Good morning Blogmocracy Netizens! I hope your day is starting off great!
Victor David Hanson has an amazing historical analysis explaining the cycle of appeasement and confronting our enemies. As we speak, we have an appeasement based regime in Washington. President Hussein Obama basically surrendered to our Islamic enemies in his Cairo speech. Since then the Arabist controlled Iranian regime brutally put down a Persian patriotic uprising. Security in Iraq has deteriorated, Pakistan is a mess and the Taliban is on the offensive. Islamic movements in America and Europe continue to openly operate and call for Sharia law. Venezuela has threatened and is surrounding Colombia. Our enemies smell weakness and are preparing to take advantage.
By 1930 Verdun had been transmogrified almost into a dirty word in French schools. Throughout the late 1920s, the First World War was increasingly reinterpreted in the West as a futile bloodletting. International “Merchants of Death” and greedy capitalists, not the Kaiser’s aggressive Prussian militarism, were now seen as the true causes of that recent horrific war. A punitive Versailles Treaty — and not the failure to invade, occupy, democratize, monitor, and transform a defeated Germany — was seen as the real mistake on the part of the victors.
Britain and France all but disarmed. The Maginot defensive line, England’s island status, the new and welcomed art of appeasement (originally, lest we forget, a suitably liberal and humane idea), growing socialist movements, the League of Nations, and a new pacifism were all seen as substitutes for Neanderthal notions like deterrence and military preparedness. Perpetual peace was supposed to follow — and not another war with Germany a mere 20 years after the last one. Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, and the rest begged to differ.
Read the rest.
History is repeating itself, but this time it’s more dangerous. The Progressive Movement, which has a Crypto-Dictatorship in America, is openly supporting the Islamo-Fascist and Internationalist Socialists movement. This is not appeasement in my opinion, this is collaboration. The Regime of Hussein Obama and his Progressive cohorts, are openly aiding our enemies. They are traitors and I have no problem calling them out on it.
