During a discussion about Europe – ah well, these discussions about Europe – the historian Adam Zamoyksi – he was wearing red socks and I admire his socks and his wit even though I disagree with many of his statements – asked an important question: are we willing to let Putin have Ukraine? No, fair enough. We are not willing to die for Ukraine; we are not stupid. (Well, some of us did die by mistake, remember MH17.)
Are we willing to give Putin Estonia? Well, dying for Estonia doesn’t sound tempting.
Poland perhaps?
Eh, Poland has ceased to exist before; probably dying for Poland is useless.
In other words, if we are note willing to die for any country in Europe, what does it mean to be European?
This was also the question I raised by the way.
Europe is a whore. We are willing to fuck her, we are willing to pay her pimp, but we are unable to give her more protection. After all, we have outsourced war to the Middle-East and Asia and we have asked the U.S. to fight these wars for us, and even there the willingness to sacrifice soldiers is diminishing, so what can we expect from ourselves?
