A clear demonstration of the Power of the Word is ‘appeasement’. When is it and when is it not appeasement? It’s like the politicization of the term ‘hate’. When Jews hate you, it’s not hate. But be mildly critical of Jews, and you’re a ‘hater’. And what is meant by ‘extreme’? These days, a man with a chunky pair of balls who claims to be a woman is a ‘woman’. That is the New Normal. But a conservative(or even a lesbian/feminist of the TERF variety) who disagrees could be branded as ‘extreme’.
Once, you had to be Nazi-like to be ‘extreme’ or ‘far-right’ on the ideological spectrum. But now, the mere desire of Hungarians to preserve their ethnic and cultural integrity is condemned as such. But then, when Jews zealously guard their own identity, heritage, and territory in Israel, it’s something all of us must honor, support, and celebrate. If you criticize Zionist excesses or defend justice for Palestinians, you’re smeared like Jeremy Corbyn or Roger Waters, recently dumped by a former bandmate. You are either guilty of antisemitism or harboring it in your camp.
Back to ‘appeasement’. It’s become a famous, indeed infamous, term in association with the supposed weaklings who caved to Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich at Munich. Say the word ‘appeasement’, and Neville Chamberlain comes to mind. A poison term, it’s often used to smear those seeking constructive dialogue with Iran — apparently, whatever Jews hate is the ‘new hitler’. Neocon Jews and their cuck-puppets never tire of denouncing their critics and opponents as the ideological heirs of those naive fools or craven cowards who negotiated with Hitler. So, the mere acknowledgement of Iran’s legitimate interests is tantamount to repeating the mistakes of 1939 and paving the way for World War III and maybe another Holocaust, despite the irony that Jewish Supremacism is currently the biggest warmonger, as well as the biggest mass-murderer, in the world. Just ask the peoples of Palestine, Syria, Iraq, and the Donbass.
‘Appeasement’, like ‘phobia’, is not a neutral or objective term. It is judgmental and denunciatory. It implies the person calling for dialogue and compromise is either a sucker, traitor, or wimp. Someone labeled as ‘phobic’ is either accused to be or ‘diagnosed’ as irrational and pathological in his fears or dislikes. So, if someone is opposed to non-stop immigration(like White Nakba for example) that could forever transform the demographic and cultural character of his homeland, he isn’t a patriot with healthy anxieties but a bigot with sickness in his head(and soul): Yes, a ‘xenophobe’.
Likewise, ‘appeasement’ isn’t merely a call for negotiation but selling out to the devil. Of course, appeasement is relative depending on the perspective. German critics could have felt that Hitler appeased the British and the French by promising not to press further for German territories lost after World War I in exchange for Chamberlain’s acceptance of fait accompli in the Czech Territory.
Because the term ‘appeasement’ is judgmental, historians need to tread carefully in its usage. It is more often a form of editorializing than understanding. The term is innately problematic as a moral definition. After all, if ‘to appease’ means, “To placate or attempt to placate (a threatening nation, for example) by granting concessions, often at the expense of principle”, then it is an all-too-common fact of life than something out of the blue. Power differentials are a reality everywhere. Some people are richer, more influential, or more powerful. So, it’s often the case that the weaker party makes concessions to the stronger party. However, most such interactions or transactions are not called ‘appeasement’. So, even appeasement isn’t ‘appeasement’ if normalized within the order.
What is the most powerful group in the US? It’s the Jews, and so much of US politics, economics, and social policy is about non-Jews sucking up to Jews. Politicians cater to the interests and whims of Wall Street and the Donor Class, both heavily Jewish. Anyone who wants to work in Hollywood has to suck up to Zionists. Mutter something about BDS or the dark side of Jewish Power, and out the door you go.
Notice how US politicians of European backgrounds never make pilgrimages to their own ancestral homelands. Rather, they go to Israel, don a yarmulke, face the Wailing Wall, and mutter something along the lines of “Oh Great Jew, let me kiss thy arse.” They all suck up to Jews by invoking the Shoah while ignoring the other horrors of the 20th century(or any century), that is unless the narrative coincides with Jewish interests, e.g. “Muh Kurds!” US politicians shill for Israel and spew hatred against Iran. They bow down to AIPAC as willing lackeys for More Wars for Israel.
