Is This a Re-run?

In 1938 another European dictator proclaimed that Germans living in the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia needed "protecting" from the nasty Czechs and sent in the Wehrmacht to help them. The major European powers, acting in full jellyfish mode, acceded to Hitler's demands and away went the Czech part of Czechoslovakia. Sound familiar? It should.

Putin, apparently believing that no one in the West had seen the movie, pulled out the tried-and-true script again in the Ukraine. I can hardly wait to see which Western power capitulates first. Oh yes, a year later, Hitler invaded Poland and the world was plunged into WWII. When does that part of the movie start.
