Not every deal. Just the ones that look like appeasement and Munich 1938. If the deal is giving an expansionist dictator territory in a neighboring country that he has threatened/ invaded in the hopes that he does not invade other countries and take more territory, than the appeasement situation applies. This is exactly the situation we face with Putin and Ukraine.

Vienna and Berlin do not apply here since there is no imbalance of power. Precisely the opposite, there is contested struggle for power, which is why there is open war. Peace can only be secured by one side dominating the other until they submit. Otherwise, you will just have more war or a frozen conflict from which war will spring up again.

What guarantees has Mr. Putin given you Prime Minister, to secure peace in our time? Are you going to waive a piece a paper in the air or claim that he has given you, his word?
