Is Ukraine About to Become the Next Czechoslovakia

 For readers who may not be aware of Pre World War Two History.

After defying the Versailles Treaty by taking back the Rhineland, expanding German armaments, and achieving a union (Anschluss) with Austria, Adolph Hitler and his NAZI Government set its eyes on the German speaking Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia, threatening invasion of that nation unless it surrendered that territory.

With treaty obligations to defend Czechoslovakia, Britain and France instead took the route of appeasement and concluded with Hitler, and Mussolini as a mediator, the Munich Pact/Agreement which gave Hitler the Sudetenland in exchange for assurances that he would not launch a war. 

From Wikipedia. From Left to Right; Neville Chamberlain, Edouard Daladier, Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Galeazzo Ciano. 

The Czechoslovakians were not invited to the conference. 

Neville Chamberlain, upon landing back in Great Britain, proclaimed in he had achieved "Peace in Our Time."

Hitler thought of the spineless appeasers as “Our enemies have leaders who are second rate. I saw them in Munich, they are little worms."

Fast forward 86 years later and people should be asking is Ukraine about to become the next Czechoslovakia?

Is Trump the spineless Chamberlain about to sacrifice Ukrainian territory to appease his friend Putin in Russia. 

Remember Hitler swallowed up most of the rest of Czechoslovakia months after taking the Sudetenland and promising there would be no more acts of aggression. A few months after that, he and Stalin invaded Poland to reclaim once German and Russian territories. 

Are people so naive to think that Putin, when people are not looking, will take the first presentable opportunity to swallow up the rest of Ukraine and perhaps other former Soviet held territories if spineless appeasers like Trump, who has been repeatedly on record saying how much he despises N.A.T.O., turn a blind eye on the obligations of collective security. 

The current President of the Czech Republic was quoted in a social media post.

Sources say that the first call between Trump, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, along with Elon Musk, following the election, went well. 

However, two days later in Budapest, Zelensky dismissed Trump's calls for a quick peace, saying that would hurt Ukraine. 

Earlier today (November 10, 2024,) Donald Trump Jr. mocked the Ukrainian President, writing on social media "Was 38 days from losing your allowance."

Americans should be very concerned if Trump sacrifices Ukraine on the alter of appeasement. 

The last time that happened, World War Two started in Europe a little over a year later. 

People need to remember and learn from history and prevent something like this from happening again. 

Do not repeat the mistakes of Munich.
