In reply to the discussion: Bacon calls Trump 'the new Chamberlain' over Russia policy [View all]paleotn
(21,351 posts)7. He really delayed nothing. But to your point, at least he wasn't a foreign operative like Krasnov.
Chamberlain saw the horror of WW1 and did what he felt was right to avoid a repeat. Unfortunately for Europe he was short sighted and disconnected from reality. But he wasn't the only one. Just the most infamous.
On Trump, absolutely. But it might not just be the kompromat. I think Trump wants and needs to be an Amurkin Putin. He'd still do it if the Russians didn't have a damn thing on him.

Blitzkreig depends on air and ground forces. You're aware that Great Britain is an island, right?
