Since people are making a joke of this, I would disagree with that thinking. Look at the last line of the first paragraph of the second page. The word is listless which means tired or without energy. And this is true for that time. People talk about ww2 but it's actually ww1 why western Europe not eastern Europe is tired. While ww2 claimed much more lives, it was extremely horrific for civilians but not for soldiers compared to ww1. WW1 was infinitely worse for soldiers considering the tales of verdun. To drive my point further Petain surrendered by thinking he could stop Germany by surrendering and thinking that they would spare the French. Of course we know that he was wrong. But the battles fought in ww1 were honestly very gruesome. This was also complicated by a incompetent leadership which brought wrath of rank and file soldiers. The survivors of that war in France did not really adjust to society and were broken men. Verdun and Somme pretty much demoralised various countries and of course when truth about ww2 came out it obviously demoralised Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Netherlands as they were what we call as the Bad Guys. People scoff at AI regulation in Europe but the reason is well known, the people in Europe dislike or hate what they feel might bring them back to those times.
Edit: One more thing I would like to add is that form what I read on Reddit I think that Europeans are scared more of the Russians, Americans and their own government. So pretty much the reason for the panic since last week.
