        Peace for our time" was a declaration made by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in his 30 September 1938 remarks in London concerning the Munich Agreement and the subsequent Anglo-German Declaration.[1] The phrase echoed Benjamin Disraeli, who, upon returning from the Congress of Berlin in 1878, had stated, “Lord Salisbury and myself have brought you back peace — but a peace I hope with honour.” The phrase is primarily remembered for its bitter ironic value since less than a year after the agreement, Germany’s invasion of Poland began World War II.

        The Danish Foreign minister mentioned Chamberlain 3-4 times today after the meeting at the white house, clearly stating that he was not that and he could not promise peace

        Whoosh.

        Parent’s point is that there will not be any long-lived peace trying to appease fascists. It only buys a little time, and lets them creep further and further…
