:Just sending arms was not part of the deal. When Russia invaded, it full well knew it would face American boys on the battlefield. But given their experience with Americans, they gambled correctly that the Americans were liars and cowards. And they guessed correctly. So far America's ''[[Wunderwaffen]]'' haven't done diddly squat, so by the time American boys get sent in with the same weapons, the same idiot military planners, and the same political geniuses behind them, good luck.  [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]^{[[User talk:RobSmith|''Give Peace a chance'']]} 21:04, July 1, 2023 (EDT)

::'''Western betrayal''' ''is a popular term in many Central European nations (including Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and the Baltic States) which refers to the foreign policy of several Western countries during the period from the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 through World War II and to the Cold War, as rooted in hypocrisy and betrayal.

::''The "betrayal" refers to the fact that the western Allies —in spite of having promoted democracy and self-determination, signing pacts and forming military alliances during World War I —nonetheless betrayed their Central European allies by abandoning these pacts (for example giving Czechoslovakia to Nazi Germany). After World War II, Western powers did nothing to prevent these states from falling under the influence of communism and the Soviet Union (Eastern bloc), the nemesis of the capitalist bloc led by the United States during the Cold War.
