“The world is made up of herbivores and carnivores. If we decide to remain herbivores, the carnivores win.”

— French President Emmanuel Macron after the US reelection of Donald Trump, November 7, 2024.

@randahl Macrons statement is so utterly wrong. Ask the Lions why they don’t hunt Elephants or Gnus. You don’t need to become a predator yourself to prevent being eaten.

@nshr @randahl sure. Except European countries are more like lazy cows right now, than elephants and gnus. Relaxed and full of food, sure that the world is theirs and everything will always be as good as now. No care in the world.

A #war in #Europe? Whatever. North Korean troops in #Ukraine? Don’t matter.

It cannot go on like this. Either Europe will recall how to protect itself and strike back at aggression or it will seize to exist.

@mykhaylo
I Agree 100% on Europe being like lazy cows.
@randahl

@mykhaylo @nshr @randahl They will never forgive France for being right. Ever. See also: 2003. So now it's gna gna gna gnus and just lots of copium flying around.

Getting Germans and Scandis to stop huffing atlanticism is a thankless job.

@mykhaylo @nshr @randahl Indeed, the world of dreams is over. Europe can no longer wait for the United States.
The European people are surrounded by aggressors on all sides. The question of defense is crucial.
@mariaurea @nshr @randahl and yet nobody seems to worry. It’s at the same time disappointing and very interesting to observe.
