Uncommon Knowledge - Bruce Thorton, 'The Wages of Appeasement'

Many of us speak about the lack of education in the Western civilization especially when it comes to history, and more to the point, geopolitical history that is in so far as this post is concerned, it is simply not taught in the schools.

The following interview with author Bruce Thorton on his new book;  The Wages of Appeasement: Ancient Athens, Munich, and Obama’s America. may be 'old news' to some but shows through history just how appeasement towards one's enemy simply does not work, from ancient Greece to Munich, to Vietnam and to this very day with Obama.

I implore all to watch, at your convience, all segments, as I will tell you that the last segment U.S. Rep. Lt. Col. Allen West (R-FL) would definitely agree with.

If you do nothing else, share this with any and all school age children from Kindergarten to College and or their parents to do so.

"This week's video features Bruce Thorton, professor of classics and humanities at California State University, Fresno, and author of the new book, The Wages of Appeasement: Ancient Athens, Munich, and Obama’s America. Through historical examples, including Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement of Hitler and the mishandling of the Vietnam War, Thorton provides evidence that appeasement is “the eternal temptation of all people.” He further explains how Obama has fallen victim to this temptation in dealing with America’s enemies in the Middle East."
