Dear Ukraine:
How does it feel to be Czechoslovakia?
1938 occupation of Czechoslovakia by Nazi Germany, leading to the “Phoney War“.
“Peace in our time!” – Neville Chamberlain, UK Prime Minister
1968 Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia
“Russia … aired a documentary on state television in 2015 that argued, essentially without evidence, that the invasion of Czechoslovakia was an attempt to prevent a NATO-led coup …
“… when the invasion started, the US could do no more than condemn – which Brezhnev knew. … neither President Johnson nor the American people were interested in getting involved in another proxy war against the Communists. And so, despite near global condemnation, no-one did anything.”
What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun. – Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NRSV)
