Vienna Security Round Table „Security Policy Challenges for Europe in 2023“

Germany is currently on a path of isolation and destruction. If this sounds overly dramatic, let me put some of the elements in perspective.

In the energy sector, competitively priced natural gas and oil from Russia, coupled with reliable German technology in nuclear, coal and gas-fired power plants, has allowed Germany to enjoy a systemic advantage that has made possible a broad productive middle class, high-quality export products and a world-class industrial base. But with the energy transition – the phase-out of nuclear power, the planned phase-out of coal and gas, and the boycott of cheap Russian energy imports – this advantage has completely evaporated. No matter how many solar panels and windmills the government mandates.

Международный круглый стол «Вызовы политики безопасности для Европы в 2023» состоялся 30 марта 2023 г. в Вене, при поддержке Венской ассоциацией ученых и Центра геостратегических исследований. В мероприятии приняли участие политики и эксперты из Германии, Италии, Франции, Сербии, Польши, Сирии и Австрии.

30 марта представители оппозиционной Австрийской партии свободы выразили недовольство выступлением Владимира Зеленского в парламенте Австрии и покинули заседание. Депутаты этой партии считают, что на лицо прямое нарушение австрийского нейтралитета. Президент Австрийской партии свободы Херберг Кикль заявил: «Как нейтральная страна, Австрия предоставляет слово президенту страны, которая находится в состоянии войны. Он распространяет украинскую, натовскую и американскую пропаганду».

The international round table „Security Policy Challenges for Europe in 2023“ was held on March 30, 2023 in Vienna, in cooperation with the Vienna Association of Academics and the Center for Geostrategic Studies, with the participation of politicians and experts from Germany, Italy, France, Serbia, Poland, Syria and Austria.

This interesting discussion on the Ukrainian conflict, mass migration, energy supply and current events was chaired by Patrick Poppel, an expert at the Center for Geostrategic Studies and a political analyst in Austria.

On the same day, in the Parliament of Austria, the Freedom Party of Austria expressed its displeasure over Vladimir Zelenski’s speech via video link and left the session. MPs of this party believe that this is a direct violation of the Austrian neutrality. The president of the Freedom Party of Austria, Herberg Kickl, said: „As a neutral country, Austria gives its word to the president of a country that is at war. Then you could say that he is spreading Ukrainian, NATO or American propaganda here“.

The participants of the round table „Challenges of security policy for Europe in 2023“ supported this position of the Austrian politicians from the Freedom Party of Austria.

Preface

It will pass 33 years since the first post-WWII “democratic and multiparty” elections in all six Yugoslav republics in 1990. Next year, however, not only that this country did not exist anymore but the Yugoslavs have been faced with a civil war as a result of the post-Cold War “democratization process”.

Chairman of the political council of Opposition Platform, banned in Ukraine, Viktor Medvedchuk

After the victory in the Cold War and the subsequent destruction of the USSR, the model of relations between the US and European countries as allies, built during the Cold War, became unjustifiably costly for the US. 

US aggression against Europe began as early as 1999. At that time, the United States and the NATO bloc led by it bombed the civilian population of Yugoslavia, without UN Security Council approval, which is an act of aggression against a sovereign European state. One of the most ardent supporters of the use of armed force against Belgrade was current U.S. President Joseph Biden – a member of the Senate in 1999. The history with Yugoslavia showed that the US would no longer adhere to international law and could use armed force against any state as it saw fit.

Након победе у Хладном рату и потоњег уништења СССР-а, модел односа између САД и европских земаља, као савезника, изграђен током Хладног рата, постао је неразумно скуп за САД.

Агресија САД на Европу почела је 1999. године. Тада су САД и НАТО блок на челу са њима бомбардовали цивилно становништво Југославије, без одобрења Савета безбедности УН, што је акт агресије на једну суверену европску државу. Један од најватренијих присталица употребе оружане силе против Београда био је актуелни председник САД Џозеф Бајден – 1999. године члан Сената. Прича о Југославији је показала да се САД више неће придржавати норми међународног права и да могу да употребе оружане снаге против било које државе по свом нахођењу.
