** 30-Jul-2019 World View: Neville Chamberlain
This gets to the heart of the question that has bothered people
my age for decades: How was Hitler able to so completely fool
Britain and Neville Chamberlain?
Neville Chamberlain is barely remembered today, but one thing I
remember from when I was in school growing up is that Neville
Chamberlain was really vilified, and portrayed as a dumb person, and
almost an evil person, for allowing himself to be so completely taken
in by Hitler's promises of "peace in our time."
This could serve as a lesson to some of today's politicians who claim
that the source of all evil in the world is the United States of
America, and if we're nice to China, then there's no need for China to
go for war, since it's bad for business anyway.
These people may find it gratifying to close their eyes to what's
going on in the world, but they should consider the fact that they may
be viewed as evil idiots by their children and grandchildren.
People on the left believe that war with China can be avoided just by
being nice to China. People on the right believe that war with China
can be avoided by strengthening the military. It's 100% certain that
China is going to launch a war, no matter what we do. Both the left
and right are delusional, though they have different delusions.
