Housemaids were hurrying homewards with their purchases for various Gallic breakfasts, and the long sticks of bread, a yard or two in length, carried under their arms, made an odd impression upon me.

  • This has nothing to do with military spending. I agree with your notion.

    This has to do with the response of European countries towards different conflicts. Most European countries preach to respect international law when it favours them, while at other times they look away (Ukraine), often not to step on Trumps toes (Venezuela, Palestinian territories, Iran). You’re not a defender of inter’l law when you’re not consequent in applying/defending it.

    All these conflicts are initiated illegally, however Europe (generally) has only responded with disgust when Russia attacked Ukraine (and, if you think about it, way too late (remember Georgia, Crimea, Eastern Ukraine)).
