TDS Media Just Can't Stop: CBS Absurdly Compares Possible Ukraine Peace Deal to 1938 Hitler Appeasement

Apparently, the left's #1 rule throughout the 2024 presidential election campaign is still in force:

Anytime you can even remotely try to connect President Donald Trump and his supporters to Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany, go for it. Yep, No matter how ridiculous and unserious it makes you look, just go for it.

Welp, leave it to CBS Evening News co-anchor John Dickerson to strap on his Trump Derangement Syndrome-riddled running shoes and just go for it — in a ridiculous attempt to compare a potential Russia-Ukraine peace agreement to the British Prime Minister's appeasement of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany in the infamous 1938 Munich Agreement.

Nuts? Of course. Late-stage Trump Derangement Syndrome eats up a leftist's brain like independent filmmaker Michael Moore wolfs down a sack of McDonald's Double Quarter Pounders with Cheese. 

Now for the fun.

Dickerson kicked off the festivities during the lead-in to a report about Trump's determination to bring an end to the Russia-Ukraine War.

President Trump is pressing ahead with his plan for trying to end the nearly 3-year old war in Ukraine. At The White House today, he said U.S. and Russian officials will be meeting tomorrow in Munich, and Ukraine is invited to join them.

Fair enough. Every word, true.

After DuBois reported that a spokesperson for President Zelenskyy said Ukraine does not expect to hold any talks with Russia until the United States, Europe, and Ukraine first agree to a common position, Dickerson continued — immediately trotting out the worn-out Hitler schtick (emphasis, mine).

The Ukraine war will be the main topic at the opening of the 61st Munich Security Conference held in a city synonymous with Europe's appeasement of Hitler at a conference in 1938 in the run-up to World War II. History some critics are raising to describe President Trump's dealings with Russian President Putin over Ukraine.

Don't you just love left-wing "logic"? 1. Hitler drank water. 2. Trump drinks water. 3. Trump is Hitler. 

Only in this case, Trump becomes Chamberlain appeasing Hitler (Putin). Can't make it up; don't have to.

Rhetorical question (you already know the answer): Why can't left-wing, Trump-loathing hacks pretending to be legitimate journalists just report the news — and leave the punditry to the pundits and commentators? 

Oh, and the "some critics" nonsense? Which ones? Please. 

Anyway, the actual story began with a report from CBS News reporter Imtiaz Tyab, who has been covering the war in Ukraine from the outset.

For Ukraine, this has always been a war of survival. Nearly three years after Russia's full-scale invasion, there have been hundreds of thousands of casualties, and Russian forces occupy around 20 percent of the country's territory. It's a war we have covered from the very beginning. 

In May 2022, we came under heavy Russian fire in the Kherson region. With so much still at stake, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy is now in a diplomatic battle over who will negotiate the conflict's end. "I articulate this very clearly to our partners," he said. "Any bilateral talks about Ukraine that is without us, we will not accept." 

His comments followed U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's pointed remarks at the NATO headquarters in Brussels about Kyiv potentially having to make major concessions to Moscow, where Hegseth was asked if the U.S. was abandoning Ukraine.

Nice effort — throwing SecDef Pete Hegseth under the bus, too.

A clip was then played of comments made by Hegseth in response to the question/accusation.

There is no betrayal there. There is a recognition that the whole world and the United States is invested and interested in peace. A negotiated peace. As President Trump has said, stopping the killing.

No matter. Tyab continued:

Ukrainian and European leaders were also worried President Trump's decision to host a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin has also left them out of any potential peace talks. German defense minister Boris Pistorius warned, "The Trump administration has already made public concessions to Putin before negotiations have even begun." 

In Moscow, the mood was decidedly different. Evening news shows were almost gleeful as they praised Presidents Trump and Putin for having agreed to hold the talks. All this, while in Ukraine the war raged on. Earlier today, the eastern city of Kramatorsk was targeted by Russian fighter jets. At least one person was killed and five injured, according to first responders.

At one point, Dickerson just went for it — even more bizarrely.

Imtiaz, the Secretary of Defense says this is not a betrayal of the Ukrainians. How are the Ukrainians seeing it?

"Well, betrayal is a very strong word," Tyab responded, "but that really does seem to be what Ukrainians are feeling tonight."

Mission accomplished, CBS. Among your dwindling number of viewers, that is.
