  • You’re confusing the complex dynamics of international relations of democratic EU member states and its 450 million citizens with the psychology of a single person.

    The EU isn’t just an entity that can make decisions. European leaders change all the time. Many decisions at the EU level can be vetoed by a single member state. There are many people, even political parties who have wanted a European military for a long time. But… there are others who didn’t.

    What you’re seeing is one person, presumably from Europe, who is angry with Americans. There are other Europeans who feel bad for Americans and yet others who don’t read any news at all.



  • It wasn’t even worth making fun over because it just confirmed they care more about saving donkeys than civilians or children.

    This is from the article:

    “We have destroyed Gaza, but I don’t feel any guilt,” she said. “It’s the animals I care about, not those poor people [the Palestinians] for whom I can do nothing.”

    There is lots of stuff to criticise about what they do. However… generally, I think the fact that an animal rescue keeps being focussed on animals makes sense. There are charities in Ukraine too that find cats and dogs that have lost their owners. There isn’t anything wrong with that.

    I’m only commenting on this aspect. There is a lot of racism in the way this person/rescue appears to operate.
