Trump Re Ukraine

[MNW67]

Well Britain was standing alone in Europe

Dunkirk was about to kick off

Chamberlain
Lord Halifax
And several others were in favour of cutting a deal with Hitler

Google / wiki is probably yer friend

There was / is a book written on the caper

Also an award winning film if those dark / concerning days

Hitler had steam rollered through Europe with his blitzgreig tactics

France was about to collapse

Stalin at that time considered the Uk doomed and had cut or were about to cut a deal / pact with Hitler

The US were not in the war and there was many in the US who did not want the US involved

J F Kennedy s old man joe Kennedy appears to have been a mate of Hitler ???

I have no problems with the notion that Britain stood alone. I am very patriotic and I think it is one of the greatest parts of our history.

Southern Rhodesia, then a self-governing colony of the United Kingdom that was located in the now-independent Zimbabwe, entered World War II along with Britain shortly after the invasion of Poland in 1939. By the war's end, 26,121 Southern Rhodesians of all races had served in the armed forces, 8,390 of them overseas, operating in the European theatre, the Mediterranean and Middle East theatre, East Africa, Burma and elsewhere. The territory's most important contribution to the war is commonly held to be its contribution to the Empire Air Training Scheme (EATS), under which 8,235 British, Commonwealth and Allied airmen were trained in Southern Rhodesian flying schools. The colony's operational casualties numbered 916 killed and 483 wounded of all races.
