NZCPR Newsletter: The Consequences of Appeasement

New Zealand is now reaping the consequences of the misguided appeasement strategy adopted by successive governments when dealing with the growing demands of radical Maori leaders.

They have bent over backwards apologising and kowtowing to these activists, even though their subversive plan to impose tribal rule represents a major threat to the future stability and security of our democracy.

Clive Bibby: Appeasement always ends in tears

Students of history will learn the first principle when dealing with tyrants is that appeasement is never the right option - no matter what the circumstances, particularly if the aggressor is looking for signs of weakness in his or her opponent. 

Consequently, it is more than a little bit alarming to witness the leaders of the Free World, particularly the current US administration talking tough in response to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine while at the same time trying to avoid getting involved in the defence of a sovereign nation that is being crushed as they look on from the sidelines. 

Clive Bibby: The Age of the Appeasers

The last decade of human existence has seen the emergence of regional leadership vacuums throughout what is left of the "Free World" that have been filled by political power blocs that owe allegiance to no one and are contemptuous of any counter force that tries to slow their momentum.

And their greatest ally in this naked grab for power is the "appeaser" who is ready to offer them the keys to what has been, at least since the end of WW 2, the only thing that has kept us safe from this type of open aggression.

This re-writing of the international landscape is the result of democratically elected governments (not just in the US) abandoning those who are defenceless against such malevolent actions.

Here at home the outlook is also grim although the "aggressor" comes from within.
