  • As a Euro, I am qualified to speak for all of Europe on this. TLDR; Decades of poor preparation.

    Macron did talk recently about the USA reliance, which I’m sure a search would turn up. Unfortunately it isn’t a quick thing to solve, so here we are.

    I wish we could provide a fraction of what the USA does.

    It is the situation we find ourselves in when none of our countries are investing in the military to any significant levels. Other countries are investing what they can afford, but have no where near the GDP of the USA. I remember Poland provided all they could, but had to say that’s all we can do because we have to think about ourselves in case we are next.

    I also think that you make most of the weapons in your country, so you are best placed to help.

    Long term, I expect the EU to learn nothing from this and the next time someone starts a war it will be the same situation.

    Please don’t resent us for the situation, because we don’t like it either.


  • It is sad, but this is also because of the generally low level of interest in classical music.

    I will say that even within classical music, he does not get the correct level of recognition. Possibly (likely) due to racial issues of the time.

    I have noticed more is being done to address this recently, which is a positive. Classical radio stations are featuring his music more and running features discussing his life and music. He was also featured in this year's proms, which is probably most of the general publics only exposure to classical music.
