France and Britain decide in rather the same way that there's been discussion about deciding that large portions of Ukraine should just be handed back to handed over to Russia without consulting Ukraine a few weeks ago um it is incredible I think that that France and and

Ukraine should just be handed over to Russia without consulting Ukraine a few weeks ago. It is incredible, I think, that France and Britain and Italy with Germany are deciding that, yes, it's fine for Germany to go in and take the Sudetenland, you know, without really consulting the Czechs.

But when Germany does then go and take over the whole of... Czechoslovakia in March 1939. That's the bottom line. That's the point where Chamberlain goes, okay, I've given him the benefit of the doubt. No more benefits of the doubt. That's it. He's crossed the line. And so you reinforce your agreement with Poland. You do a formal agreement. You go, okay, we will uphold your sovereignty.
