacked; just look at a map, how were they supposed to help Poland? Poland was also stupid, they thought they were stronger than they were and the Wehrmacht crushed them.

Since Russia came in to partition Poland after Germany had crushed her, where was the declaration of war towards Russia?

While I don’t think Chamberlain was weak, his desire to have peace at any cost, cost them. Churchill knew what was going to happen.

The parallels with “The Mouse That Roared” are too close for comfort.

I call it an act of Treason.

That’s all true. And even if Britain and France has somehow been able to mount an invasion of Germany in 1939, by the time such an operation would have been ready, Poland would have still been overrun, and winter would be fast approaching. And with Germany having a stronger industrial base than either Britain or France in 1939 (or 1938 for that matter) the Germans would have been able to hold any plodding WWI-style invasion launched by those nations, until its greater resources were brought to bear. The only hope for a sucessful invasion of Germany even in 1938 would be if the Soviets decided to stab their beleagued ally in the back by invading—but they’d have to pass through Poland first, a tough job without Germany. And as for not declaring war on the USSR in 1939; the Soviets were seen as merely taking back those parts of Poland rightfully belonging to the Ukraine (they were populated mostly by Ukrainians and Jews, not Poles).

I really don’t think it would be as dire as the book makes it. The atmosphere is constantly being scrubbed by precipitation so there would be high areas of contamination(rain forests and the like) and lower areas. Not very pleasant though for all involved.

It seems likely to me that Iran is going to have nuclear weapons. Maybe at that point, Iran, Israel and Pakistan will get together and agree to just blow up the entire Middle East so that they can all get back to Biblical times.

Never said that. Only that Iran (and North Korea) cheerfully improved their nuclear capability on his watch. That is all.

“As long as Jews vote 90% liberal,”

They came from Russia and Europe evading persecution not
communism. Most remained devout communist and helped plant
the seed here. It’s only fair to say that they would vote
for Obama because he is a communist. And like true commies,
they have no problem sacrificing their own people for the
common good.

That’s a very broad statement. Care to provide any details (by state/electoral votes, for example)?
