Today it's eastern Ukraine, 84 years ago it was Sudetenland

On this day, September 30, 1938 Britain, France, Italy and Germany signed the Munich Agreement, whereby Germany annexed the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia.

That day in Europe the bully tactics of Hitler won out.

Vladimir Putin will sign treaties today on annexing territories in occupied Ukraine, the Kremlin has said, in a major escalation of Russia’s seven-month-old war.

84 years later, the West will be co-signing no treaty with the aggressor, this time Russia. The West is standing up to the bullying tactics of Putin.

The Russian president is expected to sign into law the annexations of the Ukrainian regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, where Russia held fake referendums over the last week in order to claim a mandate for the territorial claims.

We are living in the most dangerous of times.
