In the closing of the classic film noir Sunset Boulevard (1950), faded silent film star Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) descended her marble staircase as she warned famed movie director Cecil B. DeMille (as Himself) that she was approaching the camera for a close-up: "All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my closeup. Likewise, an aging WANNABE met an up and coming WILL BE: "This photo op will give Kim Jong-un legitimacy in the eyes of his people and the world. It will demonstrate that nuclear weapons turn a pariah into a force to negotiate with," she said. "It will get the Trump some photos for tomorrow’s news."(Melissa Hanham, a defense expert at One Earth Future)
British Lord Chamberlain met the Fuhrer Hitler, Fuhrer Trump met Chairman Kim…History is fraught with the unbelievable becoming too believable…Norma Desmond, lost in the technology of the day, a silent movie star, unable to talk the talk, wishing and hoping so much to make a comeback, to have the world embrace her, seeking realignment with a stubborn Executive, whose only loyalty was to the company and its shareholders, more interested in an antique car than a seemingly antique dime a dozen movie star; acquiesces and for one second permitting Norma Desmond to pretend she is SOMEONE special. A MURDERER/TORTURER/THREAT TO THE HUMAN CONDITION OF HIS PEOPLE ANS THE WORLD Chairman Kim meets a narcissist/ accessory to TORTURE AND MURDER, Fuhrer Trump, who walks across a one-foot ledge, smiling. Both men with the blood on their hands still dripping, turn to the camera’s and you can hear them both say, I am ready for my close up…
A year before their patience finally ran out after Germany’s invasion of Poland in September 1939, Britain and France had come close to declaring war as Adolf Hitler menaced Czechoslovakia. The crisis was averted after Britain’s prime minister, Neville Chamberlain, flew to Munich and cut a deal with the Fuhrer which handed the Sudetenland to Germany and effectively left the Czechs defenseless. He then famously returned to London to declare “peace for our time.”
“We have sustained a total and unmitigated defeat… The German dictator, instead of snatching the victuals from the table, has been content to have them served to him course by course.”(Winston Churchill). The road to war was set and Chamberlain’s reputation sunk, never to recover. Munich came to be seen as a shameful betrayal of the Czechs — encapsulated by Chamberlain’s dismissive depiction of the crisis as “a quarrel in a faraway country between people of whom we know nothing” — and a last missed opportunity to show Hitler that aggression would not pay. (From the Times of Israel)
