There's a historical consensus that Hitler had actually expected France and the UK to back up the Czechs, and was surprised when they didn't. He wanted the war to start in 1938 when he had a major advantage in remilitarization.

That said, we, the west, should be directly involved in Ukraine already. We've had three years.

Canada is announcing ~40billion in additional annual military spending today. I hope this means it's time to push Russia back.

Both were/are true to their word, and never attacked Else.
