A Resurrection of the Austro-Hungarian Empire? - Part 21 of the Anglo-American War on Russia

After Russian intervention in Ukraine in 2022, the United States pressured its European vassals to end all trade with Russia, and later China to slow its economic growth that outperforms the United States. This has led to three years of economic decline in European Union economic bloc, known as the EU, as energy prices to tripled. Europeans are angry, so if victorious Russian troops arrive on Ukraine’s western border, several EU nations may leave the dying EU to relink to prospering Asia and access to cheap Russian energy. Leaders of some EU nations are openly critical of mandates banning trade and allowing mass immigration. Leaders of Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, and Croatia are quietly discussing the advantages of leaving the EU. These nations were once united into the powerful Austro-Hungarian empire until it was dissolved by victorious France and Britain in 1919. Political, business, and cultural ties remain, so they may form their own economic block. Serbia never joined NATO nor the EU and remains friendly with Russia, so would join this union. A new Balkan economic block would prosper by allowing trade with Russia, China, Russian controlled Ukraine, and could join forces to guard borders from mass illegal immigration. ________________________________________ “Resurgent far-right conjures Austria-Hungary headache for EU on Ukraine”; Francois Murphy; Reuters; August 4, 2024; Related Tale: “The Destruction of Yugoslavia”; “A Rumored Resurrection of Austria-Hungary”; Matthew Karnitschnig; Politico; December 13, 2023; “Austrian Right-Wing Freedom Party Scores Historic Victory In National Elections“; Tyler Durden; Zero Hedge; September 30, 2024; “Ukraine to end gas transit agreement with Russia, PM Shmyhal“; Energy pipelines to central Europe may shutdown soon; Remix; October 7, 2024; Related Tales: “The Anglo-American War on Russia”; TAGS: Austro-Hungarian EU rebellion Silk Road Economic Belt program Patriots for Europe Victor Orban Alexey Arestovych EU sanctions Austria’s Freedom party Austria natural gas
