   Ignoring the fact that the entire WWII "appeasement" angle has been heavily 
warped in US "popular history" -- as opposed to what happened pre-WWII -- the 
analogy above is flawed.

   Pre-WWII, the USSR was not on the side of appeasement. The USSR tried to 
get an alliance going with France and the British empire to defend 
Czechoslovakia but the western powers refused. Stalin made the non-aggression 
pact with Hitler that split Poland only after the west sold out 
Czechoslovakia.
