Ed Driscoll writes this morning:
Is NATO prepared to fight against Europe’s enemies, or merely wage the moral equivalent of war against global warming? I know which way I’m betting; as Richard Fernadez tweets,
“The European desire to defend against Russia is hampered by its
conviction that building up the military is a climate crime. Cognitive
dissonance is the mental discomfort or tension that arises when someone
holds conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes. Classic symptoms of
cognitive dissonance are: Anxiety, guilt, shame, or regret Feeling
paralyzed in decision-making Difficulty recognizing the person you’ve
become and feeling a lost sense of self ‘Trump! Why did you do this to
me?’”That’s been the left’s constant cri de coeur during the last decade.
A bit longer than that, I’m afraid. Like, since the second world war.
Trump is merely the most recent target for that same old argument. The argument is getting louder recently, because Trump, unlike his predecessors, is actually holding them to spending their money, not ours to fulfill that promise self defense… That promise being the starting point to NATO membership.
