History isn’t a hobby—it’s a survival tool. The failures of “peace deals” like the 1928 Pact of Paris, the rise of Hitler, and America’s isolationist drift is eerily similar to today’s moment: an enemy Iranian regime that doesn’t negotiate in good faith, doesn’t disarm, and openly vows destruction. Appeasement and wishful thinking get free societies caught flat-footed—so Americans must recognize the pattern, reject propaganda and scapegoating, and face threats overseas before they become catastrophic at home.
