Trump tromping on the path of peace prize

Just as Neville Chamberlain didn’t get the award after appeasing Adolf Hitler by ceding the Sudetenland – “peace for our time,” the British prime minister declared, just a year before Germany next rolled into Poland to spark World War II – Trump won’t win a Nobel should he broker “peace” in Ukraine on the terms he’s lately gifted to its invader, Russia’s Vladimir Putin. And just as in 1939, Poland could be the emboldened aggressor’s next target, and not the last.
