“If Ukraine’s leaders behave as meekly as Edward Benes, Ukraine’s fate will be like Czechoslovakia’s”
The “Leaders” (Svoboda/Right Sector) are screaming for blood, but the people they are telling to do the killing don’t want any part of it.
They are told that they are being sent to fight “Russian Infiltrators”, and are encountering old ladies and crowds of civilians instead, with a few armed militants thrown in.
As soon as the Right Sector grabbed power, anyone with any knowledge of the area knew the Donetsk Basin area was going to have a problem with it.
Be fair, Benes didn't have much say, England and France basically pushed him out of the way in Munich.
