Europeans are terrified of fighting this war. Because they already have lost it at home.
Senator Lindsey Graham was very direct: “It’s pathetic. How far Western Europe has fallen. To our European allies: you have softened up pathetically and lost your enthusiasm for confronting evil, apparently unless it’s on your doorstep. What a shame.”
Graham is wrong: not even on our doorstep.
Countries like Spain were “reluctant partners” even in the coalition against ISIS, which filled our doorsteps with corpses.
Because, as Michel Houellebecq put it from Jerusalem, “we Westerners have lost the will to live and I fear that not even a war would awaken us.”