All such behaviors certainly qualify as appeasement but are never called such. But then, the system is controlled by Jews. Apparently, appeasing Jews is not appeasement but the obvious good and sacred duty, like a Catholic kneeling before the Cross. In the current order, nothing is more ‘patriotic’ and ‘American as apple pie’ than appeasing Jews on the Ukraine project. If anything, those who oppose the war are accused of ‘appeasement’ even though they don’t receive a dime from Putin(while the cuck-maggots who lionize Zelensky are showered with favors and fortune).
Appeasing Jewish Power is so second-nature in US politics that hardly anyone even notices it for what it is. Successive generations of Americans have become accustomed to appeasement to Jews as just a way of doing business, something never to be questioned, even a matter of faith and sacrament.
After the 2020 election, one might think the bulk of American Conservatives would finally wake up and call foul on Jewish Power. Trump surely appeased Zion a thousand times over but got rammed in the arse just the same. In other words, it was a case of ‘with Jews, you lose’. But all we got from The Donald and his cuck-MAGA crew is more appeasement to Zionist saber-rattling at Iran and hysterics about ‘China, China, China’. Never mind China too has been in the business of appeasing the Jews as the go-to ruling elites of the US. (And even now, Russia refuses to name the Jewish Power behind the Ukraine fiasco and instead pontificates about ‘de-Nazification’, as if it’s World War II Redux than a possible road to World War III where Jews are the New-Nazis.)
Cuck Steve Bannon bitches about Iran’s threat to Israel when Israel supports terrorism against Syria and when Jewish Power engineered the political demise of Trump. This is what’s wrong with cuckservatism. Jews do most to undermine Americanism, but the message is always ‘muh israel’. Btw, Biden has ramped up hostility against China(more than Trump), and his administration is over 75% Jewish-Zionist.
‘Appeasement’, like ‘hate’, is always something done by the Other. For example, when Jews hate(Russia, White Christians, Syrians, Arabs, Palestinians, Hungarians, etc.), no matter how virulently, it ain’t hate. While it’s been repeated ad nauseam that Neville Chamberlain appeased Hitler, it’s hardly mentioned that Winston Churchill(and FDR) appeased Joseph Stalin by conceding all of Eastern Europe to the Soviets. Richard Nixon was much lauded for negotiating with Mao Zedong. It wasn’t called ‘appeasement’. But the merest hint of Trump wanting to discuss matters with Putin was condemned as ‘appeasement’ of ‘Putler’.
But then, GOP cucks shrieked about Obama’s deal with Iran as ‘appeasement’, once again invoking World War II, even though Obama did it at the behest of J-Street Jews seeking to ease Iran out of the Russia-China orbit. GOP cucks even misled the public by accusing Obama of funneling billions of US taxpayer dollars to Iran when, in fact, the money was part of Iran’s frozen assets in the US. What a clown-show. Obama appeases J-Street Jews by cutting a deal with Iran, and the GOP appeases AIPAC Jews by shrieking about Obama-the-appeaser.
In the West, there are two kinds of appeasement. There are those who appease Jews in the most pathetic manner. John McCain was champion, but plenty of GOP and Democratic politicians qualify as top contenders. (Lindsey Graham is probably the current cuck-champ.) They know all the dog-and-pony show tricks. Such a tact might be called ‘positive appeasement’, or positively shameless in cucking.
But, there’s another kind, what might be called ‘negative appeasement’. Take Rand Paul. While he often displeases the Zionists by refusing to back every War for Israel, he won’t call out on Jewish Power. He turns every policy issue into an abstract discussion of principles and the Constitution. But current events simply cannot be understood apart from the JQ, especially in relation to the tribal hypocrisy of preaching ‘equity’ and ‘social justice’, all the while pushing for policies that only increase the position of Jews and Israel.
In a fair world, either nothing or anything fitting the description should be called ‘appeasement’. So, if what Chamberlain did was appeasement, so was Churchill’s deal with Stalin. And all the weaker players in the US empire should be called appeasers to Uncle Sam(or Shem). What does Europe do but constantly appease the US that is controlled by Jews? Even after the Jewish-controlled US went full gangster-terrorist and blew up the Nord Stream pipelines, all we get from Germans(and others) is crickets. And these people have the gall to invoke the memory of Munich and Neville Chamberlain as moral lessons.
Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are also appeasers to the US empire. Latin America is full of appeasers to the Yanquis, now the Yanqueers. And US politicians are mostly craven appeasers groveling before Jewish Master Racists. But, the term is used selectively to demean ONLY THOSE who concede in a manner disapproved of by Jewish-controlled US empire that shapes the narrative and discourse via its lock on academia and media and deep state.
