Does Europe overall feel and act like that’s the case though?

It seems as if the European war has been pushed to the background recently, and most people kind of forgot about it. If you walk down the streets of Paris or Berlin does it look like it’s wartime, do people talk about it much, do they share the latest front news and so on?

Like what exactly would you want them to do? Run around screaming all day because there's a war in another country 2000 km away from them?

No, people just go on with their lives, doing their jobs, taking care of family and friends, paying their taxes, so that specialized workers in the ministry of defence can take care of the war stuff for them. That's how modern society works.

It's even similar in Kiev, when you walk down the streets you see people living their lives. Gyms, bars, cafes, clubs are full and lively. People don't stop living and enjoying their daily lives just because there's shelling somewhere else in the country.

Kyiv.

And "enjoying their daily lives" diminishes real tragedies of Ukrainians' daily lives.

		I beg to differ. Calling going out to a gym, cafe, club or a bar during wartime, as anything other than enjoying life, diminishes the real tragedy of those who are fighting on the front line and don't enjoy such leisure activities. Some people are fortunate enough that they can still get to enjoy life even if their country is in a war, as just like in every war ever, not everyone is affected equally.

Dunno about Berlin but walking in Paris as opposed to 20 years ago totally feels like an invasion happened and the country has been conquered. Same in Brussels. Same in several EU cities.

And I'm pretty sure Iran and the muslim brotherhood, and their allies from Russia, have something to do with it.

They're hard at work destabilizing the west and the left doesn't see what wrong with it: for example France just voted to classify the muslim brotherhood as the terrorist organization it is despite 100% of the french politicians at the left, all of them, voting against it.

We, literally, have left-wing politicians in the west encouraging islamism.

It's sickening.

		It wasn't Iran that bombed Afghanistan, Libya, and Iraq[0]. Gadaffi warned that Libya was the only thing stopping most migrants reaching Europe. [0] at least recently

		In fairness, a large chunk of those immigrants to France were "Pied Noirs" and other diaspora from its former colonial possessions, e.g., Indochina.

		Countless NGOs, in the past decades, pushed for mass migration to France, and called any opposing voice "nazis", the "darkest hours of our history", etc. We know the name of their leaders, their (ethno-religious) background, etc. They aren't Iranian. They aren't Muslim. They aren't Russian...
