Trumps Alaska Meeting [View all]

Does anybody else see this meeting of Trump and Putin being similar to the Neville Chamberlain and Hitler meeting in Munich in 1938 where Chamberlain gave Hitler the Sudetenland.

1) In 1938 Czechoslovakia which the Sudetenland was part of was not invited. Ukraine PM Zelensky is not going to be there,
2) Sudetenland was primarily German speaking. Ukraine is Russian Speaking
3) reports are saying trump will let Putin keep some parts of the territory he already controls. Hitler never controlled the Sudetenland but it bordered Germany.
4) Ukraine is rich in Minerals and reports are saying Trump is going to give Putin access to them. Czechoslovakia was rich in coal which Hitler needed for his war machine.

Feel Trump is making the same mistake Chamberlain did. Putin is not going to stop until he controls all of Ukraine.
