Having led America into disaster in Afghanistan, President Biden takes to the television cameras to blame others for the disaster, and pretend that what he has done is somehow a victory.
Not since British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain returned from his infamous 1938 meeting in Munich with Nazi dictator Adolph Hitler proclaiming he had achieved “peace for our time” has such a foolish – not to mention dangerous – “agreement” been struck.
Recall that Chamberlain had agreed to sign on to the German annexation of the Sudetenland, the Czechoslovakian home to some three million ethnic Germans. This would, he believed firmly, avert war. A piece of paper was produced that proclaimed Germany and Britain would work through their differences by consultation rather than military force. Hitler signed his name to the paper, as did Chamberlain.
Buckle in. There are dangerous times ahead. Very dangerous.
Returning home in triumph, confident he had averted war, Chamberlain emerged from his plane on September 30, 1938, and held aloft the fluttering paper for cameras. Then he departed for 10 Downing Street, the residence of British prime ministers. Standing in front of his residence, Chamberlain read the text of the agreement to cameras. It read:
“We, the German Führer and Chancellor, and the British Prime Minister have had a further meeting today and are agreed in recognizing that the question of Anglo-German relations is of the first importance for our two countries and for Europe.
We regard the agreement signed last night and the Anglo-German Naval Agreement as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with one another again. We are resolved that the method of consultation shall be the method adopted to deal with any other questions that may concern our two countries, and we are determined to continue our efforts to remove possible sources of difference, and thus to contribute to assure the peace of Europe.”
With that, Chamberlain concluded by saying this:
“My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honor.
I believe it is peace for our time…
Go home and get a nice quiet sleep.”
Less than one year later, on September 1, 1939, Adolph Hitler invaded Poland. World War II had begun.
Listen now to the Chamberlain-style remarks of President Joe Biden in the wake of the disaster that was the Biden-run exodus of Americans from Afghanistan. They were made from the White House on Sunday, August 31.
“THE PRESIDENT: Last night in Kabul, the United States ended 20 years of war in Afghanistan — the longest war in American history.
We completed one of the biggest airlifts in history, with more than 120,000 people evacuated to safety. That number is more than double what most experts thought were possible. No nation — no nation has ever done anything like it in all of history. Only the United States had the capacity and the will and the ability to do it, and we did it today.
The extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravery, and selfless courage of the United States military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals.
….As we close 20 years of war and strife and pain and sacrifice, it’s time to look to the future, not the past — to a future that’s safer, to a future that’s more secure, to a future that honors those who served and all those who gave what President Lincoln called their “last full measure of devotion.”
I give you my word: With all of my heart, I believe this is the right decision, a wise decision, and the best decision for America.
Thank you. Thank you. And may God bless you all. And may God protect our troops.”
In other words, just as Chamberlain returned from Munich trumpeting “peace for our time”, Biden is trumpeting the “extraordinary success of this mission.”
Chamberlain’s meeting with Hitler decidedly did not bring “peace for our time.” And Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan most assuredly was not an “extraordinary success.”
In fact, what Chamberlain and Biden were and are about is exactly the same thing: appeasing a ruthless enemy that has no intention of abiding by agreements and every intention of furthering their own global ambitions of world domination.
One would think a real President of the United States would understand this.
Sad to say, not so.
Buckle in. There are dangerous times ahead. Very dangerous.
