Interesting. Independent because they never chose sides-right? Now they know Vlad’s successors will all be the same.

Russians and Krauts are all the same. It’s no wonder they hate each other. They hate themselves.

I would have thought Austria already was a member of NATO, but then, that country’s international influence has become muted, compared to during the beginning of the 20th century.

Austria’s neutrality was the price it had to pay for getting the Russians to leave in 1955. But the result, a neutral Austria bordering a neutral Switzerland, split NATO in two from the Iron Curtain to the French border. The US military bases near the Austrian border at Bad Tölz, Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Berchtesgaden were probably established so that US forces could grab the Austrian panhandle and the Brenner Pass should the Cold War turn hot.

Can’t see any member countries vetoing their membership. How about it Switzerland?

Why don’t they just reunite with Germany while they’re at it?

Historically speaking, all German peoples seem to prefer being a part of a large empire.

Just what is needed, another muslem-dominated nation in an already muslim-dominated NATO...
