Austria has denied the United States permission to use its airspace for military operations related to the war with Iran, citing the country’s long‑standing policy of neutrality, according to statements reported Thursday by Austrian public broadcaster ORF.

    As a German, I’m so fucking ashamed watching all of our neighbors close their airspace to the US military, while we host them inside our country, watching them take off to bomb schools and civilian infrastructure, then come back and have a beer at the local bar.

    As much as I’d like to assume these things happened out of conviction, they might just be free bargaining chips for the next clash with the orange moron. After all, reopening your airspace to American planes comes at zero cost and may at the same time convince him that he has “won” something.

    Either way: it’s good to see this become a phenomenon.
