Well the EU (not to mention other western political entities) is either at or very close to that point where they must wage war (and it must be done publicly) or surrender.

Just wait until Europe realizes the extent of US, Saudi, Turkey and Israel's support for ISIS. I think all Western European leaders and their parties are politically doomed. The EU and NATO will be finished. Good riddance to both!
