Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg says it is important not to forget about the Western Balkans when discussing Ukraine’s potential accession to the European Union. He also shares his views on the prospect of Sweden and Finland applying to join the U.S.-led military alliance of NATO.
Exactly 👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is all about white racial hagemony. Defeat Russia first, then destroy China and then the rest of the spineless world in the global south can easily be defeated. The preamble of NATO clearly states the objective is to protect the ‘white race’and ‘civilization’. What was the need for NATO after the collapse of the USSR? One only needs to look at the past of NATO with all these men such as Hans Speidel, Adolf Heusinger, Friedrich Guggenberger, Hennig Strumpell, Franz Josef Strauss. NATO is no longer a defensive alliance but an offensive military alliance and its scope is not just limited to NATO member countries but has interfered in countries such as Korea, Serbia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Libya, Bosnia and Herzegovina to name a few. Instead of being disbanded after the collapse of the USSR and being integrated into UN peacekeeping, it now has ulterior racist motives. NATO was supposed to limit its influence over just the North Atlantic and yet it has invaded and destroyed countries around the world. Moreover it is not a legitimate military alliance as it has no support from neither the United Nations nor the global south. The preamble to the NATO treaty clearly states its objectives of protecting the ‘white race’ and ‘civilization’. Article 5 says that an attack on one is an attack on all and hence it also implies that an aggression by one NATO country is an aggression by all NATO countries and NATO strives for the racial hagemony of the whites around the world. Also there is no separate inventory of weapons and an army of NATO.
Why Europe is so stupid and being made used by the US? Are the politicians being paid by the US as it doesn’t make sense because Europe is the one suffering and not the US.
What the hell is he talking about!!! Russians got to go!!!!
Peace ✌ ☮ 🕊
We all need peace Russian is European
If this war does not stop during these days, it may turn into a nuclear war
The world is about to end, we must intervene quickly and accept Russia’s demands
Nuclear war will not destroy a specific region, but rather the world will affect the general climate and with the alliance of countries with each other, lethal weapons and mass destruction will spread to all countries of the world and destroy everyone
For Ukraine to be stable, so that its people and the peoples of the world do not perish, for everyone’s sake, life and peace, to stop global inflation, or to drain Europe of money and weapons for the sake of the whole world, peace
Austria is entitled to their own opinions….I just hope they don’t regret this decision in the future.
Austria: Nah, we’ll just keep taking that free ride…..
But he did speak well and calmly. Good interview.
@45641560456405640563 The EU defense clause exists. Austria is part of the EU. The defense clause not very specific regarding the form of support. I wish for it to change. I also wish for a creation of a joint army on EU level. I dont want Austria to join Nato. So hard to understand?
@rohr verleger Wonder how countries like Malta etc would feel about that. The EU might suddenly shed some members.
Would be interesting.
Austria joining Nato would actually weaken the alliance they spend just a little over 0.70 on the military. The government said they want to increase it to 1 percent but even that is not enough to defend Austria. Experts said 2.5 of GDP is needed. Having mountains and surrounded by Nato, I guess they feel somewhat safe. I It would be a mistake for them to just benefit on being surrounded by a strong alliance in case of a major conflict.
@rohr verleger The EU defense clause is not article 5 in NATO. Else they would be no need for a NATO. It’s basically agreed financial support from EU member states in case of conflict.
I do think EU needs their own army but that’s hopeful thinking at best and also one with out turkey would be a strategic failure. But The EU having a strong army would give the US room to focus on China. Which a asian pacific like NATO is needed.
The Russians won’t respect Austria’s neutrality.
We can’t afford NATO membership 🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is the truth!!! Just the state of our air defence is laughable …
As long as the Russian gas pipeline is not free in those countries….
He is right about needing to rethink the geo-political order in Europe now, including NATO application process. The EU, in general, is bogged down in bureaucratic processes that cannot respond when time is of the essence.
Words of Wisdom !
