We are appeasing our enemies and making the same mistakes as in the 1930s during the rise of Nazism

I disagree. We have a nuclear deterrent. However we are repeating same mistakes as 1920s. Gap between rich and poor is widening all the time.

Germany now has more control over Europe that it did in 1943. Greece does not negotiate it's budget with the EU, it negotiates it with Germany. Merkel is now "open to discussion" over the United Kingdom's immigration policy.

"We"?

"We" didn't have any nukes at all until 1952.

The septics didn't have more than another couple of cores, and no operational weapons in 1945.

True, plus the delivery would have been more than a trivial challenge, it's a long way to those cities from areas not controlled by the Soviets at the time.

I'm happy to use 'we' in that context.

I also don't for a second believe that they could not have produced 3 more bombs in that period.
