Lots of half-truths and nonsense in Liam Hoare's piece, so why not look at it in the context of an old post from 23 Feb. 2022 where I asked, 'will Austria join NATO?'
May I sum up Hoare after I stop sniggering at how fittingly named he is, given the pronounciation of his name?
"Obey the US, make yourself subservient and dependent on us, or else you are an enemy of freedom and peace and democracy and the US is justified to sabotage, hinder, confound and ultimately destroy anything of yours it can."
There's a bit of hilarity here in Sweden, apart from the norwegians as per usual dominating Vasaloppet between Sälen-Mora. Turkey is no longer outright blocking our NATO-application. Hungary is. Background no media is likely to ever cover, given how complicit they've been in causing the problem:
Victor Orban sent a delegation to Stockholm the other day with instructions to demand representatives of the former Socialist Democrat governement and its coalition partnerns publicly ask for forgiveness for the lies and slander they have spread about Hungary; which they have - party and regime loyal press here has claimed ever since Orban was first elected that he is a nazi, using that very label, that he was elected via fraud, and that he rules without the people's mandate, that he is racist and sexist and (fill in the rest of the usual word-salad).
This they did in public here for years, for domestic reasons, thinking that they couldn't be found out. That should inform you of their average intelligence* and moral fiber: most of the worst offenders are WEF-alumni such as mrs Andersson, or party nobility educated at the secretive Bommersvik Academic owned by the party's inner circle.
So most swedes now think Hungary is a bleak poverty-stricken hell hole even worse off than under communism.
I can't really fault Orban either, I'd have done much the same if I was in his situation. They want a public apology (abasement), and an open no-hemming or hawing admittance of guilt - the one thing our Socialist Party has never been willing to do for any reason, on any issue (including aiding the Waffen SS) ever.
*Annika Strandhäll, former minster of the department of social affairs and a true Parteigenossen from her early teens, regularly confuse Sweden and Switzerland. On twitter and in public. Not. Joking.
Empire is rooted in power and cares about no people. It will not rest until all national sovereignty is drowned in the imperial goo. Both EU and NATO are imperial structures. All member countries automatically become imperial vassals and, with time, their political systems are transformed into a sort of Potemkin Village theater. Austria is surrounded by such vassals, utterly devoid of anything “national” and incapable of acting in the interest of its own economies. They may tolerate Switzerland but they will not allow any other neutral country in Europe. It is reasonable to assume that Empire has plans to take out Orban, a thorn in their side. Independence of a country is taken away from the inside, and so will be in Austria.
