“Among certain foreign policy mavens, the year is always 1938, and the location is always Munich. Thomas Friedman gives the latest example. This weekend, he awarded Trump the ‘Neville Chamberlain Prize’ for proposing the parameters of a negotiated settlement to the bloody and seemingly endless Russia-Ukraine war. Not only would the execution of Trump’s plan, he claims, lead to the modern equivalent of World War II and put all of Europe ‘under Putin’s thumb,’ it would mean that ‘Thanksgiving will no longer be an American holiday.’ It would ‘become a Russian holiday,’ a day of thanks for Trump’s delivery of a Russian victory in Putin’s misbegotten war. Losing all of Europe and having to refight WWII is bad enough, but losing Thanksgiving? The perfidy of Putin and Trump knows no bounds!” (11/24/25)
