Napoleonic Wars, Crimean, Franco-Prussian, World War I, World War II. Has it been too long? Do the Europeans now long for the cathartic release of mass killing?<\/p>\n
The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer once remarked that \u201cmankind is doomed to vacillate eternally between boredom and distress.\u201d Have Europe\u2019s leaders grown bored with the long period of peace that has prevailed on most of their Continent since 1945? Do they long for the cathartic release of pent up aggression and negative feelings?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a notable fact that pretty much every serious combat veteran of the Second World War is now gone, which means there is no living witness of the horror of a general war on the European Continent.<\/p>\n
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has started using Churchillian language since Trump sent Zelensky packing, as though there is a shred of evidence that Vladimir Putin aspires to make a move against Great Britain in the way Hitler did in 1940. I suspect that Starmer is now scheming to escalate hostilities between Russia and Great Britain in whatever way he can.<\/p>\n
For three years now I have been posing the question: Why didn\u2019t the Biden administration and its European lackeys at least TRY to work out a neutrality deal like the neutrality deal the Americans and English struck with Russia for Austria in 1955\u2014a deal the Russians have honored ever since?<\/p>\n
If Putin had agreed to Ukrainian neutrality and then subsequently violated it, the U.S. and England would have then had a clear casus belli. To this day, not a single member of the pro war faction has even tried to answer my question.<\/p>\n
