And then Chamberlain returned to England, telling crowds in London the Agreement meant "peace in our time?"
Not sure why that's come to mind lately.
Also, why is Greenland in the news so much lately? Is something happening?

“Learning from Hitler. Where #Trump ’s 28-point plan resembles the #MunichAgreement of 1938 and where it differs.” MHC co-director, historian Schulze Wessel about similarities that “cannot be overlooked”: www.lmu.de/mhz/de/aktue...

‘As the lower inscription reads, the Czech Pavilion “though unfinished” is “maintained by its friends in America.” Facade of the Czecho-Slovak Pavilion.’

‘Even after Germany's occupation of Czechoslovakia, construction continued on that “murdered” nation's pavilion.’

Munich Agreement, which had just been signed in September of that year, because of an outpouring of public sympathy in the US.
#NYWorldsFair1939 #CzechRepublic #Slovakia #MunichAgreement
IF you forget the past you will be condemned to relive it:
In an effort to sustain peace in Europe, Chamberlain and Hitler agreed unilaterally that Germany could annex Sudetenland. Hitler agreed not to invade Czechoslovakia.
THAT went so well.

Trump-Putin talks in Alaska echo #MunichAgreement fears, as Putler seeks to restore Russia's power like Hitler did.
Yet, Trump could pressure Putin with sanctions and arms to Ukraine, forcing a retreat to 2014 borders
“O nás bez nás " is a Czech saying,
"About us, without us," which reflects idea that decisions affecting a group
should not be made without the participation of that group‼️
Phrase gained prominence in context of #MunichAgreement 1938
where #Czechoslovakia was partitioned without its consent 😑
Putin will give Trump a choice between dishonoring Ukraine or war.
Trump will chose dishonor and he shall have war.
#MunichAgreement
Fuck off with that, #USA. That's Czechoslovakia 1938 talk. You know what happens when you appease an #AggressorState.
#MunichAgreement
No one except #Ukraine itself can make such a decision. #tRump can #TakeOff with that nonsense.

the Munich Agreement, which recognized the Czechoslovakian province of Süddeken for German extortion (Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain) appeasement policy has a history of causing WW2.

The Munich Agreement of 1938 showed the dangers of weakness in diplomacy—appeasing aggressors can lead to disastrous consequences. Critics argue halting cyber operations could remove a critical deterrent against Russia. #MunichAgreement #PeaceOrWeakness
Leaders of the free world rally around President Zelenskyy #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦 #СлаваУкраїні
❗️Stop Russian appeasement - witness the failure of the #MunichAgreement of 1938, symbolic of the dangers of appeasing aggressive governments, which resulted in WW2. www.historyextra.com/period/secon...
Reading #VirginiaWoolf 1938 Diaries (and later) it is about the devastating and shameful #MunichAgreement How French and British (without the Czechs present) thought they would tame Hitler by sacrificing part of Czechoslovakia… we all know how it ended… well let’s hope European leaders too
US gives $120B in aid and wants $500B+ mineral deal with zero guarantee of future aid, assistance and threats of more Russian aggression.

The issue is switching sides during an on going land war and pulling support. then forcing the defending side into negotiations without even having them at the table. #MunichAgreement

“About us, without us!”
" #Betrayal of the #West "
was a popular slogan that summarized
the feelings people of #Czechoslovakia
after #MunichAgreement & reflected people
anger that they were not included in discussions
about their fate

About #Ukraine, without #Ukraine in #SaudiArabia 📌
Sitting there, clueless, opposite Lavrov, Putin's Rottweiler, w/ 20+ years of experience.
It's like "Liddle Marco" is a primary school kid v a Masters' class.
🇺🇸will get walked over by🇷🇺
🇺🇦🇪🇺will be sidelined
It's #MunichAgreement all over again. And we all know what happened after that
G-d help us all😱
