Norbert Hofer (FPÖ) to host US-Russia summit in Vienna if elected President

[Crumpets]

Does he realize President of Austria doesn't have an actual power?

Wonderful. I look forward to renewed detante with Putin.

I wonder who are you going to throw under the bus? Would that be my folks? The Baltic Republics? Or maybe just the rest of Ukraine.

There is no comparision with 1970s Detente, which was a right and logic move, an appeasing Putin now.

Throw under the bus? Not Poland, we need Poland. You'll be fine.

But I welcome Russia entrenching itself in it's rightful territory of the Crimea that has been Russian since the Washington Presidency, and I wouldn't mind NATO coming apart for that matter since it is basically the military arm of the soon to be dead post-WWII era.

I also hope we align with the Assad regime, work to weaken transnational superstates in the making like the EU, and prepare for the powerful economic vacuum that the collapse of China (circa 2050) will bring.

Do you think Trump knows or cares? Putin could probably name any country he wants US forces to withdraw from and Trump would just say "yeah, why do we have them there anyway?"

And why do we have them there exactly? What purpose does keeping Putin out of Estonia serve exactly? Besides muh UN obligations?

Because Estonia is a pluralistic democracy and when Russia previously occupied the Baltic countries, they deported hundreds of thousands of people, killed thousands more, ensured ethnic Russians received preferential treatment to locals, and brutally suppressed any opposition?

[Crumpets]

It isn't naive because I don't care. I'm not dying for some Estonian. And of course, the USSR was not a legitimate successor to the Russian Empire and the transition of power in the Russian revolution, being by force, was illegitimate. There is no comparison to, say, our revolution. So any and all of the precedents set by the USSR are out the window.

Just curious, do you have a map somewhere of countries whose citizens you're willing to die for and countries you don't give a sh** about?
