Austria's neutrality in danger: Expert warns of Russia's attack!

An urgent note comes from the economic expert Guntram Wolff: In a possible attack in Russia on Europe, even a neutral country like Austria could not remain safe. In his current study, Wolff analyzes that Russia's aggression also has serious consequences for Austria, especially when you consider that the conquest of Ukraine by Russia inevitably endangers the entire European security. "At some point you have to make it clear that Austria cannot be really neutral," said Wolff in an interview with the APA, as well as Sn.at reported.

Austria's new coalition of ÖVP, SPÖ and NEOS has confirmed the existing neutrality in their government program, but Wolff underlines the urgent need for considerable arms. In order to compensate for the possibly missing military capacities of the United States, in particular under the political leadership of Donald Trump, Wolff demands 250 billion euros annually to modernize and strengthen military punches. "We have to be ready to take responsibility for our own security," he said. This is particularly important because Europe is currently weakly positioned in terms of conventional weapons and digital capacities, which significantly restricts the efforts for security.

Wolff also sees potential in the European armaments industry, which is strong compared to the USA. "The United States does not have the great military production capacities that many people are often prayed," it explains. Rather, Europe could quickly raise its production lines if the political will were available. This shows a clear need for action, also with regard to digital defense, where the current capacities are inadequate, as well as local media.

summarized Wolff warns that Europe has to show face and strength to counter the current threat from Russia. Ukraine remains a crucial factor because it not only protects its own security but also all European stability. "A ceasefire must ensure that Ukraine remains potent to meet Russian aggression," he concludes with an urgent reprint.
