The Biden administration is reportedly seeking a peace deal in Ukraine that gives Russia control over certain territories, despite warnings from allies and critics that this would be appeasement

As we enter negotiations to end Russia's war against Ukraine, we must understand our adversaries’ and our own objectives and strengths and weaknesses.

Donald Trump wants to be like Winston Churchill. But is he really like Neville Chamberlain, appeasing Vladimir Putin as Chamberlain appeased Adolf Hitler in the 1930s? Today – defence expert Peter Jennings analyses a fiery Oval Office clash between JD Vance, Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky.

Critics hastily draw parallels between President Donald Trump's recent diplomatic overtures to Russia and Neville Chamberlain's infamous appeasement of Nazi Germany. However, such comparisons overlook the strategic nuances and assertive underpinnings of Trump's approach,

Chamberlain, the Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1937 to 1940, signed the Munich Agreement in 1938 allowing Nazi Germany to annex Czechoslovakia, which he predicted would guarantee “ peace for our time ” but which history has recalled as a failed attempt to appease German Fuhrer Adolf Hitler before the start of World War II.

As Trump plans mutual visits with Putin and his VP lectures Europe about its far-right, America has reversed its 80-year policy of confronting Russian aggression.

President Donald Trump reacted to Russia's assault on Feb. 24, 2022 by declaring, "This is genius" and "pretty savvy."

Interestingly, as Townley points out, Russia has taken control of about 20% of Ukraine’s mineral deposits under the territory it now controls (which America would be open to exploiting according to an offer made by Vladimir Putin’s aides at the recent talks in Saudi Arabia).

Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski of Poland said that Ukraine is too strong to be sold out by foreign powers. "The best guarantee for Ukraine is the almost million-man army, which is manning the foxholes and heroically resisting Russian aggression," he said on CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS" in an interview that aired Sunday.
