Obama's Chamberlain Moment

There are undeniable parallels between events in Sudetenland immediately prior to World War II, and the evident absorption of Crimea into Russia. Both the Germans in 1938 and Russia now had historic claims to the territory they coveted, and it seems in both incidences, world powers appeased a budding tyrant. The error of giving in to Hitler soon became apparent to the dismay of the world, but we must hope that Putin has no grander territorial designs than those he just exercised. At a time strength was called for, Barack Hussein Obama displayed weakness. Only time will tell how much the rekindled appeasement mentality of the leaders of the free nations will haunt tomorrow.
