Why is Neville Chamberlain the butt of every joke? Was there even a leader at the time who could have appeased war? Everybody forgets FDR was a convenient fucking 'isolationist'.

BECAUSE THE ZIONIST BRITISH REGIME WANTS TO RIDICULE HIM FOR BEING COOPERATIVE WITH THE THIRD REICH.

FDR wasn't isolationist, the country was. The domestic economic downturn made the country look inward to its own problems. The unsatisfying conclusion to WW1 had left a bad taste in the mouths of Americans. Active foreign policy in the US was perceived as unwise 'meddling' in other country's affairs. Among both congress and the public at large there was tremendous sentiment against involving the country in European diplomatic games, even if presenting a united diplomatic front with France and Britain could have dissuaded German aggression.

Chamberlain certainly gets more hate than he deserves, as if it was he himself that personally laid all the groundwork to Germany's rise, but it's mostly because it's easier and more satisfying to lay the blame on a single person instead of the 'international community'.

No?

Because he was wrong but yes it's not just him but the whole British political philosophy of the 20th century.
David Lloyd George was an even bigger retard if that's even possible. Later Churchill basically turned into another Chamberlain only he was appeasing Stalin although it's true he remained a realist when it comes to USSR.
>>
Because he was a huge fucking coward, or totally blind to Hitler's intentions, or both. He's responsible for the Munich Agreement in 1938 where Hitler was allowed to annex parts of Czechoslovakia in the name of appeasement.

By then even the French, who are usually mocked for this, wanted to go to war against Germany while there was still time. But Chamberlain refused and France was no longer in a position to do it on its own.

Hesitating to render your own life to a just cause is cowardice. Hesitating to render the lives of millions of your countrymen in the same manner is compassion -without regard to how misguided as it might seem today, to us with hindsight and security in excess.
>>
A lot of people hate him for the Munich agreement but for the most part people just view him as tragic

Brits have never stopped being retards on the international stage, right now they're going to war in Syria because someone made a speech about ''it will let refugees go home''. They just blindly do dumb shit and decide it's ''right''

because his wisdom doesn't gel with the History of WW2™

s'alright

>>364823

Which is of course, why, immediately after Munich, he practically doubled the British military budget.

He wasn't blind, he was in too weak of a position to stop anything in 1938, and was trying to buy time to re-arm.
>>
>>365145
yeah, but then you can't present Churchill as the magic cigar huffing war hero who succeeded 'pansy' Chamberlain. So not mentioning it is more convenient for the historical narrative.

Even Mussolini had the balls to stop Hitler

Wasn't the worst

>fucking coward

You have to remember Britain wasn't in any shape to fight a war and politicians were still full NEVERAGAIN mode after WW1.
>>
>>365165
Churchill is such a fucking meme PM.

Yes, he lead Britain through WW2, but he is not the greatest fucking Briton, and people don't remember that that asshole was kicked out of office immediately after WW2 because he wanted to do some crazy ass shit.
