Your analysis is faulty, I've lived in Austria for 15 years and have extensive experience working professionally in the Balkan states - Kosovo, Serbia, Hungary, Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic. I've also lived in the USA for many decades prior to moving to Europe, and I don't have a single nationalist bone in my body. I can count the # of pro-NATO/pro-USA bootlickers in my professional circles on one hand, whereas the people who are categorically opposed to America's continued committing of crimes against humanity cannot be so simply counted. You seem to be aligned with the "might makes right" theory of geopolitics, but this is not the case among the people of the states I'm familiar with. Most of them want the criminal human rights violations to end - on all sides - but are not so stupid to ignore the American side, just because its shiny and plastic.

You 3 months ago: "This is sufficient motivation to abandon my Australian citizenship entirely and move to a country [Germany. Austria]" And you said the Ukrainian and Georgian expats were here in Austria. I'll leave it to others to decide if you're telling the truth. > You seem to be aligned with the "might makes right" theory of geopolitics. Actually I was explicitly saying that Russia annexing Ukraine (might) isn't right. ???

  Perhaps your reading comprehension needs work. Abandoning my citizenship doesn't mean I can't already be living in Austria and become a full citizen because of what I perceive to be gross violations by the Australian government .. or want to move to a non-bootlicker nation. >Russia annexing Ukraine (might) isn't right. ??? Well, that depends if you think fascist Ukraine should have access to ex-Russian nuclear-armed naval bases or not. I personally would rather have Russia have control over the significant population of Russians in Crimea than have fascist Ukraine gain access to those nukes. But, we peons rarely get what we want. I guess we should learn to wield our democratic power better ..