Appeasing Jewish Power means one must also appease whatever is favored by Jews. So, if Jews hype BLM, one must appease black thuggery as the ‘new sainthood’. Even though blacks are the most violent criminal class in the US, one must pretend otherwise and sing hosannas to magic blackness.
And of course, there’s Globo-Homo. Jewish Power favors the holy homos, and so, we mustn’t upset the homos lest we displease Jews with the wherewithal to crush us. Jews are the ‘Made Men’ of US power, meaning the only truly functional ‘law’ of the land is ‘Whatever Jews Want, We Must Give’. Appease globo-homo. Cuck like Trump and Kari Lake at Mar-a-Lago to ‘gay marriage’. Sodomy is the new god, or godomy. Jews demand it, so obey, appease. If a tranny says he’s a woman, use ‘proper pronouns’ where he is a ‘she’ or even a ‘they’. Surely, powerful Jews are cracking up behind closed doors at the sheer stupidity and/or cowardice of goyim.
We now have an odd situation where one must appease the Jews in order not to be branded an ‘appeaser’. Likewise, one must hate whatever Jews hate in order not to be called a ‘hater’. And it’s not enough that most people bend over backwards to appease Jews. Even the slightest whimper suggesting that the US should strive for better terms with Russia or some other nation loathed by Jews is lambasted as ‘appeasement’. Jewish Power is like a jealous god that says “Our Way or the Highway”. It’s not enough to appease the Jews. One must appease ONLY the Jews.
There are no two sides, only the Jewish side. If you talk to the ‘wrong’ people abroad, you’re an ‘appeaser’, and if you talk to the ‘wrong’ people in the US, you’re a ‘hater’. You may only talk to Jews and those approved by Jews. Actually, don’t talk and just listen, as the ‘conversation’ means Jews, homos, and blacks talk and you listen(and agree).
Just like the US dollar is the world currency, Jewish Outrage of Tri-Supremacism(centered on Jews, Negroes, and Homos) circulates as the world moral currency. The only way to earn ‘woke’ currency is by appeasing the supremacism of Jews, megalomania of Negroes, and vanity of homos. Thus, every European nation has a Holocaust Museum, and homo prides are everywhere to proselytize that “Our people have accepted gayspel as the new gospel.” Or even nations without blacks or black problems make a fuss about BLM to show they are with the program. But, don’t call any of this ‘appeasement’.
Western elites are now worse than ever because the dynamics of elite selection favors the supremacists among the Jews but only saps and flunkies among whites. A Jew who is conscientious and critical of Jewish Power is also disqualified. Just ask Norman Finkelstein who couldn’t even secure a gig at second-tier college DePaul. A Jew HAS to be supremacist to make it to the top. As for whites, anyone exhibiting independence of thought or anything resembling courage/integrity is weeded out. His academic prospect could be over even before it begins if, for example, he posted something on Twitter or Facebook that could be displeasing to Jews, homos, and/or blacks.
The end-result is that white social elevation is restricted to saphead cucks who go along to get along. They may still be smart and capable, but they are born appeasers and toadies than people of integrity and independence. In other words, the likes of Mitt Romney, John McCain, Ben Sasse, Brian Kemp, Paul Ryan, and etc.
It’s like the Asian-ization of the West. In the East, exams are seen as an end than a means to an end. Exams aren’t so much a measure of future success as success itself. So, Asians eschew independence of thought and merely study whatever is approved to pass exams as validation of success.
In the quasi-Confucian Neo-West, whites must pass the PC exam of approved-thought than demonstrate aptitude for thought itself. Never mind the danger of harboring a ‘thought-crime’; thinking itself might as well be a crime, now extending even to the cucked A.I. that spews out whatever Jews program it to. Millennials were weaned on approval-of-thought than independence-of-thought. The result is a system with sniveling Jewish supremacist masters lording over groveling white goy cuck-maggots. But, we’re assured that white cuckery isn’t appeasement because nothing is more natural than worshiping, obeying, and flattering the neuroticism of Jewish Megalomania.

That’s a product of meritocracy. Long past in most western places.
Good article in general, Priss, only two other points.
’jewish, black, and homosexual narcissism’.
Also, the huge Jewish Menorah centre in Dnipr.
You are correct about poor Neville Chamberlain; he was certainly tarred and feathered by the British war hawks (Winston and company). But what was Neville to do? Answer: Nothing.
