Austria's Kurz steps down - part of an EU purge of dissidents?

Reuters has a report about it
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/austrias-kurz-says-stepping-down-chancellor-2021-10-09/

Kurz led one of the less anti-Russian governments in the EU and the scandal which brought him down - though as is often the case almost certainly factually based - looks to me to have been planted in order to bring him down. Note that it was his coalition partner the Greens, who are like Greens everywhere in Europe strongly pro-EU, who who led the attack on him.

To put it simply, I think what we are seeing is a systematic clear-out of 'unreliable' EU leaders, 'unreliable' in the eyes of the Euro-Atlanticist leadership that is. We are seeing an increasing attack on Orban in Hungary and on the Polish government, and Kurz - who is possibly perceived as a potential ally of Orban's and the Poles', at least on some issues - therefore had to be shunted out. So why not publish.a scandal to get rid of it.

As to why this purge of 'unreliable' leaders is now underway, I suspect that it is connected with Angela Merkel's imminent departure from the scene. Whilst she was around she could be relied upon to keep them under control. With her gone clearing the decks of unreliable elements becomes more of a priority.

Having said that, Kurz for the moment looks down rather than out, and it may be that he will be able to claw his way back, though I wouldn't count on it

Russia, 10 steps ahead of the 4 Plus 1.

The 4 Plus 1 (Macron, Starmer, Merz, Tusk + Trump) thought they had Putin boxed in by creating a photo+media spectacle in Kiev, around what was essentially the Kellogg Freeze Plan presented two weeks ago in London.

The 4 Plus 1 did what they do best, media trickery. They pushed a plan that masked Minsk 3. They pushed a plan that Russia publicly turned down hundreds of times. They ignored discussing Russia's publically stated terms, June 2024 root causes.

For the first time in history, the losing side in a war believed they were dictating terms, and winning. An ultimatum demanded Russia agree to a 30 day unconditional ceasefire or face Lindsey Graham bone crushing sanctions.

They took instagram photos, 4 European leaders with Churchill #2, walking the streets of Kiev, confident in their geopolitical brillance. Trump fully backed their efforts via phone call, all of it was captured on video.

Then Putin gave his late night speech (western media seated up front) and completely ...

I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
