And the invaded stay occupied?
If you're talking about Crimea then... well yeah, wasn't that going to happen anyway? Not sure why Trump gets the blame for things that already happened on Obama's watch.
Same "peaceniks" attitude was expressed about Hitler anschluss.
We all knew what happened next.

I took too long so I stopped being able to edit,comment continued here: In the end, 18 NVA divisions took over the south anyway. So, the postulation is that Sir Thompson, friend of Kissinger, did this on deliberatly, once again, to maintain the "balance of power". Now, last but not least, we get to my war, the Global War on Terrorism. I have spent years since I got out trying to understand what happened there, so I w…
Thank you for taking the time to write this up. I agree with some of your points, especially on Churchill. I have generally found that the more I learn about what he actually did the less I like about him. I also suppose some of the earlier naval threat came from fears over some kind of a resurgence of the Anglo-Japanese alliance that was only a couple decades before around the time of ww2

Very much a similar issue and their were multiple silenced whistleblowers to that as well. I am glad my whistleblowing moment passed because recent history (last 30 years) tells me you do not want to become one.
> my whistleblowing moment Can you go into further detail? Not asking to reveal what you don't want to, but I am of course curious what you mean.
The moment passed because I chose to leave. I took the easy route to solving the problem for me, but its still costing people billions.

Who's blaming Trump for Putin's invasion?
The people that usually push that line. They are mostly blaming Trump for Obama not stating WWIII. I dunno what they really expect. There is a huge pile of problems anybody must settle before the US can demand Russia to free the Crimea (and one of them is actually establishing that Crimea wants to be freed).
It's also ok to solve problems separately, they don't all have to be solved at the same time or in a particular order.

I was asked the impossible, to write a complex piece of software with no ability to test it and it had to work first time without defects, and I had no specification, no one to talk to about it and no idea what hardware it would even run on. There is the impossible and then there is just the "are you even serious" type of impossible, they were serious although I still think its funny because its obvious insane to spi…

So what do you want to do? Start WW3 against Russia? Because that's the other option here.

Wow, that's a low bar. So as long as you can demonstrate that the population likes an invasion after fact, it's all ok? It's also ok to solve problems separately, they don't all have to be solved at the same time or in a particular order.
I don't think anybody even tried.
