Words Matter
The naivete of our President has been noted many times by The Forgotten Man. Victor Davis Hanson writes here that words matter to our enemies reminding us of this story; "British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was ecstatic after the Munich Conference of 1938. He bragged that he had coaxed Adolf Hitler into stopping further aggression after the Nazis gobbled up much of Czechoslovakia. Arriving home, Chamberlain proudly displayed Hitler's signature on the Munich Agreement, exclaiming to adoring crowds, "I believe it is peace for our time. ... And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds." But after listening to Chamberlain's nice nonsense, Hitler remarked to his generals about a week later, "Our enemies are little worms, I saw them at Munich." War followed in about a year."
Hanson cites how "Turkey is growing increasingly anti-American. A newly aggressive Russia is beaming that we have caved on a number of contentious issues. The Japanese are distancing themselves from America. British, French and German leaders are increasingly wary of the United States. The Mexican president criticizes Arizona from the White House lawn."
Our allies are running away from us and our enemies are becoming more emboldened by the day. This presidency is rapidly turning into a disaster for our company.
