@jsecure@skyhaven.social indeed, we are letting it happen, also the risk of miscalculation by Russia, overestimating what Europe will tolerate, then we could have a full war with Russia... All because we didn't act earlier

@ErikJonker@mastodon.social We did the same thing with Hitler. They say... he might not have invaded Poland if we hadn't previously allowed him to take lands he shouldn't have. Because Chamberlain backed down and appeased him, they say, he figured we would do the same on Poland. So, we actually might have prevented WW2 by having a bit more backbone from the start. That's why they say, appeasement never works. We have to learn from history. Would Hitler have stayed out of Poland if we had taken a tougher line? Anyone's guess; that's not the way it happened but it's a compelling argument...
