“‘I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or another,’ J.D. Vance said in 2022 as he was running for the U.S. Senate. Now the vice president, he has been dispatched to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Munich. And it just had to be Munich, didn’t it? Where better to surrender to a tyrant without a fight? Mnichovska zrada, the Czechs call it — the Betrayal at Munich. But Donald Trump is no Neville Chamberlain — Chamberlain was an intelligent, accomplished, self-made man, and a patriot, albeit one who made a terrible error in judgment. He didn’t try to stage a coup when the British people voted him out in disgust. … Vis-a-vis Moscow, the Trump administration is not even a paper tiger: A paper tiger might at least give you a papercut.” (02/17/25)
