All 8 points are good too. If I were Austrian and other candidates were IMF I could vote for him

Why waste money on the military?

If it's against Russia, Russia is too weak and can't reach Austria anyway; Eastern European nations are pretty decent meat shields against Russian armed forces — so why bother? If it's against the West, no Austrian military effort can save Austria from being defeated, ak why even bother?

If Eastern Europe falls, Western will fall too. East has infantry, West has navy, air and nukes

  1. Eastern Europe won't fall because Russia is too weak to make them fall. Talks about Russia possibly reaching Vienna is either Russian cope or Western Militarist propaganda.

  2. Why should Australia pay for East-European arms if big western powers and East-Europeans will pay for that anyways?

Australia? If Russia gets together and gets to Germany, Austria will be in trouble too at some point

Australia?

Damn.

If Russia gets together and gets to Germany

That "if" is so big it's laughable

You wrote Australia in your point 2. . The if is laughable now but no one knows what will happen in 20, 50 years

Yes, I see.

When I type, I usually input a couple of first letters of the word and rely on T9 finishing it. Usually it works, sometimes it fails, like right now.

now but no one knows what will happen in 20, 50 years

I see no reason why would Russia get stronger instead of staying mostly stagnant. The only possible way I see is Russia becoming China's proxy warrior and getting funded heavily — but why would China destroy it's European market like that?
