You can't write satire this subtle on Lemmy. People in the comments think you are actually defending Chamberlain.

Chamberlain wanted peace above all. He was facing a political crisis at home and a still recovering economy from WW1.

The peace deal with the Nazi wasn't spineless it was a lesson in what not to do when faced with fascism, something that perhaps needs to be relearned the hard way in modern times.

It's documented that ultimately he felt like he had failed the country, indeed he never recovered politically.

This is particularly funny considering your apologia for Russian imperialism in Ukraine.

Of course, I'm sure had you been around at the time, you would have opposed Chamberlain then, as well - after all, the Soviets and the Nazis had a common enemy in the 'Western degenerates'. The Soviets couldn't well genocide Poland by themselves - though they certainly put in plenty of effort!

Whenever anyone says Chamberlan "gave up" Czechoslovakia I ask one simple question: What was he supposed to do? He could have declared war, like the lion Churchill did for Poland. But I'll remind you that the only thing England sent to Poland was thoughts and prayers. Followed by over a year of "phony" war.

Look at a map. You'll notice that Czechoslovakia is quite far from England. With fucking Germany in between!

The whole Chamberlan meme is just right-wing propaganda to delegitimize diplomacy. It only makes sense if you don't think about it.

I will always come to the defence of Chamberlain from pop-history types.

He actually saved the UK by massively rearming the country in the lead up to the war, especially so the RAF. If it wasn't for his actions we would have likely lost the battle for Britain.

Also fun fact: at the time he was actually considered a war hawk by much of parliament and was pressured into being softer on Hitler than he wanted to.

No, Chamberlain was spineless, against the Royal Family.

Czechia gave him a plan to crush the Nazis at the first stop, they baulked, since the prince loved Nazis.
