    1. Reminds me of the old story when Alexander the Great met Diogenes.

      A: “Do you fear me?”

      D: “Are you good or evil?”

      A: “Good, of course”

      D: “Why should I fear a good man?”

      Wow, this is like what Americans would say if they had any self awareness.

      Unfortunately humanity is so damn stupid allowing insatiable power hungry monsters into power, that it had to come to this.

      Very similar to the American „peace through strength“, but more aggressive with the word „fear“.

      Good. It’s unfortunate that this is needed in 2026, but it’s necessary.

    6. And suddenly the widely unpopular politician became the napoleon of our time

    7. It is deeply unfortunate that it is needed, but without the US being an unconditional backstop for peace in Europe, this is the path forward.

      Join the party, Monsieur. Show the them what you’ve got. They’ll judge whether to fear or laugh.

    9. Can someone point me historical examples of persons/states that wanted to be feared and have been on the good side of history?

      I do remember quite a few, but they are fascists, colonizers, genocides, terrorists…

      Really, this is not what we want or should want in Europe.

      Edit: we should not to want to be feared.

    10. “it is much safer to be feared than loved because …love is preserved by the link of obligation which, owing to the baseness of men, is broken at every opportunity for their advantage; but fear preserves you by a dread of punishment which never fails.” ― Niccolo Machiavelli

      I am not in favor in nuclear proliferations. In this, I concur with Pedro Sanchez.

    12. Based and reality pilled.

      I criticize France a lot on rEurope, but I gotta admit, they are one of the nations that actually work hard for European autonomy. If we achieve it, its in part thanks to them.

    13. *Si vis pacem, para bellum.*
      „If you want peace, prepare for war“ – having strong army is necessary for peace.
