Correct. I also think people are too harsh on Chamberlain. One has to remember the context back then: That generation had experienced WW1 less than 20yrs beforehand and were desperate to avoid a repeat. They were also trying to buy time for their own rearmament. That is not the case (entirely) with the current situation.
We've had that discussion elsewhere on the site, and I want to avoid that rabbit-hole. Suffice it to say that I find the "buying time" argument specious, but I don't want to clutter this thread needlessly.
