And the “Putin must have video of Trump…” line is pure speculation, not evidence.1. Neville Chamberlain’s defining trait was appeasement appeasing Hitler —specifically, giving him territorial concessions (Sudetenland) in hopes of avoiding war.Giving dictators what they want in the hope they stop being aggressive. 2. Trump’s actions toward Russia do not resemble appeasement During Trump’s term: The U.S. armed Ukraine with Javelin missiles (Obama refused to). The U.S. placed multiple rounds of sanctions on Russia . The U.S. expanded NATO spending and pressured allies to increase defense budgets. The U.S. killed hundreds of Russian Wagner mercenaries in Syria. Nord Stream 2 faced increased U.S. pressure and sanctions . policy and rhetoric are not the same .3. The “Putin has kompromat” claim has zero evidence leaked evidence, intelligence confirmation, witness testimony, documents, recordings, or credible reporting 4. Why Trump often talks positively about Putin Trump admires strength , even in adversaries. He uses flattery as negotiation strategy . He wanted better U.S.–Russia relations to counterbalance China. He often speaks off the cuff , not strategically. He differentiates between “leaders I get along with” vs. “leaders I agree with.” 5. The Chamberlain comparison is a partisan talking point, not a real historical analogy really wants a modern Chamberlain comparison, it would more accurately apply to: leaders who delay action on aggressors, leaders who refuse to arm allies, leaders who downplay threats, leaders who pursue negotiations despite invasions.
