  Today, many are calling for Joe Biden to sponsor a "negotiated" peace between Russia and the Ukraine.  Two apparent mistakes,
  1) Biden is not qualified for the job.  2) What's to negotiate?  Anything more trhan a pullout by Russian forces would be a historic
   mistake.

        Let us learn from history;

   Hitler moved into the Sudetenland, a portion of Czechoslovakia, lying on the German border.  THings looked bleak for peace on the continent.    In September 1938, Neville Chamberlain was sent to Munich to "negotiate" with Hitler.

  Chamberlain Negotiated the Sudetenland away..gave it to Hitler as a reward for his aggression.  THen Chamberlain flew back to London, where he waved his signed "agreement", declaring "peace for our time"! ..and was given all kinds of adulation and praise by the king and country.
   In March 1939, Hitler and his wermacht, took possession of the rest of Czechoslovakia ...

   Just like socialists/communists all over the world... "give them a finger, and they will take a whole hand".

George Patten had the correct solution in dealing with Russia and got killed for it.

Correct Biden is not competent to negotiate a peace deal.

As far as a pull out, not going to happen.  The genie is out of the bottle and Ukraine will lose territory.

All the world needs is another Neville Chamberlain, to lead the world into war..

The world is perpetually at war.
