Actual history
Anyone who dabbles in Munich metaphors should be aware that the British were in no position to fight Hitler at the time the Agreement was signed. A year later, they had built up their forces to a level at which they were able to contemplate war when it was forced on them by treaty with France and Belgium. Even then, the "phony war" ran for another year before anything happened on the Allied side, except for Dunkirk---a defeat reasonably considered noble, in the absence of any victories whatsoever.
The Pod would have us pretend we are ready to open another front when we are not. Had the British done this in 1938, they would have faced a serious mauling and defeat, possibly leading to capitulation or a cessation of combat until they could recover their military strength, or a Battle of Britain lasting even longer than the real one did.
Note that the French actually considered themselves ready for war, and see where that led them.
So the whole metaphor is a failure---just another "stabbed-in-the-back" fantasy. Only the Czechs were betrayed (by everyone), but curiously, in the West, they have only a walk-on role in the appeasement myth itself, according to which the Munich agreement is responsible for the entire war.
