At first glance, everything separates the Munich Conference of 1938 from the Munich Security Conference of 2026. The former saw Czechoslovakia sacrificed on the altar of Hitler’s appeasement policy by the “great democracies” of Europe, which allowed this “appeased” Hitler to unleash the Second World War by invading Poland a year later. As for the second in 2026, it produced virtually no tangible results, limiting itself to stating what we already knew: the deep transatlantic crisis and the end of the (neo)liberal international order. In short, at first glance, the only thing these two conferences have in common is the name of the city that hosted them, Munich. And yet, a slightly closer look at what happened at this 62nd Security Conference reveals more than just similarities with the infamous Munich Conference of 1938. Thus, 88 years later, the 2026 Security Conference can boast of its unspoken agreements, which translate into a series of “sacrifices” as significant, if not more so, than the sacrifice of Czechoslovakia in 1938. And the first and by far the most important of these sacrifices made by all the Western powers is undoubtedly the one concerning the most serious threat to the security of humanity as a whole: the climate catastrophe!
