What? Just because the West screwed you in the past with nuclear weapons security guarantees doesn’t mean they’ll do it again. Does it?

> Instituted in the hope of avoiding war, **appeasement** was the name given to Britain’s policy in the 1930s of allowing Hitler to expand German territory unchecked. Most closely associated with British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, it is now widely discredited as a policy of weakness.

What’s the other option?
It doesn’t seem like Ukraine isn’t really capable of retaking all their land

“Western Guarantees.” Ukraine has been there, done that. Was no guarantee. Especially the way Biden cripples weapons.

Zelenskyy seems committed to fighting this out to the last Ukrainian. It is a terrible shame for the Ukrainian people. They cannot win an attritional war, and he knows it. Whatever deal they will have to agree upon—and they will have to—it is going to be progressively worse the more he drags this out and loses what little negotiating power Ukraine has left.
