COMMENT: Dear Marty!
Even “neutral” Austria is preparing for WW3. Military service is to be significantly extended and “expanded.” Civilian service is to be “further developed.”
The Neos party, as well as other Austrian parties, are in favor of abolishing neutrality and establishing an EU army.
Anyone who wants to see clearly sees war on the horizon. Austria will once again be crushed in a world war. I’ve already said goodbye to my former homeland.
The unfathomable injustice and suffering you endured in solitary confinement have forged you into a very strong person and not broken you as they had hoped. This gives me hope that you will remain with us for a long time to come!

REPLY: Austria has been on the wrong side three times in history. We are approaching the 224-year cycle of political change from 1805 in just two years – 2027.
-
1805: Major defeat leading to the end of the Holy Roman Empire.
-
1918: Total defeat and dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in WWI.
-
1945: Defeat as part of Nazi Germany in WWII, followed by occupation.
Therefore, the most complete military defeats leading to the collapse of the Austrian state as it existed at the time occurred in 1918 (end of the Habsburg Empire) and 1945 (end of Nazi rule). Since regaining independence in 1955, Austria has maintained a policy of neutrality and has not been involved in any wars. That is what is being thrown out the window, as has been the case with Sweden and Switzerland. This is NOT a good outcome for Austria. We will run our models of Austria specifically and report soon.
