This is where knowing what to think about Trump is tricky. Neville Chamberlian was widely criticised in hindsight for trying to appease Adolf Hitler, on Hitler's rise to power. To try to negotiate with him. In hindsight obviously Hitler had no interest in that, and some say Chamberlain and other allies should have acted physically to have Hitler removed. Fast forward to today and leaders of North Korea and Syria are similarly unlikely to negotiate, on anything. Putin is probably similar. So maybe, just maybe, a bit of muscle is the way forward. There are no easy answers in politics.