Chamberlain’s fatal error was going to Germany to discuss the future of the Czech territory, with the absence of Czech leadership at the meeting. He had no business whatsoever doing that.
asians and africans will no longer trying to appease the whiteys. led by the jews, they have been preparing themselves to confront the whiteys and force the whiteys to pay their debts to the asians and africans in the last 400 years. it will be the whiteys who try to appease them in a fear of unstopable gradual extinction.
jews are their hope, while whiteys are their regret.
He was one of the not so many American political scientists who had an important work. In spite of that he was fired. He said years ago in an interview that he became unemployable. He couldn’t find a job as a bus driver after he was fired from the university.
The problem with the question of appeasement is that it is only used against countries which are previously declared as an enemy. So it’s easy to demonise countries and talk about appeasement in relation to those countries.
The moment you go from declaring a country as an enemy to talking about appeasement in relation to this country, you cannot question anymore the way you see this country as an enemy and you cannot question anymore the use of the term “appeasement”. Why? Because they support each other. You cannot question the characterization of the country as an enemy because this would make you someone who wants to appease this country (appeasement is always bad). And you cannot want to appease this country (speak with them, negotiate) because they are bad and an enemy. It’s difficult to escape from this vicious circle. I used to say that only appeasement garantees peace but the result was that I was banned from posting in the forum from Spiegel online.
Concerning groups of people which have power, I would rather talk of “subservience”, “cowardice”, “corruption”, or of the “ridiculous adoration and worship of them”. You cannot talk of appeasement in relation to those groups if people don’t consider them as a group that demands subservience and on the contrary think that they are a rather nice people.
According to Benjamin Freedman, it was the Jewish bankers at Versailles who dictated the terms of the Treaty that partitioned Germany and Austro-Hungary. Did they have leaders that actually represented the populations of those territories present?
Chamberlain was no peacenik. It was he who green lighted the development of the long range Lancaster bomber in 1937, perhaps to bomb Lisbon or Reykjavik. He was buying time at Munich.
JF, I greatly appreciate that this column was of reasonable length. Brevity is the soul of wit!
Israel will nuke Arab unless immediate supply of ammunitions and planes were started .That was 1973 .Nixon agreed and Evangelicals felt reborn . That was appeasement .
Israel would delay this illegal announcement and that illegal settlement for 12 weeks for 12 billions dollars- That is appeasement .
Bribery is worst than appeasement .
AIPAC finds and directs who would donate to whom . Donors are already told to donate only to those American candidates– to be voted by American voters who have their interest at heart — who puts Israeli needs and interest above Americans . That is treason and worst than bribery .
Donors class did not want Iran deal They’re against Iran deal– Obama told the world . Sheldon gave 40 million to Trump .Sheldon – all he wanted taht Trump would bomb Iran. That was bribery place appeasement plus treason .
Appeasement is a much abused term, with people trying to argue the wrong lessons from history. It is being used as we approach WW III. But non-appeasement won’t stop nuclear Armageddon: nuclear deterrence doctrine is supposed to do that – but isn’t. The scenario that the theory is meant to prevent is now unfolding.

Here’s my concern with accommodating or appeasing the Russians:
1. it has been the rationale provided for the invasion
2. the threat of nuclear exchange
The extremes here sound so desperate and irrational, that there is no way to avoid a slippery slope approach.
And none of this is new
but Russia’s contentions sound like a challenge to more than just Ukraine. And while I am not a huge fan of our sloppily applied broken windows approach. Because what it often lacks is any evidence that said broken window is going to set in motion a pattern. That is not the case here. And Russia has already intimated that others are not real countries. There are other countries witty neo-nazis, there are other countries with liberal sympathies. There are other countries in that region that are now definitively seeking help from the west.
There was no international dispute here. Ukraine did not even lob shells against Russia when Russia was actively shelling Ukraine. Ukraine has been accommodating Russia except in one area — when it came to the express internal affairs of Ukraine. And that restraint includes the regions in question.
Agreement to the minsk accords is a two way street. And those regions can’t violate the standards and then expect ukraine to abide by them. And then for Russia to choose a side and demand that Ukraine agree to the accords — even if signed, is certainly an unreasonable standard. It is not appeasement . . .
but how many times and to what end. When Russia entered Crimea, she was appeased with objections, but essentially she was accommodated nonetheless.
She has pattern of breaking windows and then blaming other for her conduct.
