Yes, I grew up in former Yugoslavia, even in the 90's Europeans were "soft", especially during the war in Bosnia.
United Nations helped with humanitarian aid delivery, and that is if they were allowed to do so.
Routinely French, British, Italian peacekeepers were getting shot at and killed, very rarely they would respond.
Some of them were involved in smuggling, buying valuable things very cheaply and giving money and food to poor girls and exploiting them.
Europeans also supported the arms embargo, which mainly affected Muslims.
Dutch battalion of peacekeepers did nothing when Srebrenica fell in 1995.
They allowed thousands of people to be killed, they could have prevented it, they didn't even call in air strikes to help.
As long as Europeans are acting like this they will never be respected by Americans, Russians or Islamic countries.
