TED CRUZ IS ALSO A POOR HISTORIAN

In his blather-thon in the Senate, he made this absurd claim:
“If you go to the 1940s, Nazi Germany,” Cruz said Tuesday. “Look, we saw in Britain, Neville Chamberlain, who told the British people, ‘Accept the Nazis. Yes, they’ll dominate the continent of Europe but that’s not our problem. Let’s appease them. Why? Because it can’t be done. We can’t possibly stand against them.’”
The English conservatives thought Hitler would act as a buffer against Stalin or more bluntly, help save Capitalism from Communism, and that's why they tried to appease Hitler.

from an American non-interventionist's point of view, Churchill's manipulation of the US was not a "moral choice."
