Is Trump The New Neville Chamberlain?

 I have no idea who Jim Himes is and nor could find his home of Connecticut on a map but he has a good theory on why Donald Trump is so keen to obstruct aid to Ukraine, because it was his dealings with the East European nation invaded by Russia which got him impeached the first time.
Trump attempted to blackmail Ukraine by withholding military supplies needed to fend off Russia while demanding dirt on rivals including Joe Biden and it is this situation repeated now that makes him feel bad because it brings back the bad memories of his first impeachment which makes sense.
He then went on to describe Trump as 'a single celled organism' which could lead to complaints from single celled organisms but it was his final words about how in his dealings with Putin, Trump is a worse appeaser than the 1930s British prime minister Neville Chamberlain.
Now i do have some sympathy with Neville Chamberlain who went to meet the NAZI's, handed them a chunk of Europe and came back waving a piece of paper declaring Peace in our time.
Unfortunately History would prove Hitler wasn't exactly the most trustworthy guy but in 1938 it was only two decades on from the last devastating war and anything must have been better than the thought of millions dying in another one as was shown by his popularity shooting up to 68% straight afterwards.
Something during that meeting in Munich must have triggered Chamberlain though because the extra time he bought was spent ramping up the British military but i sincerely believe that Chamberlain was trying his damnedest to save the World from another tragic, awful war by trying to placate the German's, Trump on the other hand is placating the Russian's because Putin has a certain videotape of a certain ex-President in a certain Moscow Hotel with several ladies who must have drank a lot of water before their visit.