“Austria will leach off the taxpayers of NATO for their defense.”
Done
And how are they doing that? Nato members won’t help Austria if she is attacked. Only EU member would and Austria would help them since there is a defense clause. Who pays for Austrias defense?
2022: Europe’s most punchable politician – nailed it!
Highly intelligent man , European dont normally look for a trouble , European military will be better
the bottom line, Putin is not gonna fuck with a NATO country, if he wants to live
austria is in the middle of NATO , they dont have to join
More and more civilized countries are trying to join NATO. Barbaric Russia has NATO-PHOBIA and is longing for the past Soviet Union dreaming to enslave the former USSR countries. God bless Ukraine.
😂😂😂😂😂this will drive puppet Ukrainian government so angry
Gonna makes more Russia angry Finland and Sweden joining nato because of aggressor and Ukraine in courage them to join because neutral is risky living next to aggressor 🤪🤪🤪
@Boo At the end of the day NATO will no more excited it’s just matter of time (USA)will be the first one to withdraw from it
Yeah don’t think Ukraine is going to stress about Austrian membership of NATO very much.
Where do you people get these weird ideas from….
Funny dude talking about Libya
Austria is surrounded by NATO, they have no reason to join NATO and spent a ton of money on their army. Eventually though all EU countries should contribute to the security of Europe, not expect the US and poor east European countries to be the sole protectors of EU.
Well yeah you want security put money to it.
Austria’s military spending would put it mid-point of NATO members spending. This is probably the only issue that Trump was right about. NATO needs to enforce the 2% rule. It is the reason why Finland and Sweden are so important, while there has probably been 10 years where no real militaries joined NATO, Sweden and Finland are definitely able to protect themselves and contribute to the overall article 5 rather than just being protected by it.
The government is responsible for the people, not the media, nor the Queen.
Austrians think about the current situation. Austria don’t get egotistical.
Eu taking free money Austria will take also Putin is not wrong mr Austria nato is u me. Have to grow a spine
What the fuck does that even mean?
NATO and Anglo SaxonS, aka A$$, are cancer tumors to the world. They have to be removed!
Austria is sensible . Europe needs to work in our interests.clear thinker thanks god .
Funny what he says: think of Libya, think of Syria. Yes, if we think of those two, we realize that NATO is not a force for good. NATO was actively supporting radical Islamists in both countries.
Oh wake up to yourself.
In syria NO
Cool dude
NATO and EU are tricky because you need to expect new members to contribute and not just be a drain. There is a lot of underground resentment in Germany and France, and some of the reason for Brexit was because the EU was letting in too many countries that weren’t really making the EU more powerful. Ukraine was the poorest or second poorest country in Europe… allowing it to join EU immediately would just mean the Germany and France would be sending money to it. The same is true of NATO, article 5 states that if a member country is attacked, all countries must help defend using their full military. Ukraine already had russian troops inside of it’s border, essentially attack it already. If you allow Ukraine into NATO, then you basically saying on Day 1 you are now at war with Russia and must defend Ukraine as if it was your own border. We all want to be nice guys and help Ukraine, but better do it the way we are doing it now than NATO or EU… until Russia is outside its borders and it can sustain it’s own economy.
Really don’t care what any German speaking country opines. They always know what’s best, clearly. Everytime. They do things the right way, and everyone should do it how they say, and people need to admit when their approaches don’t work except for the German speakers, they are I N F A L L I B L E.
This is the AUSTRIAN FOREIGN MINISTER speaking what is best for AUSTRIA and AUSTRIANS. How are we telling anyone what to do?
plot twist: they dont want to join nato because don’t want to be allied with the italians
Very convenient – Austria benefits from the security built up by every other nearby country, but won’t contribute to NATO itself. Freeloaders.
I guarantee if y’all weren’t surrounded by NATO members on all sides that matter you’d be rethinking this.
Fair’s fair tho
You’re forbidden to do any such thing.
