This guy makes me want to support the other Habsburg claimant. He sounds like a typical Euro-Liberal that, like the rest of them, has an unhealthy dose of Russo-phobia and ethnic nationalism. He aught to be trashing the Merkel-Reich every chance he gets and should not be supporting ethnic nationalism. I don't like the National Front, but they aren't the threat to Europe. The threat to Europe are people like Angela Merkel who want to destroy Traditional European culture and flood Europe with Muslims. His knowledge of Uraine is somewhat questionable, since Ukraine is not "a long-standing, traditionally European country." Kievan-Rus was Russian, not Ukrainian. Ukraine originated from Ruthenia, which rightfully belongs to Poland. My biggest issue though is, again, why the heck does he support the EU? I have read articles in which a Habsburg (Not sure which one) rather moronically deluded himself into thinking that the EU is the HRE, has Karl bought into that?

I think Karl's positions is that some form of unity in Europe is better than Nationalism. he actually somes it up himself saying "I mean there’s an old historic wisdom that even a bad policy will always beat no policy." Russia is not intertegrated into Europe, and right now there's no indication that it will be. Not sure how you can read support for "ethnic nationalism" in this statement: "Nationalist movement was the cause of the First World War, it was the cause of the Second World War, and currently it is one of the biggest dangers that is threatening Europe." The fact is that Eastern Orthodoxy is traditionally Nationalism, and Russia is no exception. If Russia could be intergrated into Catholic Europe, there would be less problems. And aslo, it's not like he supports Merkel. The issues your talking about didn't come up because this is a Ukrainian webiste.
I was looking more for your opinion on what he said about Monarchy and also what he observed about America.
P.S. The Legitimists are the ones who support Karl's claim to the Throne.

Also, it's important to remember (and this is almost always forgotten)that the EU was not originally what it is today. As it was intended to be, a union of the Christian Western world, it would have been good foundation on which to restore the HRE and Christendom. Karl still holds to his father Otto's ideal of the EU, but that doesn't mean he approves of the way it is now.

Yeah, I did over react a bit. The EU kind of.... triggers me. About Ethnic Nationalism... Ukraine is the embodiment of Ethnic Nationalism. If your weren't for Ethnic Nationalism, that country would not exist. Also, Russia has done NOTHING wrong if taking the Crimea and supporting the Russians in Ukraine. The Crimea and Novorossiya are Russian Lands. They are only part of Ukraine because the Soviets screwed around with borders. His comments on America are interesting, I actually missed them the first time I read it. And whups about the legitimist bit. |

I see the EU as a step in the right direction gone wrong. About the Ukraine, it's ironic that it stands for Ethnic Nationalism, because the ethonym Ukrainian doesn't actually mean anything. I agree that The Crimea and Novorossiya are Russian, but Russia evidently won't stop with that, and I'd rather see a stronger Poland in Europe.
