You just insulted Chamberlain.  That was a heavy lift, but you managed to do it.  Neville had much more admirable intent and awareness of what was actually happening.

This is the conclusion of a note from General Ismay to the British Cabinet sent on 20th September 1938, marked ‘Secret’. Ismay was Secretary of the Committee of Imperial Defense.

15.  The broad conclusions of this Note may be summarized as follows :-

(a) A German absorption of Czechoslovakia will enhance her military prestige, increase her war potential and probably enable her to dispose of stronger land forces against France and ourselves than she can do at present.

(b) So far as air power is concerned, Germany may be able to maintain her lead over the Franco-British Air Forces in air striking power.  On the other hand, it is open to us, provided that we make the necessary effort, to catch her up, or at least greatly reduce her lead, in the matter of defence (both active and passive) against air attack.  By so doing we shall have heavily insured ourselves against the greatest danger to which we are present exposed: indeed by substantially reducing Germany’s only chance of a rapid decision, we shall have provided a strong deterrent against her making the attempt.

(c) It follows, therefore, that, from the military point of view, time is in our favour, and that, if war with Germany has to come, it would be better to fight her in say 6-12 months’ time, than to accept the present challenge.

I honestly have no idea how much this influenced the Munich Pact, but I note that it was signed nine days after this correspondence.

That's a pretty good encapsulation of the CR and why people don't take this sub seriously. 

 

Oh, fuck, randos on the internet don’t take a bunch of posts from other randos on the internet seriously? I didn’t realize we had been tasked with serious bizness. It’s all BS and you continue to be one of the most prolific contributors.

Actually your first post above is why. Insulting other posters while not actually engaging in discussions seems to be a thing for you.

You insult your own intelligence by turning the term "the ukraine conflict" into "the ukraine" and then crafting a total straw man around it.  I called the straw man stupid, but that was apparently too generous.

Guess I should have had that second cup of coffee. Never mind.

Sydney gets it.

Trump could implement tariffs that plainly and directly bankrupt 50% of Americans, and this will be the messaging:

I love this though.  "Can you believe Obama is STILL fucking you guys?"  Just dumbfounded silence...

This is great.  His people will suffer more and you all can cry about whatever they blame...but don't lose the key point.  They're still suffering.  That's a win in my book.  Fuck 'em.

Well, actually... If you think about, Trump being President is Obama's fault, so...

Thanks, Obama.

Federal employee who voted for Trump:

I’ve met so many government employees that claim to have given up big time “private sector money” to “serve.”  Most of them couldn’t handle the pressure of working at a place that has to make a profit and doesn’t offer a cushy ass retirement after 20 years or so.
