Fair enough--I mean "many of the same europeans who mocked American military spending in the past." Many Europeans making negative comments about American defense spending is definitely a recognizable phenomenon. I'm simply trying to comment on the shift in tone now that there is a threat in their own back yard.

"Many of the X who Y" seems like a useful pattern. It's annoying, but we have to be extra careful when we step into these kinds of debates (as opposed to, like, debates about register allocators), because they're especially flammable. But I also think the exercise of revising comments to devenomize them (especially when you didn't mean to mix any venom in!) is valuable even outside of HN.