Why Pres Nixon came to Israel’s aide in 1973
https://www.algemeiner.com/2014/08/11/exclusive-how-richard-nixon-helped-save-israel-excerpt/
and I am aware of that Egypts attack was predicated on Israel’s violation by joining the French and Great Britain in attacking Egypt
The Cold War is over. The existential struggle to keep Globohomo from completely consuming Western Civilization is what we face now. The problem is, as you exemplify in your comment, most in the West can no longer recognize evil. The lethal combination of consumerism and Christianity has done its work.
J/F delivers another bold, brilliant, and no-holds-barred summary of where we are: in the midst of an astonishing Jewish supremacist takeover of the debauched modern world. Bombs away!
”

it is not over for Russia and it never really was.
Yes the problem lies with the elites of Western European descend. It was a bad deal to entitle the Jew as an intermediate [the exacting meaning of a proxy], to usurp the man-meat in their realms. The Jew holds them by the balls, for cents on the dollar, no return possible. This generation of public domain figurines is waste-binned into sucker status, alas Biden, alas Scholtz, alas van der Leyen, Bart de Wever, cucks as Macron and the Dutch piss up the wind Mark Rutte, the list includes “et al.”.
There is no way out of this, Russia and China have only recently decided to no longer suck up to the parasitical scheme of the Jew. It can be argued that China played it prudently, smartly, but results only can tell, way to early. It remains to be seen if they can imagine a world without financialization, militarization, moral corruption, chemical inducement, industrial sickening food, poisoning medicine, hubris in media, my doubts are firm. If one was you, you’d be a Jew.
There is no eco-system viable within this realm.
Sharp comparisons, the first couple of sentences, they make or use words to suit them, then change meaning or twist meaning or application backwards to suit them, or, to push people too far, the same time floating false sense of afford.
On last point, meaning, was also thinking of the word ‘tolerance’. Notice not hearing so much of that after they pounded it two decades, to degrade everyone and everything to get to this point, notice now hardly hear it, except directed to younger people, to continue oppression or self-oppression, by not seeing tolerance as a scheme. Way too much tolerance of the wrong things, many wrong things.
This is one those articles think others should pick out eight or ten sentences on appeasement, copy paste sentences to look at. There is quite a bit to absorb in the article which is informative, and though think to get the most out of, should save off some examples, to review how much the cons twist back and forth, as people bow.
Last note, seems in first photo hitler is doing freemason handshake, or maybe am mistaken.
Appreciate the article JF.

I believe he wanted to avoid war, but the Jews owned a significant part of the British media and they were pro-war. He also had to contend with a deceitful Churchill who was bankrolled by wealthy Jews to write articles attacking Germany and pushing for war. I think it may have been like it is in the USA today, where pro-war idiots have the substantially pro-war media behind them and anyone that does not want war is a “Russian asset”. They invented the insult “appeaser” for Chamberlain, never mind that Hitler was a far bigger appeaser. That’s what you do in negotiations, but the Jews didn’t want negotiations. They wanted war and they got it, but they deny their role in starting the war because they would not be perceived as the biggest victims of the war if their big role in starting the war came out.
I also think the same thing probably will happen to the US that happened to Britain. Churchill and wealthy Jews got them into the war and bankrupted the country. I believe the US already has serious financial and societal problems and the US will lose its position as the global leader. If NATO broke up and-or Germany were to leave NATO and join Russia and China, I think America’s days as the world’s bully would be over. I think that would make the world a better place.
Not going to happen.
If after nearly 80 years nobody’s “pushed the magic button” yet, their either is no button or they’re so afraid of that they’ll put up with anything.
Look at the average Western nation getting pummeled and buried in “migrants”. Wouldn’t they really rather push a button and end it all? Because I know some who’d love to do just that. If it’s not happening maybe it’s because it can’t.
This is a keen insight, and explains much.
Thanks for the essay, PF! It’s the only time I actually found myself wishing one of your editorials were longer.
This is all very good — but for a really good time, try the “I” word.
That’s right: “Isolationist”. In the run-up to WWII, there were two zones in N. America that earned and still keeps the undying hatred of the Chosen. To this very day.
1. The industrial Midwest — in the US, literally the land between the Ohio and Missouri till it sharpens and becomes the Mississippi. This was Colonel McCormick country, and his Chicago-based news company kept the biggest anti-war movement of the 20th century up and running. He was so dispised by the East Coast interventionists it is believed a hit team was tasked with taking him out, or at least a fair number of his lieutenants. Father Coughlin stamping ground was here, and of course Charles Lindbergh’s famous “Des Moines” speech was right in the neighborhood and sponsored by the Chicago press.
