The article draws parallels between the historical Munich Agreement with Hitler and current U.S. foreign policy towards Putin regarding Ukraine. It argues that appeasement, as seen in Trump's offers to Putin which lacked any demands, reflects a dangerous strategy reminiscent of 1938. Hitler's initial satisfaction with peace offers eventually led to greater aggression, and similar outcomes are anticipated in the context of Ukraine, where Putin's demands aim solely at territorial and cultural dominance, rejecting the notion of true peace or Ukrainian sovereignty.
Trump's negotiators have offered Putin almost everything he has publicly asked for without demanding anything in return, mirroring the Munich Agreement's appeasement of Hitler.
Putin's goal, as it has been from the beginning, is the incorporation of Ukraine into Russia and the complete erasure of the Ukrainian nation, language, and culture.
