That Austria isn't allowed to join alliances is for their would-be allies, not for them.

... Concerning security, the interests of all EU Member States are inextricably linked. Austria will therefore continue to actively participate in the process of deepened cooperation in the area of security and defence...

Should also be noted that RuZZia has invaded quite a few of its neighbours. NATO membership is voluntary, Russian Mir is not.

NAFOs: protect imperialism and fascism, because we are brainwashed minions.

Oh look, a german tankie. You sure seem to enjoy your western freedom of speech, dont you?

u/Repulsive_Painting15 2d ago

Do you mean the freedom to get beaten by the cops, or the freedom to freeze my bank account if i have a different oppinion then the Staatsräson? Or you mean the freedom to work 70 h a week? Or the freedom to die in a war for the bourgeoisie? Witch freedom do you mean?

u/Blackout190 1d ago

The freedom that you can state your opionion about all those things and your ability to protest them without being prosecuted or harmed/killed. And you dont even work, nor will you ever, work 70h a week. I know a bit about german politics too. But if push comes to shove, why not move to your paradise Russia, China or Cuba and then try to do the same things there and see what happens?

Honestly, this just serves to showcase why NATO is increasingly obsolete lol

Two continent's worth of the richest countries in the world. Scared of... one pretty poor country and their very poor small friend?

Russia is committing several genocides at once right now

u/DopeAsDaPope 3d ago

You one of those people who uses 'genocide' for everything?

It's a war. That they're losing. Against a minor country that used to be prt of the red on this map. 

Yet we're supposed to all have a huge alliance to keep the red part out of Europe?

It's thinking that belongs in the previous century

You're either a Russian or a useful idiot.

I'm not a Trump supporter and that's why I'm not on your side.
