In these tumultuous times, it's worth taking a moment to read this short biography of former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain: https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/appeasement-and-peace-our-time
Chamberlain is best known for a policy he called "peace in our time", but has since become known as appeasement.
In 1938, Chamberlain secured a deal with Hitler that saw Czechoslovakia cede a portion of its territory, known as the Sudetenland to Germany.
In return, Hitler agreed that he would have no further territorial ambitions.
By March 15, 1939, German troops had seized the rest of Czechoslovakia. And by September they had invaded Poland.
In 2025, there's no shortage of Neville Chamberlains on the world stage willing to give up the Sudetenland to appease the likes of Trump, Putin, and Musk.
It didn't work for Chamberlain then.
It won't work now.
