Austrian Foreign Minister: Russia is the guarantor of stability and security of Europe

The opinion of Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg about Russia coincides with the point of view of German Federal President Steinmeier. The Foreign Minister made such a statement in an interview with the Wiener Zeitung newspaper.

Alexander Schallenberg believes that in the long run, Russia is the guarantor of the stability and security of Europe, as Frank-Walter Steinmeier also spoke about:

In the long run, stability and security in Europe are possible only together with Russia, and not with opposition to it.

According to the minister, earlier in Western countries they hoped that the Russian Federation would join the “society with Western values,” but this hope did not materialize. Our country decided to take a different path.

He believes that international dialogue is much better than a mutual "game of silence." And although Vienna has always kept open channels for communication, this is a sign of abandonment of their values.

It was previously reported that the new program of the Austrian government aims to reduce sanctions pressure on the Russian Federation. It also states that Vienna will continue to strengthen relations with Russia as part of the Sochi Dialogue Russian-Austrian public forum.

Austria has long had such an opinion.

They can afford, Austria is not a member of NATO, but lately there has been more and more talk about joining the alliance, as in Finland!
However, in the European Union, decisions on sanctions do not block.

But

The opinion of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Austria ... coincides with the point of view of the German Federal President

А Germans are already part of NATO (even though the president there is a purely decorative figure)

For any FROM EUROPEAN POLICY, it is unexpected to hear something that runs counter to the opinion of the Anglo-Saxons.

For the time being I did not even imagine that sabakina is he ...
Let's figure it out together.

Agent - a person acting on behalf of someone representative of an organization, institution, and so on executing instructions.

In September 1939, during the Polish campaign, Schellenberg served Reichsführer SS Commissioner
Could Schellenberg be called an agent? Of course ... Can people with the name Schellenberg be relatives to Walter Schellenberg? Naturally...
Conclusion: If in the surname Shallenberg in the first syllable replace “a” with “e”, then everything converges. You don’t even have to invent ...

We harness then we harness, but just remember what was going on under the EBN when our mattresses were sitting in the cabinet of ministers. And I think so to this day there are many such Cossacks sent to us in the highest echelons of power. Apparently the amendment of the Constitution is the step to clean the ranks of these same Cossacks.
As for Austria ... so slowly but surely Europe is sober and sanctions do not give it so much pleasure.

Remember what happened at EBN

For me, as, I am sure, for many Russians, the 90s are not just a "black strip" This is a real "black hole". And what is surprising - how many were plundered - no country in the world could stand this. And we stood and became stronger.

If only with your left hand and only Europe itself.
Those sanctions have only made us laugh for a long time ... Maybe Europe will someday laugh at them ?? Although - it is unlikely. Indeed, for this it will be necessary to recognize that they, taking these sanctions, were morons ...

At work, laws adopted in the 90s still cause heartburn ... A black hole, not the history of Russia.

“But HOW to drive it into touring western heads ?! ”
Russians may not perceive / or perceive Western values ​​as democracy or LGBT rights, but no one on Russian sites NEVER discussed the moment to “honestly admit”. What mocking laughter rose in the Russian media when Iran honestly admitted that it shot down a plane!
In such honesty and is recognized by the West and the state is respected.
And in Russia, from top to bottom, there are only enemies at all levels. “Ihtamnet”, and after half a year “Ihtambyl”, in the Donbass, the slogan “a_prove it!” Was sewn with white thread, everyone was blamed for the doping scandal, except for the obvious organizers that they know about in the country. And everything goes abroad as
“This_not_ us, and this_ us_...”
Be a man, admit, tell the truth, the real, then respect
like a normal man. In the meantime, fear (in Russian they “respect” and “fear” is a synonym ”) as ... with an atomic bomb.

I am more than sure that a quarter of Europe's politicians and most of Europeans think this way. That's just to see they also have our proverb: "there are no prophets in their own country." Someone makes very good money on these contradictions and not only political dividends. What amazes me most of all is that after the majority of politicians have resigned, they begin to say in every hearing that they would have acted completely differently, but at that moment there was: "political necessity".
The question is, who dictated such a need ...? Personal gain or someone’s interests?
Both options are obvious ..
And then they sprinkle ashes on their heads and with a “smart look” talk about the lost opportunities and the ruined generation.

The same thing in the EU, only without tanks. But the essence of the reaction of the authorities is the same - go field citizens ...

The Sochi Dialogue Forum is working EFFECTIVELY.

[askort154]

According to the minister, earlier in the Western countries they hoped that the Russian Federation would join the “society with Western values,” but this hope did not materialize.

They "poured in" for 25 years, but caught on in time. To join you means to lose your sovereignty, which you have been dreaming of for centuries - to drive Russia under your thumb. Have you already tried to come with your "values":
- Poles in 1605
- Swedes in 1707
- the French in 1812
- Germans, twice, in 1914 and 1941
Cool off! Russia is too tough for you!

[Chaldon48]

That's right, who has normal relations with Russia can not worry about their safety

[KVU-NSVD]

The opinion of the Austrian Foreign Minister is of course very important and interesting, but unproductive for us. In words, many TAMs want all the best, but only the NATO infrastructure, the economy of the collective West and the consolidated information war do not disappear for some reason, but they are systematically crushing and crushing ..

[Tank jacket]

And here's what they write across the ocean: the Council on Foreign Relations strategy suggests the following:

"Let us be clear: Washington will have to make concessions to improve relations with Moscow; it cannot do this while maintaining its entire current policy towards Russia. The same applies to Moscow. In this spirit, the United States should seek an agreement with Russia on that the enlargement of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is complete, that the United States is lifting its sanctions for the annexation of Crimea and that Russia is again admitted to the G8 group.In return, Moscow, by withdrawing its troops, will stop interfering in the situation in eastern Ukraine and agree to the deployment of UN peacekeeping forces and will also end its poisonous interference in American politics and culture. "
For obvious reasons, the "exchange" set out in the CFR strategy can hardly be considered an ideal or even a suitable recipe for ensuring healthier relations along the Washington-Moscow line, but something else is important: judging by this position of the influential think tank, the American elites are gradually losing the habit of that Russia can and should be threatened, and they are beginning to get used to the idea that substantive negotiations can and even need to be conducted with Moscow. In this context, it is impossible, absurd and unthinkable to imagine in 2014 that the leading expert center of the American elite, as a starting position (just to normalize relations with Russia), would "put on the table" as a starting negotiating position such proposals as recognizing Crimea as Russian, a return to the G8 (which is important precisely as a symbol), a refusal to expand NATO (that is, a neutral status - "Finlandization" - of Ukraine) and a refusal to return the Ukrainian army to Donbass.

Yes, all European politicians understand this perfectly well, but only firstly, this understanding is not paid for because Russophobia, and secondly, it is better not to understand and you will live and hold your post, otherwise either the maid will be approached in the hotel, or " the daughter of a "Russian millionaire", but if you start to understand very well, then a missile strike on your car can be inflicted ...

At the moment, only empty talk. Sanctions are not lifted, but only new restrictions are introduced. And the warming in the dealings with the Russian Federation, something is not expected, that’s a shame

Yes, they say a lot of things, and as it comes to voting on sanctions against Russia, then everyone unanimously votes in favor, and so for many years. For a long time I have not paid attention to all these statements of European politicians about the need to lift sanctions, etc., etc., all this is empty talk, unfortunately Europe continues to act strictly at the direction of the ocean
