In September 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain traveled to Munich to meet Adolf Hitler. There, Chamberlain, and ministers from other Western nations, signed the Munich Pact, handing over the Sudetenland, a part of Czechoslovakia, to Germany. Czechoslovakia was not even invited to the talks. The Munich Pact was England's and France's attempt to appease Hitler. With his superb wit and usage of the English language, Winston Churchill famously told Chamberlain upon his return to England, "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will get war anyway."
America and its allies handing over Afghanistan to the Taliban during the first two weeks of August is the West's worst foreign policy disaster since Munich. And by West, we mean America. And by America, we mean President Joe Biden.