2. Quebec — Played footsie with Vichy France maybe, but there are reasons to assume they were just drubbed because they were not as keen on war as the English Canadians were. Hey, they wanted a bit more time to consider their options.
Anyway they have been hated by the Elites, their Jewish handlers, etc, ever since. Is it an accident JFK was supposed to be shot in CHICAGO in 1963 — but somebody blew the whistle and Dallas got the booby prize. How they’d have loved to see Nazi Chicago take the hit for Jack. And de-industrialization started in this region first — long before NAFTA, China and all that. The punishment was specific and deadly. The fentanyl epidemic — aimed right at the center of isolationist territory. The derails. The food processing plants. It’s all there, the third world war against the people who patriotically tried to stay out of the SECOND western suicide attempt.
Check it out. There’s a big story there. Just waiting.
This was a case of a classic appeasement . Israel made threats of dropping nukes unless US started massive and immediate resupplies of offensive and deadly weapons and provided fighter jets.
You mean US oushing a nuclear button on its and around it soujthern border? You mean France pressing the nuclear button in India , Pakistan, Albania, Serbia and Rwanda?
Personally, I welcome the next chapter in this humanity-threatening saga of world domination.
As it is, half the world worships Satan, and we are in that half, so with that being in the “victory for us” column, who wants it?
Russia can have the Ukraine, China can have Taiwan, and Iran can nuke the shit out of Israel for all I care. I don’t really care about South Korea, either, so have at it North Korea!
I also don’t care about famines, civil wars, and genocides in Africa. The Muslim’s subjugation of women in Afghanistan is none of my business, I don’t care about the Kurds, the Shi’ites, the Sunnis, or any other “peoples” in the Middle East.
If India wants a caste system, then God bless ’em. Corruption in Latin America? So what?
All I care about is the country where I live, and how to prevent it from going further down the shitter; and that seems all but impossible to stop. But, perhaps, if the unipolar world can get tied to a tree and shot in the face, and the petro-dollar can go the way of the British Empire, and the EU/UN/NATO can all fall apart, even predicated on a Russian-Chinese-Iranian “victory”, then so be it.
One thing is for certain- what we are doing right now in the US isn’t working, and the citizenry appear powerless to stop it, so if we must “lose to win”, then I welcome it.
And if that means that we nuke this whole goddamned planet, killing 90% of life on earth, and the rest have to start over at the stone age, then good! It’s better than being part of a Satan worshipping, globo-homo, jewish, negro idolizing “melting pot” of queers, amero-indians, and pedophiles, I’d rather see mankind wiped out. So, fuck it! I’ll saddle-up, and ride an A-bomb right down to the detonation like Slim Pickens!
At least I can die without compromising, and not be forced into Satan worship, negro idolizing, ZOG/Zionist Morloch cult of homosexual praise and trannie glamorizing pedophile warmongering death cult bullshit!
Well, most of us have heard of Sodom and Gomorrah, and most Christians also know what happened to those places. Wonder who Lot and his wife will be in this reincarnation?
“Not going to happen.

Well, I think you highlight my point. Russia’s threat in my view was hollow if challenged — in good order. But left unresponded out of fear — result appeasement.
uhhh, no. It can and I suspect it may some day. These weapons exist to be used. mutual assured destruction is predicated on the the real eventuality of their use. I doubt if immigration has enough warrant, so that example, doesn’t meet a threshhold — at least not at the moment. The Us used the weapon as japan was in the throws of defeat — and retaliation unimaginable.
And I am not in agreement that such an exchange would be the end of the world — it depends on a host of variables for that. not merely an exchange itself. I buy the film FailSafe’s scenario. i also buy the potential for miscommunication, rogue elements, etc.
is there some unseeable force that stays the matter regardless of circumstances – maybe. But I am inclined never to underestimate the will to get a thing done.
In my view, Russia’s threat should have been met — immediately.

i need more specifics before i can respond. If you are talking about the US supported Israel because in 1973, she wanted to prevent a nonallied or friendly communist country to fall.
You think? Japan has recently concluded an alliance with the US. That should definitely make you think otherwise.
correction: i need more specifics before i can respond. If you are talking about the US supported Israel because in 1973, she wanted to prevent a nonallied or unfriendly country to communist from falling.
For those that think a nuclear exchange is impossible.

“24 Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. 26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.”
