>Austria is certainly the EU’s soft underbelly concerning Russia
one senior Commission official said, pointing to Moscow’s infiltration of the country’s establishment over the years.
I traveled a lot for work to the Western Balkans, always through Vienna. I remember seeing billboards with ads for Aeroflot: 4 flights per day between Moscow to Vienna. I assume Austrian also covers this route. A lot of back and forth between the 2 places.
If countries want to support Russia then that’s there right
But it’s all fine as long as they are quiet about it.
Because Russian money doesn’t stink in Vienna apparently
The EU really needs mechanisms to deal with nations like Austria and Hungary
People in business and finance have always been eager to support fascists, and if necessary even fascists’ mass killings.
These Austrians are doing the same as what their grandparents did. Apparently nothing has been learned from their ww2 experience.
politico trash headlines are always fun to read
We should be very careful with Politico. It’s owned by Axel Springer (BILD in Germany) and we know Mathias Döpfner likes to steer politics through his media outlets. At the same time, Politico has a pretty extreme US bias when it comes to international relations.
It doesn’t mean that whatever this article says is wrong, but that we should always consider the source of opinion articles and whether they have underlying motives.
You know who had an Austrian fortress 60 years ago? 🙂
Hungarian Irredentism. Austrian conservatism. Slovak Stockholm syndrome and strong propaganda campaign since 2014…
Damn, Putin may cause Russian collapse but he might make Austria-Hungary
Its all about money – but there is a difference between these 2 countries – Austria is one of the richest countries in the EU, meanwhile Russia is somewhere between the poorest EU countries.
So its Austria, who is on the better end here.
fun fact, austria doesn’t own its state treaty, instead it is owned by russia and is also residing in russia.
