re: #365 A.W.

For fucks sake, this is my last response and then I’m going to put the keyboard down because you just can’t seem to understand what I’m saying. And again, the only analogy you seem to be able to draw is that of WWII. But I’ll entertain you.

So again, Chamberlain was acting in the self-interest of Britain when he let hitler grow the threat until his nation was bombed to shit? Ooooh-kay.

Chamberlain was acting in what he believed to be in the self-interest of Great Britain at the time. He made his decisions in a world that had just seen continental Europe ravaged by war and millions of young men killed by mustard gas and machine gun fire. It’s real easy to armchair quarterback Chamberlain from 2009, but back then it wasn’t so easy. Having seen the horror of modern warfare truly unleashed for the first time, nobody was ready for another World War.
