Winston Churchill remarked to Chamberlain: "You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour, and you will have war".
The parallel between Chamberlain signing away a slice of Czechoslovakia, and Trump signing away a chunk of Ukraine, to appease a dictator, can't be missed.
Here is more parallel, from the net sifter:
When Germany was given the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia through the Munich Agreement, Hitler gave assurances that this was his last territorial demand in Europe and that the integrity of the rest of Czechoslovakia would be guaranteed. He promised to work for peace and improve Anglo-German relations. However, these assurances were not genuine, as Hitler had no intention of abiding by the agreement and proceeded to break up the rest of Czechoslovakia less than six months later.
Peaceful intent: Hitler claimed that annexing the Sudetenland was his final territorial demand in Europe and promised that Germany would no longer be interested in the Czech state once it solved its problems peacefully.
Guarantee of the state's integrity: He guaranteed the future integrity of Czechoslovakia and stated that Germany did not want any Czechs.
"Peace for our time": He signed a statement with British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain that expressed hope for future peace between Britain and Germany. Chamberlain famously presented this as a guarantee of "peace for our time".
Broken promises: Hitler's assurances were a lie. Less than six months after signing the agreement in September 1938, Germany invaded the rest of Czechoslovakia in March 1939, with Hitler breaking up the country and making the remaining Czech lands a German protectorate.
Steve...can't see Putin as "bubba" tho, not fat and sloppy enough
