Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) did not take kindly when asked on CNN about outgoing Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) comparing President Donald Trump's about-face on supporting Ukraine against the Russian invasion to the efforts by disgraced British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain to make peace with Nazi Germany.

By Arnold J. Oliver  No sooner had the announcement about a new policy for Ukraine from the Trump administration been made than the cries of “appeasement! Munich! Hitler! Neville Chamberlain” began to ring out from almost all corners of the mediaverse.

Donald Trump has often asserted that the United States commands respect around the world only under his leadership. However, his latest message — a scathing attack on Ukraine and its president — has left observers worldwide and at home shocked and dismayed.

British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain secured what he thought was peace by acceding to Adolf Hitler’s wishes. Are we seeing the same in Ukraine?

Interestingly, as Townley points out, Russia has taken control of about 20% of Ukraine’s mineral deposits under the territory it now controls (which America would be open to exploiting according to an offer made by Vladimir Putin’s aides at the recent talks in Saudi Arabia).

Chamberlain, the Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1937 to 1940, signed the Munich Agreement in 1938 allowing Nazi Germany to annex Czechoslovakia, which he predicted would guarantee “ peace for our time ” but which history has recalled as a failed attempt to appease German Fuhrer Adolf Hitler before the start of World War II.

Speakers denounced Russia's invasion of Ukraine and urged continued support for the embattled country and President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Unsurprisingly, some in Eastern Europe view the current US-Russia talks over Ukraine’s future as a revival of this kind of secret diplomacy that divided the smaller nations of Europe between large powers in the second world war.
