Neville Chamberlain Great Britain

Trump An Appeaser Of Russia Openly, Willing To Sacrifice Ukraine, Sending Dangerous Message That Can Also Affect Taiwan’s Future!

Ronald 9 Comments

It is well known that Donald Trump has an affinity for dictators, particularly Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation.

A Senate committee headed by Marco Rubio stated in 2019 that Russia had intervened in the Presidential Election of 2016 to favor Trump over Hillary Clinton.

Trump has denied this, but now he is pressuring Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine, which has been fighting a brutal war of survival against Russia for nearly four years now, to give up part of their territory and other concessions to Russia, giving a deadline of Thanksgiving.

In the middle of this mess, Rubio, now Secretary of State, is caught in turmoil, and seems confused as to what is going on, as he has a long history of being hardline toward Russia and other autocracies!

Donald Trump has no problem becoming the new Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain, who conceded Czechoslovakia to Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany in 1938, which did not prevent the coming of World War II.

What Trump is perpetrating is a threat to NATO and, specifically, to Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania, all part of the old Soviet Union before 1989, and also to Poland.

Trump’s conceding to Putin is also a warning to Taiwan, with the growing threat that mainland China claims it will take over that island, as in their view, it is part of their nation, rather than an independent nation, as it has been since 1949.

THe lessons of history are being ignored, that giving in to authoritarians never works out well for democracies, particularly when there are unreliable allies.

The Unstable, Unpredictable Behavior Of Donald Trump

It is a well known reality that Donald Trump has unstable, unpredictable behavior.

Regarding Ukraine, Trump has been all over the map, so to speak, seemingly backing Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but now, suddenly, demanding Ukraine make major concessions to Russia, after nearly four years of war and sacrifice.

Therefore, Trump is behaving like Neville Chamberlain of Great Britian with Adolf Hitler at the Munich Conference over the future of Czechoslovakia in 1938, which led to World War II, and Chamberlain being labeled as an “appeaser”!

Regarding New York City and its new Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, Trump termed Mamdani a “Communist”, and threatened cutoff of aid to the city, being totally hostile.

But suddenly, yesterday, there could not have been a more cordial, friendly meeting between the two men, with Trump wishing that Mamdani have a successful Mayoralty, truly mind blowing.

At the same time, Trump threatens execution of Democratic critics who warned military personnel against obeying illegal orders, as the military takes an oath to the US Constitution, not to any specific government leader, including the President.

This has led to death threata against these legislators.

So Trump’s behavior is unpredictable and dangerous, as there are signs that he has dementia, falls asleep in public, and makes irrational statements daily.

Is Donald Trump The New Neville Chamberlain Of Appeasement?

Eighty Seven years ago, in October 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain made a deal with Nazi Germany’s dictator Adolf Hitler, to hand over, peacefully, part of the nation of Czechoslovakia (the Sudetenland), to avoid possible war, without consulting that nation.

Less than a half year later, Germany seized the rest of Czechoslovakia, and then in September 1939, World War II began.

Chamberlain went down in history for the act of appeasement, making it clear for all time that one does not give in to a dictator, in the thought that doing so will prevent future conflict.

Rather, one must stand strong and be willing to defend freedom and democracy.

Generations of students have been taught this lesson, but now, Donald Trump seems ready to kowtow to Russian Federation dictator Vladimir Putin at the upcoming Alaska Summit this Friday, over the issue of the continuing assault on Ukraine since February 2022.

European nations in NATO and President Joe Biden have supported and supplied Ukraine with the ability to resist the Russian invasion, which has been brutal, but now Trump seems ready to hand over a portion of Ukraine to Putin, rewarding an aggressor, whose intention is to conquer all of that nation, in his bid to restore the former Russian Empire.

Trump, already perceived as overly willing to favor Russia, including the reality that Putin wanted Trump elected in 2016, and collaborated in bringing that result about, is ready to commit appeasement, undermining the international order, and with no concern for Ukranian democracy.

Already, the horrendous mistreatment of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Oval Office meeting in February was disgraceful beyond belief, and with Vice President JD Vance another disgraceful appeaser in his own right, joining in the assault on Zelenskyy before the entire world.

Vladimir Putin KNOWS he has the number of Donald Trump, and international stability is in danger, as all Trump wants is to win the Nobel Peace Prize, no matter what harm it does to democracy around the world.

If anything, Trump should win an award for the Appeasement Prize as the successor to Neville Chamberlain, whose reputation in history lies in tatters!

Trump, Vance, Rubio Are The New Appeasers, A La Neville Chamberlain!

It is very sad and disturbing that Donald Trump, JD Vance, Marco Rubio and the rest of the Trump foreign policy and national security team are defying the Republican record on Russia, which has always been strongly to repel the Russians, whether the old Soviet Union, or the present Russian Federation under Vladimir Putin.

The Republican Party prided itself historically as being tough on Russia, trying mightily to surpass the Democratic Party in that regard.

But really, all Presidents of both parties saw Russia as the ultimate rival that was a threat to world peace, and specifically to our European allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

But now, the Trump team is demanding that Ukraine concede the loss of territory to Russia in Crimea from 2014 and the more recent losses since 2022.

They also demand that Ukraine never be allowed to be a member of NATO.

What Trump and his team are doing is catering to Russia, and asking Ukraine to give up its sovereignty.

And for Trump to claim, wrongfully, that Ukraine started the war against Russia in February 2022 is an absolute outrage!

Trump, Vance, Rubio et al are practicing appeasment as Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain did toward Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany over Czechoslovakia in 1938, but that led to World War II the following year.

Giving in to bullies emboldens them further, but Trump and his team are not learning from history, and are endangering American national security as well as all of the NATO nations and our Asian allies!

This appeasement will only embolden China toward aggression against Taiwan, and North Korea to become a threat to South Korea and Japan!
